Athleisure is a trend that’s been going strong the last few spring seasons, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere anytime soon. I feel like it started with leggings worn as casual wear for everyday use and now the trend has morphed into something much more encompassing. Sweat pants, and especially joggers, are commonplace whether you’re working out or running to the store. They’re even made to look “dressed-up” in a variety of prints and fabrics. Athleisure is a popular trend because, by and large, it’s a comfortable one. Stretchy yoga pants are a better bet for brunch than your skin tight jeans. Not to mention there’s a true convenience in heading from the gym to an appointment without a second thought.

PLUS if I want to get glammed up and wear lipstick, it draws even more attention to the problem. And that’s just the superficial side of things – I’m not even addressing all the pain and discomfort at this point!

Casual Cool Sweater Dress Style
Winter is for sweater dresses. At least that’s my motto. So of course I own lots of them, and every fall I like to invest in one or two new ones. This past year I had to wait it out because LO was born in September, and although I was dying to shop right away, things didn’t fit quite right. So this cozy Free People sweater dress was a more recent find, and to my delight I got it for a fabulous price. You guys know how I love sales!
