Fitness Fashion Friday's

I thought I would have a little fun on Friday's by bringing you some fashion tips as it's very important to look good when you're working out.  You don't want to be going to the gym in ripped up t-shirts or shorts; you want to look presentable.  It's like working at the office.  You wouldn't show up with a torn pocket on your suit or slacks that are too big they are falling off of your hips.  The same is true for the gym.  What you wear creates a statement and identifies who you are.  If you're looking sharp in the office but then when it's time to hit the gym you dress in sloppy clothing, the image you are portraying is that you don't know who you are or that you don't care.  It may be very comfortable to wear the t-shirt you have had for 10 years, but what your showcasing, is that you're stuck in the past and you don't take care of yourself.  Image says a lot without you even having to speak.  


Every Friday will be devoted to fashion since it's one of my loves.  I will showcase high end and low end lines to accommodate everyone's budget.  There are so many great stores and fashion lines to choose from when it comes to fitness.  Hopefully, Fitness Fashion Friday's will give you insight that there really are beautiful pieces (and name brand) at every price point.  Lululemon, does not have to be a staple in your wardrobe.
