My Favs on Thursdays: Fabletics
My Favs on Thursday is a weekly link up with my best bloggy buddies Katy and Nicole and share our favorite thing of the week.
In my blog reading on Monday, I came across East &’s post about “6 Workout Tips You Haven’t Heard Before.” Though I may have heard them before (except #3 and #5– no one ever tells you those), it’s always nice to hear the reminders when you recently re-start on a healthy path. #1 was the tip that struck a chord with me. Don’t wait to buy new work out clothes. I’ve never heard it put better. I get excited to work out if I have new work out clothes. I’ll buy play clothes as a reward. One of the best ways I’ve found to keep myself pumped is Fabletics.
First introduced to me by my friend Aubrey (and recently Nikki posted about them), Fabletics is a subscription service for work out gear! I love a good subscription service, but this is probably my favorite. Every month you get to choose an outfit. That simple. Your first one is only $25. And don’t sweat (pun totally intended) if you need to skip a month that’s a-okay! If you forget to log on an pick an outfit, you’ll earn a credit towards a future outfit that you really want. My last outfit I picked was called “Aruba.”I honestly don’t care what it’s called, but I HAD TO HAVE THOSE CAPRIS! I loved that print. This was my third Fabletics outfit and I was just as impressed as I was with the first.
YAY! Running twinsies!!! I'm still impressed with the quality of Fabletics, even after months. I'm thinking about getting some plain black skinny Fabletics pants (I know, leggings as pants) because around here everyone is wearing Lululemon yoga pants in boots as the weather cools. Might be my new airport pant, as all the other ponte pants I've worn don't fit right anymore or have pilled. Fabletics holds up to my workouts at the right price!
P.S. I don't like the bras either. Return them for store credit!
Yes, those pants are fantastic, and I think you are right, having something cute (and clean) to put on is key. I might have to try a VS bra, since everything I pick up, even the ones that say high impact, do nothing. And finding DD bras is a challenge. There was only one last time I was at TJMaxx, and it was bright neon yellow, which I was on the fence about.
Chic on the Cheap
ohh i need to check out fabletics! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
You won't be disappointed!
Really?! I will contact them about that. It was a nice layer, but that was it. Sometimes leggings as pants just have to do, especially with as much traveling as you do. It is a good deal too. I was in Academy and to get a full outfit at the same quality was going to run me about $80. It's crazy.
Haha! Clean is right. I feel ya on the DD in a sports bra issue. These are the bras I recommend: https://www.victoriassecret.com/victorias-secret-sport/sports-bras/incredible-by-victoriarsquos-secret-sport-bra-vs-sport?ProductID=192157&CatalogueType=OLS
I take a 38dd or a 36dd. They have support, give great coverage, and shape instead of smush.The style is pretty pricey, but worth it. They're doing a buy two get a coupon offer right now, which isn't too bad.
I've totally ordered an outfit and returned an individual piece for credit. Do it!
Wow! I've never heard of Fabletics before but I'm definitely checking them out now because that outfit is SO super cute! Those capris are amazing!
Aren't they?! Even if you only sign up for the first outfit and skip every other one after that, it's worth it for a $25 work out outfit!
Super adorable outfit! I love my stuff from Athleta, so I would never switch to Fabletics. It's a great idea though!
Haha! Don't you have to say that? Kidding. 🙂 I'm not really partial to any particular brand of work out clothing, I like Fabletics concept though. Does Athleta do a subscription service too?
No they don't have anything like that.
Dying over those capris! I love the print!
xo,
Angela
I am super jealous you got those capris! I really wanted them and then they were all sold out! So adorable!

What an awesome idea!! That subscription service sounds great, and I can definitely understand why you just had to have those capris!!
I've been meaning to try Fabletics! Isn't it the one Kate Hudson helped launch? You've convinced me!

Not to bud in on this convo but ahem… I learned that Academy also gets their stuff made for them, so you are paying full price for a Nike shirt, capris ect. that are nothing more than a cheaper made product, think JCrew Factory, that they are selling for similar price.
That would explain why my Nike outlet stuff is nicer than the stuff I get on clearance at Academy. Their prices are much higher than the nike outlet too.
Yes! Kate Hudson is cofounder! I've really enjoyed Fabletics!
LOL. I'm pretty sure we were separated at birth– or at some point in life!
Haha! Thanks for commenting Sam! I appreciate it!
Thank you Cheryl!
I was looking in the "sale" section today and a pair of capris that had previously sold out were back in stock, so I would take a look over the next month or so. The pattern is probably one of my favorites they've put out so far.
Thanks Angela! I was too!
I've been hearing about Fabletics! One of the parts of my wardrobe I want to tackle after I have this baby is workout gear. It needs some SERIOUS revamping!
Hey baby comes first! My work out gear before fabletics was my husbands gym shorts and an oversized tee, so this is a major improvement.
I honestly cannot remember the last time I purchased workout gear. Maybe this is something I need to focus on. 🙂
