I have:

1 pair black yoga pants - slightly too short
1 pair grey yoga pants - slightly too thin of material.
1 pair yoga capris
2 pairs mid-length shorts that are slightly too big.
2 pairs knee-length basket ball shorts that are definitely too big.

3 wicking T-shirts
2 wicking tanks.



Tell me it's okay to buy more. Thanks.

    It's TOTALLY okay to buy more.

    1 pair of black pants.
    1 pair of black capris.
    1 skort-thingy.

    2 wicking tanks which are too big.
    And a variety of t-shirts which aren't workout specific, but I wear them anyway.

    Which reminds me I should have put laundry in today. Looks like I'll be wearing my capris out in the snow 'cause my cat decided he was going to sit on me while I was wearing my black pants... T_T

    OF COURSE it's okay to buy more. You need clothes that fit. I have enough warm and cold weather clothes for 5-6 sessions.

    Although the guys in your gym may be sad to see the gray yoga pants go.

    I have 2 Under Armour shirts but thats about it :laugh:
  • 2 pair of black Athleta capris (slightly too big so I don't wear them when I know I'll be jumping and they'll be falling)
    2 pair of black Lululemon "wunder under" capris (love these, one pair I just got for Christmas)

    Several Old Navy "modal" tanks from a couple years ago - and by several I mean like 10. I layer or wear alone.
    A couple old t-shirts
    1 Lululemon tank that I think I'm too fat for now but fit nicely a few months ago

    All of this to say - I pretty much LIVE in one pair of capris and just change my tanks or t-shirts out each day. I wash the capris once a week since I can't use laundry softener in that load.

    Now, how about sports bras??? I've got too many of those thanks to the last Athleta clearance. :bigsmile:

    1 cold weather wicking pull over
    4 wicking pull overs
    2 cold weather running tights
    2 yoga leggings
    2 yoga capris
    1 capri legging
    8 raceback tanks
    5+ race shirts, 3 of them being tech shirts
    4 mid thigh loose fit shorts
    6 bunhuggers
    Various old cut off sleeve tees
    1 pair of running shoes
    3 CF gym specific shirts
    1 Lift Big Eat Big tee
    1 LIft Big Eat Big hoodie
    1 pair of CF shoes

    The last three being my *kitten* clothes ;)

    Buy a new pair of clothes or two that you feel comfortable and confident in. I'm all about looking frumptastic about 75% of the time at the gym, but other times I want to feel good and LOOK good too.

    FYI, looks like Old Navy's work out clothes are all on sale... $7 tanks. I like tanks, because I like to check out my muscles in the mirror at the gym. Yes. I'm one of those people. But I also don't like tanks with the built in bras, I think my boobs are too small. The bras never "work".

    The End.

    Yes, it's okay to buy more. Splurge a little!

    I keep all my old "fat" clothes and workout in those - very large t-shirts and large sweat pants that I've had to cut and re-sew. Maybe it's time for ME to buy new clothes too!
  • I work out at home. I wear yoga pants when I go to yoga class. Otherwise it's:

    2 sports bras
    Underwear

    Simple.

    But if you want to buy more, go for it ;)

    6 pairs of compression capris (all from Old Navy. LOVE them)
    2 pairs of cold weather running tights
    A butt load of tshirts (I don't like the tanks)
    More sports bras than I can count
    7 pairs of moisture wicking shorts

    I honestly just wear shorts and a t-shirt when working out. Though I would like to get some compression pants since it's freezing right now lol

    I can't even list the amount of workout clothes I own. I have a slight addiction to shopping, so that might be a contributing factor. But I always shop smart when I buy workout clothes, I can't stand spending a lot on them. Most of them come from TJ Maxx, Walmart, Dunham's when they email me coupons (also how I got my kayak for $200 off- woo!), eBay (new, not used.), and the Adidas and Nike outlets when they have sales.
    Most of them consist of:
    Sports bras
    Workout pants
    Capris
    Tank tops
    Tshirts

    I've also discovered a new addiction to fleece zip ups- thanks eBay.

    3 pairs of Danskin bootleg dri more pants...in black, grey and navy blue. i have had them for 2 years and love them for more than just workouts! I need a couple more....got paint on a couple of them.

    1 pair grey Curves silky yoga pants. Better suited for warm weather as they are thin.

    1 pair black with purple thin reflective pants Curve brand, used for summertime walking on the roads. have a matchng vest.

    2 long sleeved wicking shirts.
    2 short sleeve wicking shirts
    4 tanks.

    I'd like a pair of capris.

    Not much.

    1 - semi-fitted t-shirt
    1 - compression capris
    1 - Enell sports bra
    3-5 - around the house sports bras (could be used for yoga if I took it up - lol)
    1 - under armour material t-shirt that is too snug
    1 - pair stability running shoes

    I saw on another thread that Old Navy was having a sale and ordered 3 more tops, 2 more bottoms, and some socks. That is all.

    Thinking about this makes me so proud. I own more work out clothes than street clothes. Very little of my street clothes wardrobe still fit.

    4 pairs of Capri pants
    1 pair of sweat pants
    2 pairs of shorts (1 doesn't fit yet)
    8 wife beaters
    2 v neck tees (that I hate to wear)
    2 pairs of sneakers (1 gym 1 running)
    5 sports bras
