I swear my workouts are better when cute clothing is involved. In a post earlier this week, I mentioned that I purchased a new pair of Anthropologie leggings. I had been eyeing the laser-cut beauties (similar here) for quite some time, but couldn’t justify splurging on more workout attire.
Over the Fourth of July weekend that changed. I stopped at the mall to run a few errands and, against my better judgment, I dropped in at Anthropologie (which, if nothing else, gives me great decor ideas!). I have to admit, I dread browsing the sale racks — they’re in the back of the store and the room is usually packed with people grabbing at discounted pieces before your eyes can even comprehend what you’re looking at. But on this trip, I was in no particular hurry. My eyes immediately spotted the grey and coral laser-cut pants, and to my delight, there were two pairs — an x-small and a small. I tried on the x-small and they fit perfectly.
This purchase was one of the highlights of my Fourth of July weekend. I ended up scoring the leggings on sale for under $15. Just this week, I wore them to my kickboxing class and not only did they perform well, but I received tons of compliments.
This just goes to show that patience is a virtue…and it pays off when shopping!
Workouts are always more productive with cute active wear- it’s a fact 😉 Those leggings are really cute!

Thanks, Shveta! I guess I can’t argue with facts, can I? But I happen to agree.
Those leggings are awesome, and only $15!! Such a great find especially at a place like Anthro. I saw a similar pair at Lululemon the other day and I’m pretty sure they were over $100.

They were such a steal, Annessa!
I think I am always more in the mood to workout when I know I have something cute to wear! Thanks for sharing, those leggings are so fun!

I’m the same way, Annie! I was really excited about this workout because I was going to get to debut my new pants.
These leggings are soooo stinkin’ cute!

Thanks, Kathrine! I don’t have patience either (especially when it comes to sale racks), but sometimes it pays off.
Yes! Sometimes a new outfit can be great inspiration to get up and go to the gym. I’m currently lusting over a pair of anthro leggings that I hope make it to the sale rack soon!

Ooooo, I hope they hit that beloved sale rack soon, Alysse. I know how excited I was when I saw my pants on that rack.
I totally agree! When I get new workout clothes, I cannot wait to use them!! Great read!

Hey Vanessa
Those are super cute. I love the pattern down the side. You know if you are purchasing them to write about you can claim them on your taxes! I am thinking about doing the same with my blog!

Thanks so much for the tip! These pants are fun, aren’t they?! I’m loving them — and the fact that I got them on major sale doesn’t hurt either.

It’s so true isn’t it I find I’m buying more active wear then regular clothes now though. Maybe I’m going overboard but I do have to admit nothing is a better motivator for me to get back in the gym than a new pair of compression tights.
