I love working out. In fact, I am obsessed with working out ever since I moved to a new place. My favorite new workout method is Barre. When I started going on a regular basis, besides noticing elongated muscles on myself, I also noticed that everyone dresses in the cutest workout attire. Maybe I hadn't noticed this because I had quit my gym membership years ago and had begun working out at home with the DVD method. My favorites being, Jillian Michaels and Ellen Barrett.
Now, I haven't been living under a rock. I knew places such as Lulu Lemon exist, but I hated to think that yoga pants would be upwards of $70.00. After seeing all the cute outfits at Barre class, I decided to go to my nearest Forver 21 and see what clothes I could get for a sweet bargain. After seeing their amazing selection, I decided that buying workout clothes that are cute and flattering make me want to go to class! I know, I know.. crazy! But it works for me! Does this methodology work for anyone else??
I found several articles on this phenomenon and for starters, listen to what the Huffington Post had to say, "Yoga pants are the new jeans, neon sports bras have become the "it" accessory and long athletic socks are hipper than high heels" Now, you and I both know I would never say athletic socks are hipper than high heels, but its this concept that is so interesting to me! Maybe athletic clothing became more prevalent when Stella McCarthy and Alexander Wang started designing them? That coupled with chain retailers to make things more accessible for the everyday consumer made this trend boom.
I wanted to feature a few of my favorite looks and places to get super affordable, fashionable pieces. We all want to be looking great at all minutes of the day anyways right!? Might as well work up a sweat looking hotter than ever!

Alright- how many times have we all been into Target to buy toilette paper and ended up browsing the entire store and picking up shoes, bath towels and a cute lamp!? Gosh, I hate to admit this but it happens to me a lot. Target has some really fashionable, really affordable pieces. If you are in the market for some check here or here! Sometimes I find, especially with Target going in person is really the way to go! Photo Source.
The Gap has the most comfortable, cozy workout clothing material! My good friend, who I will lovingly refer to as Kiki, and I discovered this when we were browsing one day. We initially got them to workout in... and then, they became comfy wear around the house pants. This has happened to everyone right!? You should really check them out! Here and here or ever here are good options for you to start out with! Photo Source
My latest obsession happens to be Fabletics!!! Very affordable, very comfortable, extremely fashionable clothing coming from Co-Founder Kate Hudson's company. I stumbled upon this company when I saw the amazing deal they feature above on their website. I ordered and have been hooked ever since. The great thing about Fabletics is that you get three pieces for the price of two or in some stores cases even one. They use really good quality fabrics and I haven't been disappointed yet. Some of my favorite looks that I have bought myself are here, here and here! I hope you get a chance to try them!
Last, but certainly not least, every girls favorite friend on a budget.. Forever 21! I was very impressed with their large array of workout clothing. They have amazing colors and are always switching out their looks! If you are like me, and like to switch things up pretty regularly, this is the place to do it! Especially for workout clothing. I have had nothing but good luck with their quality and fabrics.. This is saying something I know. If you are wanting to try Forever 21's workout clothing try here, here or even here! Photo Source.

So nice to see my go to making your list! Keep the tips coming!
ReplyDeleteThinking to take a resolution on New Year to do a regular workout and for that have to buy work out gear so that my exercise will be more comfortable and easy. Have to visit a nearby store to buy them. Hope will get them on good rates.
