I’ve always been a fan of Outdoor Voices activewear.  I had tried the line {their warmup kit actually} last year when I went to Napa.  I knew I would be doing a lot of outdoor activities, and I wanted to go hiking, etc.  So, I went ahead and purchased their leggings/crop top set.  It was {and still is} one of the most comfortable sets that I own.

I was so excited to try out some more of their items, like these springs leggings and double time sports bra.  I love that the bra isn’t racerback — It’s a nice change and provides amazing support.  The material is soft, sweat-wicking, and lightweight {plus there’s a hidden pocket in the leggings heyyyy}.  If you’ve been wanting to try a new brand of workout-wear, then I highly suggest Outdoor Voices activewear.  It’s perfect for pretty much everything.  I went on a walk on a strangely warm day for winter {I soaked up that sun and warm weather as much as I could before it got cold again}, and this was the perfect attire for it.  I tied this hoodie around my waist in case I got chilly in the shade.

I even wore this outfit to lift in.  Most of you know I’m super weird about my activewear.  It’s got to be AMAZING quality, and I make sure I test everything out in a workout before posting.  This set definitely made the cut.  The leggings didn’t sag down nor did they ride up, The bra provided great support during burpees and my HIIT.  Plus, I threw on the hoodie on my way out and it was perfect for a post-sweat workout.

Speaking of workout…y’all didn’t think I would forget my weekly workout routine, did you?! Nah, of course not.  This week’s a hard one.  I’m trying to challenge myself in new ways this week, and I encourage you to do the same!
