Well hello summer people. Hoping this blog post finds you sinking into the slower pace of my favorite season. I’ve been loving every hot muggy second. And I am thrilled to report I’ve found extra time to get “back on the mat”! After a few injuries I took some time away from yoga and didn’t realize how much I had missed it. It is in my opinion the absolute best way to stretch out the body and strengthen the core. The hour and a quarter I spend in class really releases stress and grounds me.
I try and keep my eyes on my own mat, but recently I’ve noticed a few great outfits when walking in. It reminded me I needed to add a few new pieces to my very old workout clothes collection. In class I ran into my great friend and talented stylist Janel Alexander. I featured her here and here. Janel is also a yoga teacher and her yoga game is strong. Her outfits are always off the charts fun and unique too. She was kind enough to create a list of her favorite pieces. The pieces themselves are fabulous, but the brands are good to know too.
- Carbon 38 Hoodie – On a warmer day when you want to layer over your tank.
- The Upside Tank – Kind of over the suburban housewife ironic logo tees, but this is one I can still get behind. 😉
- Free People Legging – A high waisted exercise pant that will elongate your bottom half? Yes please!
- Tibi Silk Jacket – Just one piece can transform your whole day from athleisure to super chic. On SALE too!
- Malia Mills Track Pant – The best workout, travel, day/night pant. Side zips and high waist.
- Lavaloka Python Pants – Snakeskin always adds a little funk to your look.
- Onzie Bra and Pants – Great combo!
- Onzie Layering Tank – Perfect over the flower bra and pants! (Matches with everything too!)
- Nike Sneaker – Pastels are in, and not just in ready-to-wear. A light colored shoe (see image below) is much less heavy and elongating than a dark sneaker.
- Live The Process Bodysuit – And if you are really feeling bold – this bodysuit (image 2 below) makes quite the statement.
