Happy Wednesday lovelies!
I am a HUGE fan of workout clothes. I wear them a lot! Sometimes the right term for them would be “fakeout clothes,” because sometimes I wear them when I’m not actually working out. Ha!
Most days though, when they are on, I am headed to the gym or on a walk/run.
I am always searching for fun workout clothes and recently I discovered that my beloved Anthroplogie is now carrying amazing activewear! Fancy Finds alert!!! They have some adorable items, so I had to try a few things to try immediately. I am usually a pretty loyal lululemon customer (and I still am!), but, after trying a few of these items, I am pretty much in LOVE!
I am pretty much in LOVE with the pants. Not only are they fabulous and fun patterns, but they have a thick waistband that holds the stomach in. I am a HUGE fan of the thick waistband. What mom isn’t?! I will not wear any workout pants without one. After two kids, it’s pretty much a necessity for me. Really, I sometimes wish my jeans had a thick waistband too! Ha!
As far as workout tops, I like tight for some workouts and loose for others. It really depends on the day honestly. I feel like a tighter tank or tee helps me hold my core in better, so I often wear those for a barre class and some days in my spin classes too, but some days loose is just better. I am a big fan of the built in sports bra too. I have a few shirts that I LOVE that have a built in bra!
I always love to have a few key jackets to wear while working out (walking/running outside) and to wear into the gym. I have a few that I have had for years now and they last forever. There are so adorable versions at Anthro right now and I pretty much love and want them all. Peplum and ruffle on a workout jacket?! You had me at hello! LOVE!
I am obsessed with these BKR water bottles. They are glass, BPA free(silicone) and dishwasher safe! LOVE them! My collection has been growing over the past few months!
Workout socks! I never have matching socks, so I just embrace it. Target has sets of coordinating mismatched workout socks and I love them. Your socks may not match, but they are always in the same color scheme and cute!
Then of course there are the shoes. To each their own on shoes, but I LOVE Nike Free and always wear them. They are my absolute favorite and I buy them again and again. There are SO many fabulous colors and prints out there! These zebra print are seriously amazing! I just got a new pair, so these will have to wait, but don’t you just love them?
Doesn’t all of the COLORFUL and cute stuff make you want to head out to the gym or for a walk/run? It does for me! I am headed to spin class on a bit! For those of you that have asked, I am working on a post with my workout routine. So, that is coming soon!
What are your favorite places to buy activewear?
SUCH adorable things, Ashley!!! I am curious – do the LPs accompany you to the gym and maybe go to gym daycare, or have you figured out a sitter for them? My major issue with the gym is I hate taking time away from my little one and he is also not old enough for the gym daycare yet! Hard to fit it all in for us mommies! Thanks or your post and look forward to your reply!!!
Hey Eleanor! It’s tough, isn’t it? I try to go when Mr. Fancy is home. I also will go to a 5:15am class on the days my hubby is home…hard to get up that early, My gym only offers daycare a couple days a week, so, I take Reagan like one day with me. I am working on a post of my workout ideas that you can do at home before the kids wake up/during nap time and i Am hoping to have that up soon! xoxo!
Anthropologie workout clothes seems dangerous in a very good way. Thanks for sharing! Xx.

I am such a sucker for cute workout pants, and from Anthro? I’m in!
Fake=out Clothes. Ha! Love it! Love all the cute anthro finds. I’m in the market for some new running shoes, and you may have just sold me on the zebra nikes!
Oh, I couldn’t agree more on the thick waistband!! I’ve been so tempted to buy a glass water Bottle but I’m so nervous! What if I drop it?! Or, more likely, what if my kids get a hold of it and drop it?!
Hey Kristal! I actually drop mine alllllll the time and have had no issues because of the silicone cover. It protects it! 🙂
Aw man, just when i thought I was stocked up on work out gear…now anthro has cute pants too! Love them, thanks for sharing! I actually posted my faves this week too:)
Hi there,
Did you buy your Bkr water bottles from anthro or their main shop online?
I love everything in this post!! EEKK
thank you!
Hey Nathalia! Both are great! More colors available on the main site, but I love the colors on Anthro’s site! xo!
If you have not yet heard about it check out Fabletics! It’s Kate Hudsons athletic brand clothing. I am totally obsessed and after reading this post I think you would love it because of all the funky cut outs and styles to the fabletics gear.It may not be bright and colorful but it’s sure to make a statement. Check it out at http://www.fabletics.com I literally am telling everyone about it so figured i’d share it with you too. Happy Days, stay fancy!
