Even before I became obsessed with working out, I was obsessed with workout clothing. At the end of my senior year, you know the point where you don’t care about anything at all anymore, yoga pants went from a once a week thing to a nearly every day thing. Please note: I own multiple pairs of yoga pants.
I just like the athletic look. Yoga pants, cute little sweat proof tank top, and an athletic jacket, with my newest sneakers (usually decorated with some sort of pink accent) complete the comfortable sporty look.
So now that I’ve actually been working out, instead of just dressing like I do, my obsession is justified. I can walk to class dressed like I’m going to the gym because I actually will be going to the gym after class, not because I am too lazy to get dressed in jeans and a nice shirt in the morning.
It also means I can rationalize buying (or getting someone to buy for me) new workout attire. At Christmas time, when I told my parents I wanted a gym membership, I also convinced my mom to stop at Dick’s Sporting Goods on a pre-Christmas shopping trip. We raided the sales racks while I chimed in, “You can give it to me for Christmas!” The neon shirts and tanks filled our cart and I wasn’t completely surprised Christmas morning.
The new workout clothes are helpful when I’m running to (and at) the gym every day. The clothes even make working out a little bit more fun when I can get excited about what I’m going to wear to the gym (or class) later that day.
I mean; a girl has still got to look cute right?
Confession time: my clothes have to match or at least "go" every time I go run or work out.
ReplyDeleteHaha now I feel like such a loser. Whenever I head to the gym, I really dont think twice about what I wear. Yesterday i think i wore a purple shirt and red shorts... I should probably at least attempt to match next time.
