The Art of (Budgeted) Athleisure

Can athleisure count as a passion? Considering jeans have become what I consider dressing up and leggings are now the quintessential I am a last semester senior look - athleisure is now a lifestyle that consumes my laundry loads. I swoon over PUMA X Selena Gomez, C38 Exlusives and Reebok x Gigi Hadid - but sometimes a girl has to be as strong with her budget as she is with her planks. Now some may think I am a frequent shopper of Alo or Outdoor Voices spending hundreds of dollars.

Little do they know my thriving & surviving shopping hack.

My thriving little secret is shopping in the Activewear department of Forever21. The pieces that I thrive in everyday are all less than $50, have survived sketchy washing machines and still quick dry after endless sauna sessions. I have slight obsession with cohesive and matching workout wear - so I have curated a collection of pieces that I think will help you elevate your spring movement and wardrobe.

Now I would like to fully acknowledge that Forever21 is considered fast fashion - sadly the company does not practice the most sustainable or ethical efforts. I would hope that we all aim to have the financial resources one day to support thriving corporations such as Everlane or Reformation.
