Affordable Workout Gear: Old Navy

Well, hello there! It's been a while, hasn't it? If anyone has a great way to balance night shift nursing, a social life, AND running a blog...be sure to let me know!

I've missed this though, and just had to return! I've become the person in my friends' lives that always lets them know about sales, or the places to get the best deals, and definitely wanted to bring that into the blog. I always feel triumphant went I get a great deal! 

Today, we're talking affordable workout gear. As amazing as Lululemon is, it's definitely not the most affordable option. Enter Old Navy. They have AMAZING workout clothes! I've been getting workout gear from there since college, and I still have those pieces today. Great quality, and a great price point. You just can't beat that. PLUS, Old Navy is one of those stores that always have sales going on. Just....yes. Check out some of my favorite pieces below...

Which piece is a win for you?

Red Bell Sleeves

I am all about the bell sleeves, guys. It's such a fun addition to any top or sweater or dress! And when there's a bow on that top too? I'm sold. I dressed it down here for a day of running around town, but I could easily see it paired with a slim black pant and some amazing heels!

Gingham and Loafers

I am someone who absolutely loves fall. Bring on pumpkin treats and Halloween fun! The only problem is when it is the middle of October and we're still having days where it is way too hot to be wearing pants, let alone a sweater. So this is the outfit I turn to during those days. I still try to bring in elements of fall dressing (loafers, black gingham, scarf), without overheating the moment I step outside. I am loving the neck scarf trend way more than I ever thought I would, and definitely want to continue it into sweater season. Also, these loafers are seriously the most comfortable pair I've ever owned. WIN.

How do you dress for fall when it is still so warm outside?

Marley Lilly Monograms

In case you haven't already figured out, I have a serious love of monograms! And Marley Lilly is basically THE place to go for monograms. I mean, you can get pretty much anything monogrammed in their store, and you're for sure going to love it! I recently got sent this fleece vest and adorable necklace, and I was in love immediately. The necklace is the perfect size to be an everyday necklace, and that vest is just seriously cozy. And they're monogrammed, so what could be better? ;)

plaid and leather

This leather skirt has been a favorite of mine for a couple of years now, and when I got this plaid shirt from Old Navy, I knew I wanted to wear them together. Add in my new favorite black leather booties, and I was set for a day with my man...well, my very large, scarecrow man ;)

windowpane flannel

It's safe to say that Old Navy seems to have the best selection of plaid flannels every fall. And when I saw that they had a windowpane flannel this year, I jumped on it so quickly!
