Pushups, Pasta, & Pinot Grigio

Oh boy, does anyone else feel like it should be at least Wednesday? If you read this post from Sunday, you’ll remember I wrote about getting ahead of your Monday blues with tips and tricks to help make the beginning of the week feel a little less, blah.

So that’s all fine and dandy, I got a good night’s sleep on Sunday night, did a short Monday morning workout, had on a cute outfit, and then I get to work, pull my heels out of my bag to put on for the day, and saw this…

Oh, Monday, you got me again. The good news is I did manage to dress myself like an adult today, so…there’s that.

Anyway! After I wore these Fabletics pants during my half marathon 2 weekends ago, I got questions from a few of you about how the company works, so I thought I’d share my experience so far!

If you’re like me, you can always use new workout clothes, so after seeing a Fabletics ad on Facebook, I decided to check it out.

Fabletics is basically an online athletic clothing shopping club. As a VIP Member you are enrolled in a monthly program after your first purchase. Stylists will send you a virtual preview of outfit selections for upcoming month (based on a short quiz you take), and you’ll have the option to purchase anything you like.

You can review your outfits by a set deadline and decide to “opt out” of that month. If you don’t purchase anything but also don’t opt out by the deadline, you’ll be charged $49.95 for that month. However, it doesn’t mean you have to purchase anything on the spot, you can accumulate a balance and purchase whenever something strikes your fancy.

I was hooked because they gave me a serious discount for my first purchase. I chose these workout pants and a plum colored long sleeve top. My subtotal was $59.95 – but with the discount, I received both of these for a total of $17.99! Yes please!

I have yet to wear the shirt, although I did try it on and found it super soft and cozy. The pants were fantastic as well, very stretchy without being too tight. My half marathon was the first time I wore them, and that could have been a very poor decision, but they were just as (if not more) comfortable than any other pair I own!

We’ll see what my future with Fabletics is. I think I will skip October, just because I don’t need anything else at the moment, but that doesn’t mean I won’t “window shop” for future months!

Buying new clothes means I have no excuses to skip my workouts right? Here’s a fun workout to help get you through the day!
