Exercise or Accessorize?

If you’re anything like me 9/10 times times you’re not wearing your yoga pants to the gym. I love that I can get away with a sporty look when I’m just running errands or of course when I really am going to a yoga class. The only problem is that it’s hard to find good quality workout clothes that won’t break the bank. 

Here are some recent favorite finds of mine:

The Nikes are from Nordstrom Rack- they have a great assortment of different colors. Kohl’s also has a great selection of Nikes and you can always find a coupon (or use your Kohls Cash).

The hoodie is from Burlington for $10! Super comfy, great to lounge in and I usually wear it over a tank top to a yoga class so I can easily take it off if I’m too hot. 

This outfit was definitely for running errands since I threw a cardigan and scarf over it. The leggings are from Target- they have high quality leggings and you can usually find a pair on sale.

The leggings are from Marshall’s. My favorite brand of yoga clothes there are Yogo. 

Happy Shopping (and lounging)! 
XOXO,
Gina Nicolette
