I'll be the first to admit I'm not an athletic person, at all. Since junior high school, I've been happily cheering my friends on at their football games and soccer matches from the sidelines as long as I could go home to my yoga mat and spend Sunday mornings at Pilates with my mom's friends.
Weekends are often spent in my casual wear, from the second I throw them on for morning meditation through running errands and evening walks. No, I won't be running a marathon or joining my friend's volleyball league anytime soon.
But, I'm all about being able to move around seamlessly during a long yin yoga class or being able to throw a denim jacket on a two-piece legging set between Barry's Bootcamp and brunch with friends. I don't like splurging much on the outfits I'll probably be sweating in, but quality is paramount.
That's exactly why I wait for the legendary Nordstrom Anniversary Sale every summer to bulk up on all the sneakers, tees, sports bras, and leggings I need to last through a year's worth of workouts.
Here are the best deals this year.
