Lately I’ve found myself living in yoga pants — well workout clothes in general. Not kidding. I wake up, workout, shower and just put workout clothes back on for the day. I spend my days working from home, playing with the baby, walking the dog and running errands — and it’s just easier.<\/p>\n

However, now that I live in workout apparel I’ve realized I need more. You can never have enough — although my husband would disagree. Anyway, without going out and dropping some serious cash on new gear I’ve been slowly building a “workout” closet without breaking the bank. So how did I do it? Below are five ways I’ve built a workout wardrobe I love. It just takes a little time.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nONE | Make a list & know your size<\/b>
\nThis is key. How do you know what to buy if you don’t know what you need. Living in Tahoe I’m forced to do a lot of online shopping so knowing what size I wear in various brands comes in handy. I always put workout gear on birthday and christmas lists too!<\/p>\n

TWO | Shop often and shop sales<\/b>
\nI refuse to pay full price for anything. Shopping often whether online or in store helps you snag a good deal. Also if you try on items in the store you can always purchase online when it goes on sale. With that said, don’t buy something just because it’s a good deal — you want to make sure you’ll love wearing it.<\/p>\n

THREE | Buy one to two pieces a month<\/b>
\nSlow and steady wins the race. You don’t want to buy everything at once because guess what — you’ll have to replace everything at once. Unless you are getting each item for $5-10 space out the purchases.<\/p>\n

FOUR | Shop at stores like TJMaxx, Target or Old Navy <\/b>
\nI’ve found some great deals — like a $50 Moving Comfort sports bra for $12.99! Personally I’m not bias when it comes to brands. Yesterday I wore North Face capris, a Rebook tank and sports bra from Target. Today it’s Zella Leggings<\/a> (BTW — you need these today!) and a tank from Fabletics. I’m all about mixing high and low items.<\/p>\n

FIVE | Try a subscription service like Fabletics or Wantable<\/b>
\nFabletics<\/a> is nice because you can get a whole outfit for on $49 — that’s $25 a piece. It’s a monthly service, but you can opt out whenever you want. Each month they add new outfits making shopping fun.<\/p>\n

Wantable<\/a> is a bit like Stitch Fix<\/a>, but you can get workout clothes! #winning. Their Edit service includes Style and Fitness. It\u2019s a personal shopping service for apparel. For a $20 per month styling fee, one of their Style Editors will handpick 5 items for you to try on at home. Take 5 days to try on the items to decide what you love and what you\u2019d like to return. You\u2019re only billed for what you keep, and they include a return label to make it easy and convenient. Style and Fitness Edits are currently only available for U.S. customers.<\/span><\/span>
