Win $100 to Albion Fit


and lest you think my life is all posing in parking lots ...


I had the pleasure of holding this skinny little grump while we watched his older siblings hunt "gooses" and any listening grammar nazis ...


"Just come here, yous!!!"

She has perfected her technique. Watch out.

I'll be honest in admitting that I'd love to not be the cliché of a mom that wears her workout clothes all day even though she sometimes doesn't even work out (although if you've ever had the pleasure of lifting Kettlebash then .... you might let me off the "rest days" hook) but I totally am. So you can imagine how my little lycra loving heart burst when Albion Fit sent me these workout pants and this top. What I was not expecting was to love the shirt so much that it is now the first thing I reach for when I dress up in street clothes to go to places like the park. And it will get a tour of Costco tomorrow. It is that comfortable and soft and drapes perfectly and is the perfect length for tucking or not and looks nothing like sweating attire.

But don't let my obsession with the shirt make you think I don't love the pants because I do. I thought I'd never be able to top my favorite Gap G-flex workout pants that I live in during the winter months (which have happily coincided with postpartum months these past 3 years so ... I really love them) but these do. They're not glorified tights like a lot of workout pants can be and don't get any ideas (aka: I'm not pregnant) but the first thing I thought when I slipped these suckers on was how great they'd work as maternity. The waist band is super stretchy but still really supportive. If they make them in black anytime soon I'll be all over them. Or they'll be all over me.

So .. what did you learn? That if you've been on the hunt for the perfect long sleeve shirt ... this is it. And the pants are perfect so if you win you'll want to get those too. Oh! And they carry gorgeous swimsuits too ... this is my favorite.

!Albion Fit is providing a super generous discount code for $20 off any order of $50 or more ... patton20 and it's good through the end of this Friday, August 2nd. Use it!



And onto the rafflechopping ... may the best reader vin.

  2. Love the length of the shirt. Could be one of the few tops that work with my hips.....

    ReplyDelete
  3. I have a little case of the Mondays, so the silver Silver Signature hoodie is calling my name. The hoodie paired with the Mantra long pants would be perfect to sit out and enjoy my porch on this relatively cool summer day.

    ReplyDelete

  13. I recently discovered Albion Fit and I looooove their stuff! It is so incredibly cute, I want it all. Oh and by the way Grace, if you have any info for the world on just HOW you stay so gorgeously thin after THREE BABIES, feel free to let us in on the secret.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Ahh the kids and the "gooses" - so cute! Love the whole workout look - that shirt is perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  15. P.S. I've been drooling over the Breathe Freely tank and the Illusion leggings for awhile now...

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hooray for long and loose enough workout shirts! And nonseethrough leggings.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Love those Sweet Stripe jackets..I'm always on the colder side, so it's nice to find cute workout jackets!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Could use some new cute workout gear, just got the ok to workout post baby! Super cute stuff

    ReplyDelete
  19. Okay, first: you look totally adorable. Second, I recently added some gym time onto my usual running-outside routine, and I immediately realized that I need some new workout clothes. I can wear the same all-black ensemble when I'm out at 6am running around the neighborhood; no one is close enough to tell if they're threadbare or show my bumps in all the wrong places...in the lights of the gym, however, I look pretty shabby. So yes, Albion Fit would help a ton!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I wouldn't have to decline all those pool party invites if I had that Athena suit!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Since I've been in need of a new suit since 6 years ago, the poppy suit is by far my favorite. Next, any of the capris and the breathe freely tank all look like the most comfortable things to wear.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love the lounge crop pants in charcoal!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ummm... I'll take a breathe free tank, go long crew, and a signature hoodie please... Oh and how about a charcoal lounge crop too! Crap their swim suits are adorbs too!

    ReplyDelete
  24. The sweet stripe full zip jackets are adorable!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  26. I don't even have kids yet & I already live in my yoga pants all day, so here's to more stretch pants!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I've had some of their bermudas for a few years and would love to add a cute top. Thanks!

  31. Love the pleated tennis skirts, but if I'm honest with myself, and since I am pregnant, I'd probably get those capris.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Love the Athena suit, so pretty!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Those leggings look super comfy and the Athena swimsuit may be the prettiest one piece I have seen all season! :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oooh that polka dot thingy (that's a word, right?) made me think that maybe wearing a swimsuit wouldn't be so bad after all. Swimsuit camouflage or something...
    And since this is my first comment on your blog (big time stalker): Reading your blog brightens my day, thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I love the charcoal gown suit! Super cute. And I love what you're wearing. I think I'd live in that!

  61. I have desperately been wanting some fantastic workout leggings, but I might just blow the whole thing on that shirt (or the signature hoodie in black), because if I can look half as good in it as you do, I will feel pretty hotttt...which would be a great step up from how workout gear usually makes me feel.
