Athleisure I am Living For
Can you believe that it has been an entire year since COVID lockdowns started happening?? It seems like it was just yesterday that I hoped I would get to “work from home” for at least two weeks. HA! If only I had known then just how long I would be getting to work from home.
I am so happy that numbers are going down consistently, and that we as a world are starting to get a better grasp on this virus. I think this pandemic has brought many realizations about for many people. I have found new hobbies that I never would have had I not been home so much. I had a lot more time to internalize and do some self reflection. I was able to slow down for once in my life and come up with a plan for launching this new blog. And of course, I realized that my work clothes and heels aren’t nearly as comfortable as athletic wear that I stay in nonstop nowadays!
During COVID, I had a career change. Because of the pandemic, almost all of my interviews were conducted virtually. Once I was hired, my training was all virtual. Today, a lot of my meetings are STILL virtual. With the world changing so much due to COVID, I think it’s appropriate to reintroduce “mullets” motto of business in the front, party in the back as the new work wear motto. “Business on the top, party on the bottom” :)
Whether you are working from home and need a professional top, but comfy stretchy bottoms, or working out, here are some of my athleisure faves that I am LOVING.
Lululemon Define Jacket: Just worked out and need to go somewhere? No problem, throw this jacket on over your sweaty clothes and roll with it. Super comfy, super versatile. I have a couple of these jackets and throw them over any and everything to get out and run errands in. Also perfect for a chilly morning walk, when you know you’ll be cold at first but not for long! This light weight jacket is made to be shed and tied around your waist!
Lululemon Align Leggings: hands down worth every. single. Penny. I have lived in these! I have multiple black pairs so I can keep wearing them throughout the week!
Nike Air Max 270: such comfy tennies! These are great to workout in, or just to wear around the house and out on errands. They have great support and feel like walking on a cloud!
Athleta Coastal Luxe Sweatshirt: Words cannot describe how soft this sweatshirt is! Although I would not wear this to workout in, it is PERFECT to wear to be comfy and lounge in. One of the best parts about this sweatshirt is the split sides, with the longer back. This makes it perfect to wear over leggings if you are self conscious of your booty. This shirt is the perfect length to cover it :)
Lululemon Align tank: love love love this tank top! It has built in bra pads, making it easy to throw on and go. Its like a sports bra and a cropped tank all in one. What could be better??
