Like every other occasion in my life, I like to be well dressed or 'prepared' for the gym.
About 4 months ago I took the plunge and got myself a gym membership
- and a naturally a new workout wardrobe to go with!
I literally signed up for the gym, and then drove directly to my nearest Rebel Sports to start shopping!
To say I was overwhelmed with the choices would be an understatement. So many colours, styles, fabrics, I didn't know where to start or what I really needed!!
So I decided to do some research! The first thing I learn't was that like in the fashion world, label is everything & that most 'gymies' have a go to brand. Lorna Jane as I discovered is like the designer label of women workout gear, with bright colours, cute crop tops and in my opinion a slightly higher price tag just for shits & gigs . However I had always been a nike girl for sports shoes so decided I would stray from the pack and stick with the Just Do It crew.
The second thing, and most important tip I learnt was to develop a colour scheme!!
I quickly discovered that there was nothing more irritating then getting ready for the gym (running late as always) only to find that a pair of fluro pink shorts and a red tank are your only clean options!!
So in true OCD Jessie style I ditched the bright colours and stuck with a clean black & white -with the occasional hint of grey marle, colour scheme! As crazy and over the top as it might sound, it made a world of difference in shopping for new gym pieces as well as getting ready in a rush! Everything matches and I look like a walking Nike advert (minus the abs!). Also, having such a strict workout shopping plan has saved me money & time! The girls at the Nike store literally have my number on speed dial to call soon as new monochrome pieces arrive!! Its great, especially when I can give them a heads up on what Im looking for!
