What kind of a fitness and fashion enthusiast would I be if I didn’t check out the athletic wear during Nordstrom’s Anniversary sale?! I’m a particular fan of Zella because of the tried and true quality, but also because it’s cute! #ofcourse #priorities! I’ve been slacking on my running and workouts lately, and I keep telling myself I’ll pick it back up when school starts, so y’all hold me to that PLEASE!! We should all commit together and do some kind of fitness challenge (not a bikini contest!) and encourage each other. I feel like I need the motivation lately!I’m always on the hunt for the perfect running shorts and I found a new pair I’m crazy for – the Zella ‘daylight’ track shorts. They are very lightweight material with perforated, vented sides. I personally like the 3-inch inseam and higher cut sides. They make my short legs appear longer. The waistband is nice and wide and super comfy.
These are perfect for running outside on hot days, but I wouldn’t wear them on a strength training day because they are not lined. Don’t want to flash anybody!
I only had one Zella jacket before THE SALE, and I’d really been wanting another one given how much I wear the first one. This Zella ‘dharma’ hooded jacket is fantastic quality and the material is so soft – I wish you could feel through the screen!
The top I couldn’t live without is the Zella ‘layer me’ pullover. Those long sleeve tops with holes for the thumbs have grown on me since I first started seeing them, but they took me some time to get used to. You too?? The top has a cute criss-cross and nice wide neckline. This might be an “oh, I’m going to workout . . . later” type of top in that you wear it even when you have no intention of going to the gym. I won’t tell.
The back looks good too with a dip neckline and bottom.
If you’ve shopped your heart out already (looks around sheepishly) but haven’t yet gotten to the activewear, below are the Top 7 things you might want to order before the sale ends. I can vouch for all of these except the leggings– I don’t have them (yet!) but they’ve gotten the best reviews, over 2500! It seems that everyone and their mothers, of all shapes and sizes, love these leggings.
I never ordered them because I usually get hot when working out so I prefer capris or shorts, but, maybe I need these for outdoor winter runs or as regular leggings with tops/tunics/sweaters and boots as many reviewers said. They have smooth seaming, and stretch, moisture-wicking fabric.
I can personally vouch for the rest! Must-haves for sure!
