I'm a workout clothing junkie, nothing wrong with it. I'm needing to get new capris after a pair recently bit the dust but I'm not in the mood to pay a lot for my fav Nike style. What all did you get?

three new sleeveless tops, one that's lower cut in the back like hey back muscles! Two are looser fitting for I'm thinking running/yardwork type stuff. Two sports bras but one will go back.....basically trying to figure which would work better with these lower-backed tops and ehrm, be appropriate for chilliness. So far both are good fit wise so 8 inches of bra doesn't hang out, but fail on chilly :skeptical: I'm kinda going through a transition of my original workout tops from a few years ago getting too shrinky/frumpy cause I didn't want anything more slim fitting at the time. So I've gotten rid of some to replace with more fun ones.

then a pair of those legging type things from Nike and what was supposed to be a capri pair that I'm returning. I love, love, love the one that I have so when I had the 16%, I'm like sweet, let's get these before they change the style next year and I never get them again. So now I just reordered the correct capri pair.

And then two maxi skirts and two tank tops. Never had a maxi skirt today but the 10 minutes I had it one was quite pleasant. I sound like a clothes horse but it wasn't too bad after all the discounting. And the fact that other than a better sports bra and another pair of shorts, I'm pretty much good unless I get pregnant. Which I suppose the looser tops work for. And maxi skirts. Seriously, every preggo woman at work is in those right now.

That's like, way more detail than you asked for, ha.


What capri style is the one you like?

CG was talking about Nippin out there, in case anybody was wondering.

You're welcome, WDSM.

The nike legend capris. I had picked up a few pairs in the outlet south of Minneapolis a few years ago, and one pair bit the dust a few weeks ago. They do wonderful things for a booty though, and I love the thicker waist band.

Do you ever shop on 6pm.com? That's becoming my go to for getting deals on workout clothes. I also have a minor lululemon obsession but it's hard for me to justify the cost unless it's something I totally love.

I think mine were the 2.0 or something, I have no idea. The ones I got were loose at the knee which is bad, bad, bad for me. The ones I wanted are tight on the whole leg. So whatever that one is. DH agrees about the booty assisting. I've seen that site for shoes but never looked beyond that. I will maybe take a peek.

Wait, what am I doing, this is the important view:

now what I need is a nice pair of flip-flops. Broke my good pair in Jamaica and the older ones bit the dust there to. Sigh. I was like "screw it" since it was November but now I need flip flops again.
 
I am literally wearing those pants right now. That's why I needed a 2nd. I turned the first into pajama/off work pants.
 
And CG, 55...I'll gladly give you my wife's facebook info if you promise to talk to her about the joys of wearing leggings and yoga pants constantly.

Oh, yeah, Mrs. 00clone wore yoga pants to the trampoline park today...

:yes::yes:

And...even if you don't wanna spend that much on fabletics yoga pants or tops, their underwear are phenomenal at no lines:

Reading that long of a post from a woman talking about clothes? You're a better man than I, pants.

One of my many redeeming qualities. I once went on a date with a girl that talked about her shoe blog for the entire 5 hour date. And still made it seem like I cared. Was the only date we went on, but still. Shame too, she was way out of my league in the looks department but you've got to be able to talk to me about more than just your shoes.

I also think I was able to seal the deal of my promotion at my last job solely based on my ability to have a generic conversation with the VP about her Coach purse.

These seem like silly things, but they CAN make a world of difference.
