    Yes and every purchase it easily justified... "I really need it."

    Multiple running shoes
    Sports bras in all colors
    Tank tops
    Long sleeves
    Shorts
    Pants
    Light sweaters
    Socks

    Wifey was looking at gym shoes to MATCH her outfits tonight. I said, only half jokingly, "When we start buying gym shoes to match our workout gear, we have gone toooooooooooo far!!!!!"

    At this point you'd think I'd have stock in under amor, but I didnt have any money left after all the stuff I bought. I am thinking about just getting UA tattooed on my forehead at this point. Maybe they would pay me in clothing for being a walking billboard.

    Yes, others like me! Haha. I'm ADDICTED to sports clothes! I've probably spend at least $1000 the last 2 months...
    I love Reebok, Nike, UA etc.. People at my gym probably think I'm sponsored by Nike lol. It's so much fun to shop fitness clothes when you work out a lot and you see yourself becoming fitter! I wear fitness clothes more than normal clothes now!
    And of course everything has to match in colour.. Shoes, bras, tops, pants, even my wrist band hehe.
    Pink and neons baby! :bigsmile:

    I wear cheap shorts and t-shirts to the gym because otherwise my female admirers keep interrupting my workout... Not because I'm a poor student, I swear :D

    I have over 15 pairs of running shorts, several running pants, 5 pairs of running shoes THAT I WEAR, and dozens of running tanks/shirts/hoodies.

    I bought most of it 2+ years ago when I started racing again. It has been the best investment ever because I wear them everyday. UA and Nike outlet stores are VERY dangerous for me :)

    ENJOY!

    I admire this very very much :) I wish I had the self control for the minimalism.

    If I could afford it I would buy way more! I get all my professional clothing from GW Boutique (aka. Goodwill) but they don't have much in the way of workout gear. I really love the moisture-wicking sports bras that come in 2-packs at Walmart honestly. I work out at home anyway so I have no one to look cute for but myself! :P I will spend good money on quality athletic shoes though.

    This I understand. If I worked out at home I would probably do it naked :bigsmile: Ok maybe wearing underwear..
    I go to a new and hip gym so it's nice to look like a superstar while working out haha. Why not look good while sweating right?
    Jewelry and make-up are also a must lol :bigsmile:

    I turned up to a run in some cargo style shorts and a threadless t-shirt.
    A running-club friend of a friend says "you're running in THAT?" with some seriousness.

    As it turned out, don't think my clothing was the limiting factor, really.

    (To be fair, do fancy some science-cloths, but way down the list to spend my money on.)

    I enjoyed buying a bunch of new stuff... but at Kohls and Target. Not yet able to spend lululemon or similar. But I just got a new Athleta catalog (how'd they know?!) and I was sure tempted.

    Oh gosh LOL...if I wear makeup during my workout I break out SO bad. I have to wash my face before and after. Actually the other day I went to work out and had forgotten to buy an external DVD-rom, so I made a quick run to Walmart...forgetting that I had my bun on the top of my head and acne cream on my face! OMG, embarrassing when I got back in the car and realized why the cashier was staring at me like that.

    Usually I just wear shorts or leggings and a sports bra to work out. Then I can check myself out in the mirror. :bigsmile:
