Outfit of the Day Inspiration: 05/02/2012

WEDNESDAY: Disguised Workout Clothes!

We all have those days: you know you’re going straight to the gym after class or you just don’t feel like putting together an outfit when you wake up.  Especially during finals week, it can be super difficult to find time for fitness, yet if you are already dressed to go, it can be a lot easier to fit it in between other obligations.  Fortunately, there are ways to put together cute yet functional pieces that are both classroom appropriate and elliptical-ready!

Outfit #1: Cute workout pants!
Proof that exercise capris can look stylish in public!  Take your favorite pair and start with a sports bra and your workout top under a feminine, loose shirt or sweater.  This way, when you get to the gym you can just shed the top layer and be dressed to go!  A fedora hat and long, pretty necklaces add fashion points, while summery sandals keep it casual.  Pack your socks and running shoes in your school bag, or just wear them with the rest of the outfit for a sportier vibe.

Outfit #2: Urban Workout!
A little more grunge and a tad more tomboy, this look takes the same principles of outfit #1 and puts a different spin on it.  Take ankle length black workout pants or leggings and your coolest over-sized gym shirt and pair them under a loose denim jacket.  Add some funky jewelry and sneakers, and you’ll look put together enough to even rock a messy bun to class!

Hailing from eastern Washington, Julia attends the University of Portland in Oregon, as a Communication Studies major with an emphasis on Journalism. As a magazine and book junkie, Julia reads everything (and anything) she can get her hands on, especially those passionate on young adult culture and entertainment. A woman that gets stir-crazy easily, Julia has been fortunate to have traveled many summers in a row to foreign countries, including a study abroad course in Austria, Germany, and Great Britain. Since a ripe age, she has grown and cultivated her passion and dream of working for a magazine and spreading awareness as well as happiness through the tips of her fingers. Always finding time for herself, Julia can frequently be found quoting movie lines (most frequently Will Ferrell or Vince Vaughn), having a 90's dance party with her roommates, or rereading "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" for the 40th time.
