Building her stamina! Julianne Hough is stylishly low-key while grabbing lunch at Joan's On Third as she preps for DWTS return 

She's set to resume her place on the judges panel for season 23 of Dancing With The Stars.

Julianne Hough found a nice way to bolster her physical and mental prowess as she grabbed a bite at Joan's On Third in West Hollywood on Friday.

The 28-year-old was casually chic in a light knit sleeveless top and faded black jeans with trendy tears at both the knees, and a pair of sensible yet stylish flats.

Julianne emerged from the eatery looking perfectly coiffed with straight, shining locks, and tinted shades covering her eyes.

She had a coffee-to-go in her grasp along with cell phone while waiting for her car at the valet set up in front of the cafe.

Julianne's outing coincided with the inspirational message she posted to Instagram on Friday.

'Always aspire to be the best version of who you are! I believe there is a light in all of us that can get not only you but others through dark times...,' she wrote.

'Always dream big and aspire to be a light in someone's life!'

Following those thoughts, Julianne is gearing up to bring her dancing expertise to the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars.

The star will return as a judge, E! News recently reported.

Her brother Derek Hough will also be headed back to the talent competition show as a pro dancer, with former Taxi star Marilu Henner, 64, as his partner.

Julianne, who is engaged to NHL player Brooks Laich, will certainly get plenty of opportunity to show off her amazing physique from the judges' table - in designer wear.

She recently told Shape magazine she feels she looks better than ever, saying: 'I love my shape because I feel strong and fit, and that makes me feel confident.'
