Double Days

So I have never really mentioned it but I work part time at Athleta as well as my full time gig at Orchard Supply Hardware. If y'all don't know, Athleta is a brand owned by Gap Inc. and they sell performance wear for women. I cannot say enough how great it is to work for a brand that represents women and is all for female empowerment. After all, their motto is, "Power to the she" Athleta provide superior quality garments made for women BY women. Enough with the Athleta praises. Seeing as I work for the brand, a lot of the workout gear that I wear will be Athleta gear. That being said, the product I am highlighting this week will be the Athleta fast track tank.

Product Spotlight: Athleta Fast Track Tank

Fast Track Tank

The Athleta Fast Track Tank is my pick for this week because it's a super basic tank that is comfortable beyond belief due to its seamless construction. The polyester, nylon, spandex blend makes the tank lightweight and also gives it wicking properties that will be sure to keep you dry while you work out. The tank has silicone gripping dots on the hem to make sure that it stays in place during higher impact activities such as running or lifting weights. Although I'd have to say that the coolest feature about this tank is that the fabric is made with silver salts which are naturally anti-microbial and combat odors and bacteria.

Gym Style:

Knicker, Jacket, Watch, Shoes (Similar), Blender Bottle, Lifting Gloves

I decided to go on a run today as well as hit the gym so I knew that I was going to want some bottoms that were going to stay put while running as well as lifting. Seeing as it was a nice day out I settled on a shorter length knicker. This knicker is awesome because it includes an internal drawstring and side pockets to keep your phone and/or keys!! I also chose this lightweight jacket that was perfect to throw on after the gym. I topped off my gym look with my Nike running shoes and my Polar fitness tracker which I absolutely LOVE!!! Of course, what's a girl to do without some lifting gloves to prevent blisters and a blender bottle to mix up her bcaa's?

Casual Style:

Jeans, Cardigan, Shoes, Watch

I had a lunch date today so I needed something cute to wear but comfortable and casual. I paired up my tank with some skinny jeans and a light cardigan. Believe it or not, I've had these jeans since high school and they finally fit again!! That explains the tears at the knee... I threw on my crocheted Toms and a simple watch and was out the door.

Double Days

Arlene and I are both extremely busy girls, from working and going to school, to prepping for bikini competitions and working on becoming a personal trainer, sometimes we become guilty of wearing workout clothes pretty much everywhere. I know personally, you can catch me wearing yoga or running tights EVERY DAY (Sadly, this is not an exaggeration). Workout gear is made to be super comfortable, and when you're on a time crunch why not rock it? The downside is that sometimes it looks sloppy so we decided to create a segment that shows you how to style your gym garments casually so that you can double up your days from going to the gym, to going to work, or school, or running errands and keep you looking cute.

Product Spotlight: Nike Legendary Tight

Nike Legendary Tight

The Nike Legendary Tight is a great pick for hitting the gym. The Dri-FIT nylon spandex has just the right amount of compression to keep everything in place while you work out but it's also comfortable enough to wear out casually. The amazing fabric wicks sweat and dries fast. The only downside to this tight is that it does not include an internal drawstring so they will fall down while running or engaging in other high impact activities. 

Gym Style:

I wore the Athleta fast track tank to the gym this morning, this tank is super cute and light and has some ultra flattering ruching that looks great on all body types. This tank also has polygiene fibers which are anti-microbial and makes it so that you can wear it several times without it smelling. To finish off my leg day look I threw on this hoodie which is also super light which is nice to have after the gym but it also keeps you warm enough.

Casual Style:

sweater coat rain boots

For my casual look, I topped my tights with this sweater from Guess. This sweater is really cute, its slouchy and comfortable but at the same time it doesn't look messy. Since it looks like it might rain, I brought out my rain boots. They have a different silhouette than your normal run-of-the-mill rain boots so they definitely dress up the look a bit more. To finish it off I put on a warm coat for when I'm not inside.
