I read an article once (loosely referenced intentional as it might not have been a real article but rather a decision my girlfriend and I made one time) that said you should buy new work out clothes almost as often as you buy regular clothes because whenever you get new clothes you want to wear it. I totally agree. I have personally used this approach. Bought myself nice and new work out clothes that I want to have a reason to wear (which actually IS working out!!).
And now that it's spring and I'm trying out new work out places I want to get new work out stuff to help get me back on track. And after years of avoiding the ads or succumbing to peer pressure (see Huffington Post article), I have never shopped at Lululemon. I finally made myself go in and look at the clothes that EVERYONE in class wears.
Woah. That's expensive. But I don't know where else to go. I've purchased enough Target and Gap items but am getting tired of their styles. I also just realized there's a difference between Lululemon and Athletica.
Any recommendations? Here are things I wish I could justify spending $500 on.
Hey lady! I saw you were blogging from your gcaht signature. You hit on one my favorite subjects with this post, so I thought I would remove myself from lurking mode and leave a comment. :)
ReplyDeleteSo, I basically live in athletic apparel. I like to invest in unique jackets and hoodies from Lululemon or Under Armour, but I hit TJ Maxx or Marshalls for tops and capris/shorts/pants. Nordstrom Rack is good sometimes. I've noticed that Target is taking hints from places like Lululemon and fashioning their workout stuff after them. Good luck finding more affordable stuff!
