New workout gear!

I recently went to the gym with my hubby and I swear every girl looked adorable with the exception of myself.  Now don't get me wrong I know that going to the gym isn't supposed to be a fashion show, but let's be honest these days it kind of is.  There are so many amazing active wear brands today between Lulu LemonAthleta , and even places like Old Navy, and one of my all time fav's Target especially for when we are on a budget. 

I played volleyball in college and everyday at practice and while on the road we had our same uniform on.  Spandex and a t-shirt with our school logo.  I think I got so used to wearing the same old outfit everyday that wasn't that cute and am now just realizing that I feel a bit more motivated and excited to go to the gym when I wear something fun.

Behavioral retargeting (google it lol) has gotten the best of me through social media.  Have you guys ever noticed that when shopping online you may put a few things in your cart, but never actually checkout and somehow days later when browsing through Facebook the shoes you had you eyes on are popping up as an ad on your Facebook?  That's retargeting.  Well, it works... the other day I saw that HM launched a new active wear line and I got suckered in.  The style is a bit retro, but they have some funky leggings which I have been in the market for and immediately filled my cart with their new leggings. 

They finally arrived in the mail this past weekend and I decided to rock them in my cardio dance class this morning.  Not only did my hubs compliment them before I walked out the door, but for the first time ever I received a few compliments at the gym on the gear I was wearing. 

So, I wasn't sure what to think about HM active wear because I sweat hard and the gym and didn't know how they would hold up and they were awesome!  I have long legs and they stretched well and absorbed my sweat great!  Price point it good and I felt cute so it was a score in my book!

Here is where you can score these puppies!
