MY FAVOURITE ATHLEISURE WEAR THIS FALL .

I live in athleisure wear, its not that I don’t love getting dressed up, I do. I have always loved clothes and pairing outfits together and accessorizing, but with my job, athleisure wear is my go to. So you could say that I am experienced and have gone through my fair share.

I have always been a quality girl, I have never been one for quanity, although I now do have quite the selection for my athleisure wardrobe. My two favourite brands are Lululemon, and Victoria’s Secret Sport collection. Lululemon is nasty expensive, quite aware, and so is my husband, haha. BUT that being said, I have only gotten rid of one of my Lululemon pants in the last 6 years, and that is only because I totally was washing them wrong. There is definitely a wrong way to wash clothes, especially workout clothing, so be kind and gentle to them! The quality just can’t be beat and there is a reason as to why they are expensive. Victoria’s Secret is a bit more affordable and the leggings are super thick, which ladies, you need squat proof leggings, no one behind you feels comfortable when they can see through your leggings, and you shouldn’t feel comfortable with see through leggings either! The thing with Victoria’s Secret is that they are much more affordable when they have sales going on, I never buy their leggings for full price, always wait for the sale of buy a sports bra and get pants half off, or often times you can get a sports bra and a sports pant all for $50! So just be patient and wait, I will often do that with Lululemon as well! You just need to be an expert shopper, that is all!

Bottom line, if you workout a lot, and wear leggings, or need a good pair of black leggings, do yourself the favour and invest in a pair of Lululemon. Also, whenever I am spending more money on work clothes like this I go for the basic staple pieces that I wear a lot and that will match almost everything! I never go too bold with a Lululemon tank or leggings, unless it is on sale, I tend to be more of a neutral girl and I just like to stay classy, so I keep it pretty neutral! Boring color palette, I know, but it’s just who I am and I am fine with that.

Now all of that being said, if you are just working out every so often and really don’t live in your athelisure wear, then I maybe wouldn’t say it is worth it for you, but yet again, I would never tell someone to not get a pair of Lululemon leggings. That call is totally up to you, but I think once you would try a pair, you would never go back!

Now, the fun part, so my two favourite pair of leggings are the align pant, and the Wunder Under high-rise. Girl, you know I’m all about that high-rise and the seamless waist band, everything is in place where it should be, and nothing is squeezed into places it shouldn't be! When it comes to tanks and sports bras I'm not as particular and I will generally get them from Victoria Sport, they have the cutest stuff! With tops, I will get bright everything, this is where I will have fun and mix it up a bit! Victorias Secret Sports Bras are my jam! They are the lightest and most comfortable sports bras that I own, and so affordable! Their tanks are also super adorable, and who doesn't feel a boss lady in some cute Victorias Secret workout gear?!

Some more of my favourite pieces from Victoria Sport to wear when I am working with clients is a fun hoodie! Victoria Sport makes the cutest hoodies! I love this one! I live in this one, I just have it in gray! Again, neutral, you get the picture when it comes to my wardrobe! :)

Bright tops and neutral bottoms is where it is at for me! I know this makes sense to some people, but some people just do not like clothes or don't like to think about different things like that, for me it comes quite naturally and I love clothes, so I will share my tidbits, because I have come to the conclusion in life not to assume anything. Something that comes naturally to me does not always come easy to others, just like how a lot of things are difficult for me to understand and know and yet it's another persons passion! Expensive and staple piece items I go neutral and something that is very versatile in colour. Tops, is where I have fun and mix it up with some pop of colours! The cheaper items is where I will have fun, that way if I get sick of it in quicker, I didn't just spend tons of money on a top. This may be extremely boring for some of you guys, but I absolutely love clothes and I get a lot of questions on where I get my athleisure clothes, so I am sharing my insight and experience with workout clothing! Let me know your favs! Always up for trying new brands!

Happy Shopping, xoxo
