Cold Weather Essentials


You guys…IT’S ALMOST CHRISTMAS but do not worry because today’s sponsored post with Athleta and Shop Style Collective has up to 25% off your entire purchase until 12/18 online at Athleta PLUS order by 12/19 to get delivery by 12/23!

We still have time.

But not much.

I’ve said this so many times before, but it’s absolutely no secret that I love Athleta.  From running to yoga, grocery shopping, driving carpool and even layering up and heading out and about, I wear Athleta every single day of my life (and have been for over 10 years!!!). Right now though, I’m wearing it to be comfy and cute as I wrap presents, watch holiday movies and run around like one of Santa’s elves trying to get ready for the big holiday!  They have so many great items in sizes XXS to 3X!  It’s clothing designed to transition from workout to work to the weekend. I always find that it runs TTS too!

Some days, I have to sit a minute and think of content for my blog, other days…it writes itself.

Just look at my weekend…

Before: Look how cute I am heading out to do my Saturday morning things in my Elation Lasercut Tights and my suuuuper cozy Altitude Polartec Half Zip!  First up, Andrew and I went by the grocery store for coffee and a little food shopping and then, I came home, unpacked the groceries and decided to listen to a podcast and take a nice brisk walk…

During: And when I was the absolute furthest away from my house…the sky opened up and it poured.  Someone had given me grief a few days before about using his Yankees umbrella, so I didn’t take one with me on this walk.  That was clearly the wrong decision.

After: But after, I came home, showered and pulled on my Cozy Karma Asym Pullover and wrapped presents.  When Smith’s violin teacher popped by for a lesson, she told me she had the same pullover but in the color spiced cabernet.  It’s oh so cute and cozy!

This time of year, whether I’m working out, walking the kiddos to/from school or staying toasty at my desk while I work, I have to have my Athleta Cold Weather Essentials.  I pulled together some of my current faves for you since right now, they’re offering up to 25% off your entire purchase until 12/18 PLUS order by 12/19 to get delivery by 12/23!

What will for sure be in my suitcase this trip?

My DOWNTOWN JACKET!!!

I pulled open my phone and just look at how much I’ve already LOVED this jacket so far this fall…

My Downtown Jacket has been the *winning* coat in my closet this season!  I love the weight (not too heavy yet still super warm!), the length, the lined pockets…I love it all!

I wore my SALUTATION TIGHTS for a fun holiday ride on Pelton Monday morning along with my AURORA SEAMLESS TOP and then added my COASTER LUXE V-NECK SWEATSHIRT before and after as I transitioned to the floor in my office to watch The Family Stone and wrap gifts.  #becausewhowantstowrapinjeans #NOTME

      The weather lately has put a wrench in my running plans (so many thunderstorms and heavy rain). I’m still lifting at least two days a week, doing at least one day a week of yoga and then running (or cycling or walking should the mood strike) the other days. I walk the dogs on top of this too.

        Same with weather here!! We have snow! It’s so nice being able to alternate and improvise with Peloton!! I just finished a couple programs too that were fun! The floor Bootcamp one is a combo of 30 min strength/cardio classes! I loved it, and it helped on the days I couldn’t run outside. It’s hard for me to switch things up, so I always like hearing what you do!

    Can you please source Kensington’s grey/light blue puffer jacket in the “Out with my girls” photo? Thank you!

    Difference between Athleta and Vuori? Each time you post about one, I think I’ll get something bc it’s your favorite and then the next thing you know you post about the other brand and that one is your favorite too! 🙂 Obviously, they are both great brands! If you had to choose one, which would it be?

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I really love both! Andrew, obviously, loves Vuori and wears it every single day. I would say I typically wear a nice mix of both. In my opinion, they both run TTS, wash and dry perfectly and last forever. I know they can both be a bit pricey, but they don’t fade, don’t shrink and always hold their shape. I have pieces from both that are YEARS old. I think I tend to workout more in Athleta because they have more options/colors/pieces plus swimsuits and great running shorts, but I wear more Vuori to my kids’ sporting events, watching football on a Sunday, running errands as the pieces are more neutral in color, soft and cozy. Honestly though, they all go in the same drawer and complement, so most days, it’s a mix. I just looked at the picture Andrew took of me last week in the rain holding the Yankees umbrella…I have on Athleta tights and a Vuori jacket. That sums me up.

    I’m so confused. You say you wear Athleta every single day, yet I know I’ve heard you say the exact same about Vuori. So are you changing clothes often or did I miss something?

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Nope, I wear them both every single day. I don’t always wear one brand head to toe. Right this very second, I’m about to go workout and my tank is Vuori and my leggings are Athleta.

    Hi! Can you link your cute black snow boots from the “on vacation” look that are also in your current profile picture! Thanks!

  13. Wendy Charves says

    Was the white half zip sweatshirt you had on in yesterdays post also Athleta? If not, would you share the link for that one ? Thank you.
