Workout wardrobe! Suggestions ladies?

I just picked up a Calvin Klein workout bra ($14.99) and some workout leggings at Marshall's today. When I posted a question about best sport bras the ones that were mentioned the most was Victorias Secret (to my surprise) and that lululemon brand.

MPG at TJMAXX. Nice placement of seams for definition. Nice style. Maia by Moving Comfort is my favorite sports bra for high impact sports (great for big cup size). Maia is sold at our local running store -- RoadRunner Sports.

for me - leggings, any brand. sports bras with good support (even after losing a lot of weight from my top half, im still well endowed LOL) and in bright colors cause YAY! COLOR!, beyond that, usually a t shirt (mostly older but i have a couple i got on sale from old navy i like), or layered tank tops (just cause i like lots of different colors LOLOLOL)

i also cut up a bunch of old t shirts i had and made them into tank tops, to give them a second life as new workout gear LOL

I get my Moving Comfort Bras from Fleet Feet. They are pricey, but easily adjustable in the straps as you lose weight. I get my shoes there too, pricey again, but I have had foot injuries from bad shoes, so it is worth it. Fleet Feet keeps your info on file, so if you don't remember what size/brand you wore they can look it all up for you. As well as having informed people that can properly fit you. I go cheap on the pants and shirts by going to Walmart. I wear out of them fast and wont get bored and can buy several pairs of everything there. Walmart also carries exercise pants that have pockets in them. When I take walks I want a pants pocket for keys, and phone.

Loose shorts - Nike Tempo. Accept no substitutes.
Compression shorts - Under Armour 7"
Compression capris - New Balance Go 16"
Bike shorts (w/chamois) - Pearl Izumi Quest (size up in these)
Bike jersey - buy cute ones in good condition used off eBay. You'll save a TON.
Sports bra - Target C9 (Champion) seamless double-dry or whatever they're calling them now. Note that I am not well-endowed so this might not be enough support for many.
Socks - anything of synthetic fiber in summer. Drymax Cold Weather socks in winter.

For tank tops I buy bright colors for outside, so I'm (more) visible to drivers, and generally black ones for the gym. No cotton. I'm done with cotton.

For outside in the summer I also like a UPF-fabric hat and good sunglasses.

Stores - Most of my stuff is from Kohl's (online has a *fantastic* selection and sales ALL the time), Target, 6pm, and Running Warehouse. I haven't needed to replace my Nike shorts in ages, but 6pm usually has them for cheap.

Road Runners (online) has a great in-house brand, too. My winter running tights are RR and are going on 6 years of heavy use.

Most of my stuff is C9 brand from Target and Old Navy is stepping it up with their workout gear. Great prices and cute.

Love the Nike Pro Combat Sports Bras, can buy them at the outlet or on ebay for less than $15-20 the regular price. Also love the Danskin Now Performance wear at Walmart, its in stores and online. Also if you have a local Marshalls/TJMaxx, moving comfort, nike, and different brands are sold there and they have really cute crops, pants, performance gear, etc.

Pick something cute, airy, and you can get down and sweaty in

I was recently given a lululemon gift card, and darn...those pants are nice. Especially for free. Otherwise I wear RBX leggings, and get my tops at Marshalls/TJ MAXX. I like to have a couple of tight bright tops, and a couple of loser ones that are low in the back but cover my butt and tummy when I'm feeling bloated.

I live in a small town with no Old Navy, TJ Maxx, or pretty much anything except a small JCPenneys and a Ross. But we do have a Big 5 that carries a ton of Under Armour, Avia, Nike, and other brands, which on occasion my husband takes me in there and says to pick out a couple things. Which is nice to get brandy-new stuff, because....

....I thrift-store it. I am a thrift-store junkie. I have found brand-new, tags still on, Athletica (I think?) brand TALL (yay! I'm 5'10") pants for $15 (original price tag was about $80) at Saver's; Nike pants (again, in tall) at either Saver's or Goodwill; and a ton of different tops for a few bucks each if not cheaper. Capri leggings, sweats, tank-tops, work-out jackets--I've found them all, and there's something to the thrill of finding an incredible deal (like those Athletica leggings, they are SO nice).

I buy the cheap, pull-over style cotton (two layers in front, one in back) bras in three-packs at WalMart, they're like 3 for $8 or something, and just wear those for a couple-three months each and pick up more.

I also always look for longer tunic-style tops/sweaters/cover-ups, because I can wear my workout leggings and my tanks/tee-shirts, throw the tunic over, and feel like I'm dressed enough to be "presentable" outside the gym. Throw a little scarf around my neck, and voila, fully dressed. Toss off the tunic and scarf, and boom, ready to lift.

Most of my stuff is Target/Old Navy. BUT I love love love Athleta for running capris. They have interior drawstrings, and little pockets, plus reflective bits for running outside.

I like fun shirts from Woot!

• http://shirt.woot.com/offers/tomorrow-the-world
• http://shirt.woot.com/offers/rule-no-1-cardio
• http://shirt.woot.com/offers/some-motivation-required-olive-remix?ref=cnt_ctlg_dgn_5

And I am a big geek so ThinkGeek.com

• https://www.thinkgeek.com/product/18c3/ (yes I know it's a sleep shirt but it covers my bum)
• https://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1963/

I wanted to put pictures in but Woot is wonky about its artwork.

I know these aren't "traditional" workout clothes but they make me feel empowered, and that's what matters right?

(bras are another story. I hate finding workout bras....)

What an awesome site!!! I shall be using this...not necessarily for things to work out in

I have workout gear for cold weather - leggings and tops and jackets from mainly BCG at Academy and C9 from Target. And I have workout gear for hot weather - that is skorts from several places, but my favorites are from Sam's Club (I need to head there soon) that come out about once a year in early spring, with HeatGear tops from UnderArmor (mostly bought at the thrifts) and OmniFreeze tops from Columbia (mostly bought on sale/clearance from outdoorsy/athletic stores).

My running bras. . .Moving Comfort, Glamorize, the Vicky's Secret line, and Champion, which are perfectly good knockoffs of Moving Comfort bras for half the price.

Uhm, random things. . .I have running googles from Zenni Optical, where it was $50 for a really nice pair. I like to wear buff headbands or half-buffs folded to be headbands whenever I run - in winter it helps under my hat for warmth and in summer it catches my sweat. I use shoelace clips (I think they were called "bow-biters" when we were kids) instead of tying my laces, because my feet are wide, and even in the right shoes (EE), I still don't have a lot of lace left to tie. I have two soft reflectory straps that go on my arm and ankle and several (they're cheap on Ebay) flashing LED armbands. I have the lightest headband I could find - it doesn't really illuminate the road for me, but it does make me easier to see.

I also have picked up stuff from Winners. My yoga pants I got from Old Navy. I go for bright, too. I've got several tops in neon green, pinks, purple, and blue. My neon pink shoes can be seen from space. Since my skinnier self has loads of wobbly surplus skin, I'm partial to snug fitting spandex. I also picked me up one of these:

WUT IS THAT!!! AND WHERE CAN I GET IT!

I think you mean:
