On Friday night, I attended a VIP shopping event at the Athleta Store in Legacy Place. A group of us met at the store to sip a little wine, nosh on some goodies and, most importantly, check out the new fall line!
We shopped, chatted with the uber-friendly and helpful staff and agonized over which pieces to buy. I had promised myself no” ninja black,” and happily there is no shortage of color in Athleta’s fall line – with an emphasis on a range of blues.
After much ooing and ahhing, I finally settled on the Sprint Reversible Stripe Bra, the Crunch Tank, the Ambassador Tank and the Splits Revelation Capri. You can see I embraced the new color scheme!
I love that the clothes feature both wicking and “unstinkable” technology – less stink = less laundry. Athleta also offers a “give-it-a-workout guarantee.” If an item doesn’t perform during your workout, return it! This is my first Athleta wear and I can’t wait to give them a try – I’ll be sure to let you know what I think.
All-in-all a lot of fun was had by our whole crew – no one left empty-handed! I have my eye on several other pieces so I’m sure I’ll be back soon. Thanks to the Athleta staff for hosting such a fun evening!

Awesome! Athleta seems like a great brand for women, and it was nice to read more about them. If they help you with your training, keep using them. I know new clothes make me enjoy my runs more 🙂

I agree – new clothes always puts a little bounce in my run!
Awesome! What a fun event. I LOVE Athleta and still have some ancient pieces from back before The GAP owned them. It was started by a couple of women in Petaluma CA.

Sounds like a great night out! I have a hard time going into stores like that. I seem to leave there with so much more than I planned in the beginning. But of course you need it all:)

My greatest challenge was narrowing down what to buy and not getting carried away!
I went to a similar event several months ago at Athleta. I really like their products but can’t get myself to pay so much for workout clothes! I have some capris I bought from there that I really love.

Yes – a little on the pricier side for sure. I’m hoping the pieces I bought will be with me for a long time!
I love their capris! Great fall patterns this year. I have the new catalogue book marked already.
