Most of the outfits around here lately have been a bit more low-key in the color department, so I figured it was time to punch it up with something a little more zany.
This outfit is the perfect demonstration of why I love black and white prints. A monochrome pattern looks amazing with bright colors but still has its own special appeal. There isn’t any part of this outfit that fades into the background. Depending on my mood, I tend to go back and forth between sleek, subtle outfits and totally playful, colorful looks. This one definitely falls into the latter category! I also feel like I can get a little more workout mojo out of bold, crazy outfits when I’m feeling a little sluggish.
My atomic kitten leggings have quickly become one of my most-worn styles this season. I love the feel of the fabric and the animal print that’s just wild enough. You can read more details about them here. I still wish they didn’t have the fading issue at the bum when stretched (e.g., in a bend/squat), but I love so much else about them that I rarely think about it.
I’ve been a little gym bag crazy this year, and I managed to find this blooming pixie duffel for a steal on Poshmark. My deep zinfandel weekend warrior from a couple years ago is starting to show a little wear and tear, which makes me sad since I love it so much. I got the pixie in part so I don’t have to use my WW for things like travel. Plus, pixie is such a cute print! I’m still bummed lulu didn’t make speed shorts in it…
Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!!
Alala has done killer deals esp with your code on past season colors. Flyweight tee for under $50, captain crops on sale, etc! Was super excited to pick some things up I’ve been wanting to try. Thanks for your code :)
You’re welcome!! It looks like they dropped the prices in their sale section this week… Trying to resist. D:
Thanks for this heads up Heather. I just scored 2 capris, 2 tops and a bra for $200. Thanks to Suzanne’s code it justified my little shopping binge. What an amazing steal.
Lulu made tracker in blooming, why oh why couldn’t they have made speeds! They would’ve sold like hotcakes!!
Omg I know!!! Such a tease. :(
I love wearing my raspberry glo energy bra with black and white bottoms, too! I also like wearing pistachio and ray. Something about the neons looks great with the black and white.
I totally agree!! Bright blues are always great too. :D
I never would have thought of this color combination but it just works. I’ve always paired red with black and white. I’m on the verge of caving in an buying those atomic leggings. The fact that I have a wide bum scares me that the white cast will be more significant. I just purchased a black and white pair similar to those from Nordstrom from the Zella brand for only $38. I’ve never tried the Zella brand or seen it reviewed on your blog. Any thoughts? On sizing? What I hear the most is that the designer of Zella worked for Lulu so you can see the influence in design there at a more affordable price.
Yeah, it’s possible the white fading could be more than you like. If you find something else and get order over $200, at least shipping and returns would be free! As for Zella, they have some awesome prices! I’ve only tried their stuff a long time ago, and their smallest size didn’t fit me AT ALL. I just haven’t bothered to try again recently.
Nice punch. ?
Muscle memory?? ?
