West Coast Wives

I recently scored in a pretty major way my weight in Forever 21 shwag while online shopping and figured it would be rather rude of me not to share since y'all were so sweet when I posted this guy a while back. Not only did I clean up in the active-wear department, I stumbled upon accessories and swimwear and kind of lost my marbles. I received my shipment last Thursday (aka Christmas in May) and while a couple items had to kick rocks back to whence they came, the majority made the cut and those items are....

ACTIVEWEAR (TOPS):

I got the braided back tank in 79 (or 3) colors because it is SOOOOO comfy and basically my new favorite. Tip- size up (I got a large) if you want the whole loosey goosey side boobage look.

ACTIVEWEAR (BOTTOMS & BRAS):

As we all know, I love me some bralette detailing, and these sports bras include everything I dig about about my upgraded training bras and are also sweat-apropos.

SWIMWEAR:

So I can't attest to how these bikinis hold up, but I can say they fit so well that I don't really care.

ACCESSORIES:

Just in case you hadn't heard, let me save you from a Britney moment and tell ya that this is the season of comeback accessories. We are talking chokers, toe rings, and anklets people!!! This WCW couldn't be happier about it.

Don't let me be the last to know... about late 90s/early 00s accessory come-backs

MISC:

Neutral love and bodysuit obsessions still going strong...

Happy shopping!!!

When you work out as much as I do (a WCW prerequisite) your workout wardrobe begins to take on a life of it's own. There are many elements to consider when picking out your fitness fashion story- will I find myself in positions that could potentially display my vadge or be conducive to camel-toe? Will I be likely to sweat, not in a 'getting-my-cardio-on' chic way, but in a 'this-plank-is-making-me-drip-like-an-obese' way? Will I really be working out, or just actually want to be comfy and APPEAR to be heading to/from some fitness fun? This is when you have to make wise choices and pick: leggings versus shorts, a dark colored top versus light, or rock that neon legging/off the shoulder/caged sports bra/cute sneaker combo.

When it comes to my own personal collection, of course I've got my Lulu and Lorna staples. I live and die by my Speed Shorts and have been known to incorporate my Amy Tights into an office OOTD. I love Nike, Alo, and Zella all day every day.

But can I just take a sec and officially go on the record to say F21 has stepped up their activewear offerings like whoa??? They are blowing my mind these days with their selection, fashion, and price points (duh).

I can't even count how many times I get asked where my F21 workout top/bottoms are from. Church. I don't even feel shame when I proclaim "they're FOREVER 21!!!!" because a). I'm not that bougie and b). I secretly and selfishly hope the more chicks buy their activewear the more they'll make.

Here are some of my current faves, many of which I already own & luv:
