office hours

I am constantly switching and changing my look before I head into the office in the morning. I'm convinced that it's got less to do with my outfit options and more to do with the fact that my imagination is pretty limited at 8 a.m. So to add a little inspo to your morning routine, here is a fresh workwear look from Banana Republic Factory. Not only is the jacket perfect for transitioning to spring, but the Devon Pant is sophisticated, comfy and endlessly versatile. With a flattering stretch fit that slims in all the right places and cropped leg, these look great with sneakers, knee-high boots, cropped sweaters and so much more. To top that off, they come in a wide variety of fabrics (bi-strech, suede, leather, denim) and colors!  Bonus? They're great for adding a little polish to your basic tops and tees. For my casual dress code today, I tossed them on with a classic striped top and modern mules. If you're workplace is more formal, try pairing them with a blazer, printed tank and heels.

At this point, I think we can all agree that yoga pants are a wardrobe essential. Whether we're wearing them to yoga class or the coffee shop, we need them. For a while though, I pretty much assumed that workout gear was among the list of throwaway items not worth investing in (kind of like oversized night tee shirts). Yup, I was the girl wearing high school tees and shorts from my cheerleading days to the gym and god knows those were OLD. But over more recent years, I have been introduced to high-quality workout attire and it has really changed my world.

Not only does it motivate me to get my bod into classes more often, but it has actually made my workouts a lot more productive.

This camo set from the Hero Collection at Carbon 38 is silky soft and lightweight, making hot yoga and sweaty gym sessions feel a bit more tolerable. I feel ready to take on even the most challenging of hikes and (lately) even runs in this set. I love the sheer details and pleated waistline (almost as much as I love eating pasta!)  Can't be healthy all the time, right?

One of my New Year's resolutions was to develop a more structured fitness routine. Well January (and February) came and went and so did that lofty goal. Between endless workdays and chillier temps, I always found a way to avoid working out. 

But the streak is over guys, I just joined a new yoga studio and I even set up a running schedule (seriously) so  I am DOING this. As a little extra motivation, I also restocked my workout wardrobe with some brand new essentials. Check out all my favorites below!

What’s your workout of choice? I’ve been tempted to try out a spinning class but I don't know where to start. For me, barre and yoga classes are ideal for toning and strengthening. If you guys have any others that you love, let me know!
