Wardrobe Wednesday 11/19

It is currently 36 degrees out, and I am freezing. I am always freezing though, that's nothing new. My mom calls me a "bag lady" when I am home and not planning on going anywhere because I layer up and it isn't pretty. Usually my "bag lady" attire consist of cartoon character PJ pants, an over sized shirt that often hangs to my knees and then a sweatshirt or hoodie and the shirt hangs out from under the hoodie. Yeah I have no shame. Not like I am going out or taking a selfie to post to Facebook so as long as I am warm I am all good. So the point of the semi-embarrassing reveal of my "bag lady" layers is this awesome post I found with pictures to help us know how much to layer for the cold weather and how much is too much. You don't want to put so much on that mid run you're overheating and stripping in front of the little kiddies at the park. So, now pictures of clothes today but a helpful guide instead:

Wardrobe Wednesday 11/5


Welcome to Fall! Along with the beautiful changing of the leaves the cool weather starts to come in. Some places have even gotten snow already. So, if you're like me and don't go to the gym you're going to need clothes to keep you warm for your morning walks or runs.


Mizuno Breath Thermo Stretch L/S Crew
More than just a regular shirt, this winter workout crewneck has heat-regulating properties so you'll stay comfortably warm in spite of the frosty winds.

 $39.99



ASICS Thermopolis Lt. Run Pant
Made from insulating material and with reflective ankle zips that accommodate your running shoes, these pants are a runner's dream. However, the super-soft fabric alone will make you want to wear these pants — even when you're not working out.

$69.99


Brooks Wanganui Softshell Jacket
A runner dedicated enough to run rain or shine should be rewarded with a medal, in our opinion. But as a consolation prize, how about a jacket that'll get you through the workout intact? This jacket protects you from the wind, rain, sleet, and hail. For added warmth, use it with the LSD Thermal Vest.

$149.99

Manzella Windstopper Balaclava
For the days that are a little more hardcore (think sleet and snow), a simple hat just won't do. This contoured cap fits over your head and face comfortably to keep you warm on even the worst days. We can't say it won't give you hat-hair afterward (or have you looking like a ninja during), but at least you won't be freezing on your run.
$32.99
Brooks Vapor-Dry Glove
These lightweight gloves will keep your hands warm and dry with Vapor-Dry fabric. Plus, there's a wiping surface built in for you to mop sweat off your face — an added bonus.
$27.99
