My apologies, but…we’re going to have to make this one short and sweet. Real life talk: picking up the house, doing [tons] of laundry and boxing up returns got the best of me last night. However, I was determined to get this gym look up for you all today because I am loooving these new pieces and I had a bunch of you all ask about this pullover after it was on my IG story on Sunday.
Ethan and I have been taking spinning classes again lately so I have been adding new pieces to my workout wear. My new favorites have to be these high-rise leggings because they are so buttery soft. [wearing a xs]
&& this pullover is perf because it’s lightweight and can be thrown over my tank to and from class. [wearing a small] These new white kicks are everything in my book. They seriously feel like clouds! [tts, wearing an 7.5]
Happy Hump Day, babes! I am seeing another busy night at home in my future but we are heading to Savannah Thursday evening so it’ll all be worth it!
So lately I have really had a thing for sweatshirts. That’s not typically my style but I feel like there are just too many cute ones out there right now to pass up. && I am just really, really into casual pieces at the moment. Perfect for chilly, grey weather–which is what we’ve been having here.
Plus, what’s better than a sweatshirt that actually says ‘good vibes’?! I think that pretty much means you will have a better day just by throwing it on. It’s a soft one too! [wearing a small]
If you don’t have a pair of white sneaks yet then get on that. You will wear them tons! [wearing a size 6 1/2 in mine, be sure to size down at least one full size]
I found a really cute alternative to my Givenchy bag I have been carrying non-stop! Both this one and this one are so similar in size and shape and so, so much more affordable!
I have yet to get solid goals written down for 2017, but I am definitely tackling that ASAP. I have so many things I would like to do for Weekend Wishing this year floating around in my head and I am really, really excited about all of them but I also feel like if I don’t actually take the time to write them down then they will get overlooked. So, that is on the agenda for sure. And I know there are some weak areas that I need to improve on. I want to write those down too so I can tackle them as well. Have you all made any resolutions yet?
This cold weather has me super content to wear athleisure outfits and call it a day. Whenever I am able to throw on leggings and tennies then I am all about it.
So that being said–I could not resist this new Nike pullover when I found it. I love that it’s long enough to wear with leggings and it is the perfect weight.
I read a few of the reviews before I placed it in my cart and people were complaining about it not being fleece inside. Clearly, I ordered regardless [haha] and I have to say.. I’m a fan. I think I like it even better because it’s not too bulky. But the BEST part?? Hands down–the pockets! [I sized up 2 sizes for an oversized fit and length and got a M]
&& we can’t skip over these leggings because they are definitely worth buying. They are Zella (my current fave) and you all have seen me wear them a lot in my IG pics–I LOVE the material on the front and the fact they they are high-waisted. [wearing an xs here & I am right under 5′ 4″]
Be prepared to see some more casual looks on WW in the coming months too because (along with the rest of America, I know,I know) plan to get my butt in gear in the new year. I want to say hello to burning calories instead of eating them for a change.
But… until then… pass the sugar cookies puuuuhlease!
I was SO in need for some great workout basics so I was super excited to partner with Nordstrom to pick out some of my favorite items to purchase and share with you all. I was super selective because I wanted to make sure these were pieces I would wear for years rather than months. I’ll take you all through each piece below!
LEGGINGSI have to start with these because for me having a couple of [perfect] pairs of black leggings in my closet is essential. I wear them multiple times every week so having a pair that fits good and holds me in in all the right places is key. I only buy leggings now that are high-rise–which these are! I also loved the contrasting detail on the front of these and the mesh strip on the side. It gives them a little edge but isn’t an added detail that makes them unflattering–which I feel happens often with other pairs I see for sale. They also come in a super cute grey color too (that I might order) and I love that the price point is so great on these! [For reference on length and fit: I am 5’3″ and I ordered an xs]
TANK I am a sucker for a good black workout top and I was looking for a good, plain Nike one. This one is perf! I love the simplicity of it and the cut. It comes in 2 other colors too! [wearing an xs]
TENNIS SHOESI know black and white tennis shoes can seem boring to some people, but I tend to love “plain” tennies. You all know I love neutrals so having tennis shoes that go with EVERYTHING are a must for me. I have a pair that looks really similar to these that I wear on the weekends a lot but I can’t wear them on a long walk or on the treadmill, so I was in the market for a good pair of running shoes. When I got these out of the box I said, “Oh yay! These are so comfy!!” and I started hopping up and down in the kitchen–no kidding, haha. So needless to say, they are comfortable but they also have a structured feel. Plus side: They are right at $100. And if you’re more fun than me and like for your shoes to be more vibrant then there’s oodles of other color options for you to pick from too! 😉 [I went up a half size in these]
CARDIGAN This cardigan feels like pajamas. Yep, pajamas. So much so that I know I’ll end up wearing it while I lay around the house too! I try to get my butt out of bed a couple times a week and hit an early morning workout class–it’s never easy to get up but I do think it helps make my mood better when I throw on something cozy like this over my workout gear for the ride over. Sometimes it’s the little things, right? [sweater is oversized, I’m wearing an xs]
FYI–this is selling like hot cakes, so if you’re in the market for the grey color don’t wait around!
SOCKS I know you can’t see my socks, but these are the ones that I have on and swear by. I love the no-show pairs (except when running).
BAG I have had this tote for over a year now (I actually have it in two colors) and I still use it weekly. I love it for a gym bag because it’s easy to throw anything in and it has an attached zipper pouch inside to store your cell phone and jewelry during your workout. Plus, for $50 I don’t mind to throw my dirty tennies inside if I need to. It’s also reversible!
I know this post was a tad long–sorry! But I wanted to make sure I gave you all an honest review about these items because I know how important it is to find good basics that fit your lifestyle. I hope this helps if you all are in the market for some new workout goodies!
You should have seen my excitement this morning when I remembered I had this wrap top–it honestly made my day! Ha! I love when I have something cute to wear that’s SUPER comfy too, especially on a Saturday morning. I mean, those were made to be easy, right?! Well if you think like me then you NEED this Zella wrap top. The material is perfect–thin and really soft. The best part is it doesn’t wrinkle either. Which is perfect because I just wore my tank when we walked to get coffee [it is a scorcher here today, so hot] and had the wrap top tucked in my purse so I could pull it out and throw it on once we were inside for lunch. I really want the black now! And you all have heard me rave about this sports bra before.. my favorite hands down!! It’s on sale now too.
Hope you all are having a good weekend! My bestie is in town from NYC so I am on cloud nine. Follow along on Snapchat and IG stories to see what were up to!
