Happy Monday everyone! Today as I sat in Jury Duty, (not exactly what "funday.monday" means), I thought about things I have been paying attention to style-wise in the last few weeks, and came up with some fun tips for you guys this week :)

Along with most of the world, I have been thinking a lot about the "life resolutions" I have made for 2011 (I am calling them life resolutions because I plan on incorporating them into my life, not just for this year). One of them is to be healthier and that means focusing on adding more exercise to my life and making some smarter food choices. With this recent decision in my life that meant that I, of course, needed to add cute work-out clothing to my wardrobe! Since I'm short I knew that I would want legging type work-out pants for the cold weather. Also, I tend to wear baggier t-shirts because I am not exactly comfortable in a skin-tight bodysuit at the gym, so I thought I might spice up my t-shirt collection. Here are some tips on where I looked and purchased!

1: Target - Target has the C9 Champion line which is really cute and totally affordable. I bought great legging work-out pants for $24.99 and some cute, baggier, brightly colored t-shirts
2: Macy's - Now I don't frequent Macy's very often but I was given a gift certificate and they were having some major sales - they were practically giving the clothes away. They had adorable Puma and Nike workout clothing with shirts priced at $9 and even cute work-out pants priced anywhere from $10 - $15
3: DSW - As I have said before my ever pracitical BF loves showing me that I can find cute shoes at DSW. The other day I was online and saw that they are selling great sneakers for $80 and below! They carry everything from Asics to Nike to Adidas. If you need a new pair of work-out sneakers, but don't want to spend a ton of money, I recommend checking out your nearest DSW store or check them out online at www.dsw.com.
4: Gap Body - The last place I love to check out for cute work-out clothing and anything cozy is Gap Body. They have really cute yoga clothing, along with great sports bras and sweatshirts, and it's Gap so it doesn't break the bank. I think to get myself even more motivated I might have to purchase this adorable gym bag:

I hope you found my gym styling tips motivating, and not just by helping you get off the couch, but being excited about looking cute while workin' it!

Happy Styling :)
