It’s BLACK FRIDAY, friends!
Today, I’m partnering with MY VERY FAVORITE BRAND E-V-E-R here in blog world…ATHLETA for a bonus BLACK FRIDAY post because right now you can get 30% Off Purchase + Daily Doorbusters (11/23-11/26), plus today only: $69 Rainier Bottoms!
From running to yoga, grocery shopping, driving carpool and even layering up and heading out and about, I wear something from Athleta every single day of my life (and have been for over 10 years!!!). For years and years now, whether I’m working out, walking the dogs, playing with my kids, on the slopes, sitting all cute and comfy at my desk, driving carpool, heading to my kids’ sporting events…something Athleta has been a part of my day.
They have so many great items in sizes XXS to 3X, so it’s designed not just for me, but for all of us! It’s clothing designed to transition from workout to work to the weekend. I always find that it runs TTS too!
I’m keeping things really simple today, and in honor of Black Friday and 30% Off Purchase, I rounded up some of my favorites for your HOLIDAY SEASON (all 30% off between now and the 26th!)…
#1: COZY KARMA TWIST NECK SWEATSHIRT
I’ve already ordered this today in BLACK! This sweatshirt comes in several other colors, and I’m so excited for it to arrive because I know it will look cute both for working out and heading out.
This tank is such an all-purpose power player. It works well for running (it doesn’t ride up), yoga, layering…it does it all. I have this tank in black, but it also comes in 17 other colors. That’s right SEVENTEEN other colors. Might leggings here are the RAINER TIGHTS which are only $69 today!
What’s the difference between RAINER TIGHTS and the SALUTATION STASH TIGHT? In my opinion, the SALUTATION STASH TIGHT are the tights I wear for yoga as they’re buttery soft, very light, and so moveable. I also love wearing them out and out with sweaters/sweatshirts as leggings since they’re pretty seamless and oh so simple and comfy. I wear my RAINER TIGHTS for my outdoor work as they’re thicker and more durable for colder weather walks/runs/snowshoeing/etc. They’re the leggings you put on when you need to get stuff done and want the support of a tight that’s thicker.
I wore this very sweatshirt on my way to London in October. It’s so cozy and soft, plus the length is perfect to pair with leggings. I’m wearing it here on my way to a Saturday morning cheer performance with my SALUTATION STASH TIGHT and my DOWNTOWN PUFFER VEST. Speaking of puffer vests…
#4: DOWNTOWN METALLIC PUFFER VEST
How cute is this metallic one from Athleta?! Also 30% off today!
You can wear this crop bra by itself at your next yoga class or layer it with another piece. It comes in two other color options, but this red is very merry 🙂 .
I love this next top…
…so very much for outdoor activities when it’s cold!
In fact, I bought the…
…yet again for Nantucket. When I was there in October, I was annoyed with myself that I didn’t have one up there too. About six months out of the year, I put it on every day when heading outside to walk or run. The fit is perfect for working out because it doesn’t ride up and there is a place for your fingers to keep your hands warm too.
For those of you looking for a new jogger option, I thought this pair was super cute!
If you were to pop by my weekly yoga class, there is a really good chance you’d see me in this tank 🙂 .
I bought this beanie in black this morning although it took me a while to decide between that color or red. I am such a beanie girl 🙂 .
#10: WHISPER FEATHERLESS WRAP COAT
You guys, how gorgeous is this wrap coat?! It comes in black as well and is oh so pretty.
Well, even though I’ve now shown you three photos above of me wearing this style of tight…
…I chuckled to myself because this is me RIGHT THIS MINUTE typing this post. I stood up to take the pic so you could see that here I am wearing these tights post-yoga and at my desk on this very morning. These tights are butter soft, I love the pocket and just like every other piece I own by Athleta, they wash and dry to perfection time and time again.
Now, I’m not trying to be dramatic here, but I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH…
…THESE ARE MY FAVORITE FLEECE LEGGINGS. Ever. Period. In the history of me buying/wearing fleece leggings and right now, THEY’RE ON MAJOR SALE!
I have FOUR PAIRS. Why? Well, I have one pair on Nantucket for my cold weather life up there and then three pairs to wear here because I wear them so often in the wintertime. I wear them almost exclusively when we’re on our annual ski vacation too. I love how soft and warm they are, I love how they have movement (they’re not stiff or tight), I love that they wash and dry over and over again without fading or shrinking, I love the two nice side pockets plus pocket in the back, and I love how they keep me warm. This is my favorite Athleta find today 🙂 . They run TTS. I always buys xs.
Okay, now don’t forget, you can get 30% Off Purchase + Daily Doorbusters (11/23-11/26), plus today only: $69 Rainier Bottoms in honor of Black Friday!
I don’t know about you, but nothing motivates me to workout more than a fresh pair of tights and a top. It just makes me want to head outside or to the gym 🙂 .
If you have any Athleta questions for me (fit/sizing/thoughts), leave them in the comment section today!
I hope you all had a wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving Day! Sending you so much love and many, many blessings this weekend.
See you tomorrow for a little Saturday post 🙂 . xx

What are the differences between Athleta and Vuori? Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Mix and Match Mama says
Athleta is athleisurewear where I would said Vuori is more everyday wear. Vuori has mens while Athleta only has women and girls, but a bigger variety of actual workout pieces. I wear both every single day, but it’s always a combination. I love Vuori’s shorts more than Athleta’s, but Athleta makes amazing tights for every activity I need. They both wash and dry really, really well and last forever!
Erin in Arizona says
Love your blog! I know it was asked, but how do you style both daily? Deciding what to a major haul with. You seem to really love both but am curious how it works daily. Seems like one is easier and more practical. Ready to spend just need an honest opinion. Thanks, Shay. Your family is beautiful.
Mix and Match Mama says
If you’re looking for soft, easy to wear every day, mirrors more closely to “clothes” and not “athleticwear” than I would say Vuori. If you are looking for something to go for a run in/lift weights/head to yoga and then to the grocery store in the same clothes, I would say Athleta. Does that make sense? The fabric and construction feels different between the two to me.

Hi Shay,
Are those silver Nikes you’re wearing?!! LOVE!! Would you happen to know the style or have a link? Thanks!!
Mix and Match Mama says
They’re actually Golden Goose!
Joanne says
Oh I’m glad I asked!! I would have driven myself nuts trying to find them! LOL!!
