Cute Spring Activewear and a Giveaway

March 8, 2021

Spring is finally almost here and it’s time to update your activewear! I found some cute spring activewear from several shops to share with you. I know I like to get something new for each season to freshen up my workout wardrobe and it also feels good when you have something new to wear.

AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE: This post contains affiliate links. I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.

Capris and Leggings

I don’t switch from my fleece lined running tights to running shorts immediately as the seasons change. I need to warm up to it. So I prefer to wear capris for a little bit. A lot of this also depends on the weather we have in New England. Some years we go from winter to a hot spring. But this year we are still experiencing brisk temperatures.

Old Navy is my main store to shop for activewear. Their capris and leggings have a high and thick waistband that doesn’t fold over when I am running or doing other workouts like yoga or weight training. I am working on getting rid of my muffin top, so I need a little extra compression around my waist to keep everything tucked in.

I like to shop from Old Navy, Athleta and Target for my activewear. These are some of the items I recommend:

High-Waisted Elevate Powersoft Side-Pocket Crop Leggings for Women from Old Navy
These are great because of their compression and they have a side pocket

High-Waisted Elevate Powersoft Side-Pocket Crop Leggings for Women from Old Navy

Women’s Sculpted High-Waisted Capri Leggings 21″ from Target
Must-have features: single loop drawstring, side pockets, flat seams, UPF 50+ material

I also wanted to point out that I prefer to get darker colors or patterns to hide the sweat marks that happen from running. When you select a lighter color it tends to show, and it’s not a very flattering look.

Running Shorts

I do like to run with shorts; but I don’t like the jogging shorts that bunch up at my thighs and irritate my legs when I am running. Biking shorts solve that problem for me. Sometimes, I also wear a pair of them under jogging shorts.

Here are a few that I find comfortable to wear for running.

Biker shorts with 8″ inseam and side pocket from Old Navy

Women’s Sculpted Linear High-Waisted Bike Shorts 7″ from Target
Must-have features: side stash pockets, flat seams, UPF 50+ rating, full waistband elastic, quick-dry finish

Workout Tops

Workout clothes do tend to end up with a smell over time. Even when you wash them with the special detergents. That’s why it is good to get rid of the old and bring in some new pieces each season. Freshen things up. I prefer tank tops for running and doing weight training. The more lightweight the better. I also don’t like mine tight fitting.

Here are a few I found from Target and Old Navy:

Women’s Essential Racerback Tank Top – All in Motion™
This top just $12 at the time of this blog post. That’s a great price to get a few different colors!

UltraLite Jersey Mesh-Trim Shirttail-Hem Tank Top for Women from Old Navy – just $12!

I would love this top to wear to yoga. It’s reversible to show the twist/wrap in the back or the front. It’s so cute and I love the bright blue color. It also comes in Black and a Cocoa Mocha color. You can also purchase it as a set with jogger pants. This top is $32 from Target.Women’s Reversible French Terry Pullover Sweatshirt- JoyLab™

Sports Bra

One of the first things I like to get is a new sports bra. It’s important to get them because they really take a beating over time and the fabric loses its support. They wear out just like your shoes do!

For running, I highly recommend a zip front sports bra. I don’t know about you; but I hate the feeling of panic that overcomes me when I am trying to escape from my sweaty sports bra after a long sweaty run or workout. The zip front makes putting on, and taking off, the bra much easier. It’s also a full coverage sports bra to help protect your breast tissue from the bouncing from running or a high intensity workout.

Women’s High Support Mesh Back Zip-Front Bra – All in Motion™ from Target
This model is wearing size 34B and is 5’9″.
Features of this bra include: zip-front design, front hook, adjustable front straps, padded cups

For my weight training or yoga workouts, I like the look of the strappy sports bras like this one:

Women’s Light Support Multistrap Longline Bra – All in Motion™ from Target

Athleta carries good high support sports bras in all sizes with and without the front zipper. I like this hustle high support bra:

Hustle Bra B-DD from Athleta

This is definitely going into my shopping cart. I like the design of the criss cross straps in the back for support; and I especially love the purple color.

High Support Cross-Back Sports Bra for Women from Old Navy

Rose Gold Initial Necklace From Sincerely Silver

August 9, 2019

Rose gold is all the rage right now. So are jewelry pieces with initials. But I have been in love with rose gold since Disney created rose gold Minnie Mouse ears two years ago! Lots of jewelry is now being created in rose gold and I can’t get enough of it! I recently received a rose gold initial necklace from Sincerely Silver and I love it! You can enter to win a piece of your own by participating in the giveaway below.

Sincerely Silver Initial Necklaces

Sincerely Silver sent me a beautiful rose gold necklace with my initial on it in rose gold, but you can purchase their jewelry in several other colors. They also have several varieties of initial necklaces. You don’t just need to order the disk style.

You can order a necklace with your initial engraved onto a bar or disc, or a circle initial cutout necklace. I personally also love the lariat necklace. The initial necklaces are so versatile, you can wear them alone or pair them with other necklaces. Now that I have mine, I may want to order an additional one.

You don’t just have to use your own initial. You can be creative and order one to represent other important people, places or things in your life.

Your child’s/children’s
Your spouse’s first initial
The first letter of your family name
Your parents’ initials
Initials of a meaningful location to you
The initials of a loved one who passed away
Your pet’s initial

Metals they offer

Sincerely Silver offers more than just rose gold., they have several other finishes for their jewelry.

Who Is Sincerely Silver?

Sincerely Silver offers more than just initial necklaces. They have a large variety of jewelry to select from. Their selection of products are perfect for bridesmaid gifts, anniversary gifts, graduation gifts, Mother’s Day, birthdays, and more!

What I love about this company is their message. They believe that being a woman today means that you can be respected for your ideas, you shouldn’t be limited by your gender status, not being devalued just because we are women. They also believe in being whoever you want to be without limitation. I couldn’t agree more!

Sincerely Silver offers the following beautiful items:

I am definitely going to include Sincerely Silver pieces for my next gift guide for the holidays! These would make great gifts to give to your special someone as they go off to college this fall.
