OK, wake up and take notes, people. I’m about to let you in on the next big thing: whisper necklaces. It’s a term I made up that means the opposite of statement necklaces. Statement necklaces have been the trend for a while now, so we’re getting to the point where everyone will feel like “rebelling.” So the next time you see someone wearing a dainty necklace like this, compliment her on her whisper necklace. If you say it confidently enough, everyone will think it’s a real thing. If anyone is like, “Um…WTF? Whisper necklace?” just be like “duh, it’s all over the blogosphere and it’s so fetch.”

When I was in elementary and middle school, I did gymnastics. I wasn’t that great, but I was crazy strong and it was awesome. I used to challenge the boys in my class to arm wrestle, and I usually won (that’s the way I remember it, anyway). I quit gymnastics to focus on dance, which still kept me in great shape all the way through college and beyond, when I taught dance for a few years.

Then when I started law school, I didn’t have time to teach dance, and I didn’t have the money to take classes either. So for three years I basically had no regular exercise. Pathetic, right? I know. I’m blessed with a good metabolism, so I didn’t look like I had let myself go, but that’s how I felt.

So once the Bar exam was over, I started working on getting my guns back. I’ve been trying to give them a workout twice a week for the past couple months, and I’m starting to feel like my old badass self. Unfortunately, I don’t think my scrawny bod is ever going to have Michelle Obama-esque arms, but if I flex, I’m pretty intimidating…

See? Watch out, muggers. You’re messing with the wrong girl. Also, this clutch is practically empty. So…move along.

I love how this girly dress (from H&M but not available online) is perfect for showing off my arms! I wore it to dinner to celebrate the first day at my new job last week. And let me tell you, I needed a lot of strength to shovel all that fondu into my face.
