I was stopped in my tracks by Reformation’s recent “active collection” launch. I am loving the monochromatic looks (seen above) and particularly drawn to a head-to-toe dusty pink situation with these leggings and this sports bra, finished with a boxy (inexpensive) coordinated sweatshirt like this! (I’ll take the Chanel sneakers, too.) These high-rise bike shorts even turned my head, though I’m still partially scarred by the pair I bought and promptly returned last summer — I am super short and the proportions just looked wrong on me. (What’s a shortie to do?).

I’m also planning to buy some running shorts from Tracksmith. I have lived in their merino base layers and leggings when it is really cold outside and they just work. (Sizing note: this brand runs small and long. I am 5’0 and 100 lbs and I take a small in the leggings and an xs in the tops. The leggings are a good four inches too long but that doesn’t bother me in winter because I tuck my leggings into socks anyway.)

A few other fitness scores I’m eyeing:

THIS DRI-FIT TEE IN PEONY PINK

PAIRED WITH THESE COLORBLOCKED SHORTS

THIS SAGE GREEN PULLOVER

THESE FLORAL SOCKS

LULULEMON SHORTS – ON SALE

THIS CROPPED CHAMPION TEE + HIGH-RISE BLACK LEGGINGS (<<STILL MY FAVORITE AFFORDABLE LEGGINGS) DELIVER MAJOR ROCKY-IN-TRAINING VIBES AND I’M HERE FOR IT

AND THESE SHORTS IN THE HEATHER GRAY ($30) SERVE UP THROWBACK GYM VIBES I’M INTO

FOR IN-BETWEEN WEATHER DAYS, I LIKE SIMPLE COTTON LONG-SLEEVED TEES LIKE THIS

I PREFER LOOSE-FIT TANKS WHEN RUNNING AND HAVE HAD REALLY GOOD LUCK WITH TARGET’S AFFORDABLE STYLES (<<COMES IN GREAT COLORS LIKE MINT AND ROSE)

PRETTY FLORAL PRINT SPORTS BRA (ON SALE)

CROPPED TANKS FROM LULULEMON (IN ITS COVETED ALIGN FABRIC) AND EVERYONE’S FAVORITE ALO

OR GET THE LOOK FOR LESS WITH THIS $20 STYLE IN GREAT ON-TREND COLORS

STILL LOVE BOTH THE NIKE INFINITY REACT AND THE APL TECHLOOM (GREAT COLORS, VERY LIGHTWEIGHT), BUT YOU CAN GET THE LOOK FOR LESS WITH THIS STYLE FROM A NEW-TO-ME BRAND

LOVE A STRIPPED-DOWN CHAMPION HAT TO RUN IN (GRAY IS COOL)

SPLITS 59 SPORTS BRAS — LOVE THE SLIM STRAPS

STILL NOT OVER THIS HEAD-TO-TOE BLUE LOOK

WOULD LOOK SUPER CUTE WITH THIS GREAT HOODIE IN PASTEL BLUE FOR UNDER $20

IN THE SAME COLOR: THIS UNDER-$20 TANK

OMG – THIS RUFFLE-TOP TANK (OR THIS ONE) FOR SOMETHING LIKE BARRE OR PILATES

THE LATTER BRINGS TO MIND MY FAVORITE RUFFLE-TRIM SWEATSUIT!

P.S. H&M has some fitness leggings for expecting mamas for under $30.

P.P.S. What do you think about when you exercise? Do you ever hit the “flow” point?

P.P.P.S. Do you maintain any hobbies?
