Work It Out: Clothing


I'm quite particular about my workout clothing, because I don't really buy a lot of it, and I want it to last. Comfort is also a huge factor, and I'm definitely not the girl at the gym who has the perfectly coordinated outfit.

So, without further ado,

Running Tops:: I'm really bad and wear regular tshirts/tank tops, but I also like Nike Shirts.

Sports Bras:: C9 from Target. I swear by them.

Running Shorts:: Norts. 

Socks:: I get Nike Calf socks as well as Asics socks from my running store.

Running Shoes::
Right now I'm running in the Brooks Ghost 5 and I love them. They're amazing. However, since I'm out of the stage of playing competitive sports and will just be using them for the gym and occasional run outside, I'm also looking at Nike Free's.

Leggings:: Lululemon Wunder Under. They are my new Tempo's.

Workout Tops:: I have some from Nike and a few from Target. You can't go wrong with a racerback and a cute color.

Where do you get your workout clothes?

This week I was lucky enough to be nominated not once for the Liebster award, but twice! Many thanks to Sarah at Too Much is Never Enough and Hannah at The Pink and Green Prep for nominating me!

What the Liebster Award is: "Liebster" is a German word meaning kind, sweet, or generous.

Once nominated by another blogger, the blogger has to answer a set of questions asked to them by the person who nominated them, and then pass it on to other blogs they think would deserve the award if they chose to do so!

Also in the post, you should thank whoever nominated you and attach a link of their blog, out of courtesy.

Friday Five

1. Last night, I went to country night at my spin studio. There's something wonderful about exercise + country music that I will never quite be able to put my finger on.

2. Possible internship opportunities this summer = an excuse to scroll through pages of Talbots, Brooks Brothers, and J. Crew suits. Yes please.

3. I have watched all 13 episodes of House of Cards in three days. Yes, I'm completely obsessed, and no, I have no shame. I'm also pretty sure that Season Two hasn't even begun filming yet. Probably time to start bawling my eyes out watching The West Wing.

4. This has been probably the most relaxing week of my life. I've woken up at nine or ten everyday, actually sat and eaten breakfast, and worked on everything I need to work on read three books.

5. How I feel Monday morning is going to be:
