'Pin' Spired Outfit ~ Neon Workout

I usually like poultry, just not crow...although that's what I will gladly eat after my little 'Pinterest Outfit' experiment today. 

On December 5th last year I posted this on my Facebook wall:

"When did the gym become a fashion show? Where I come from (the boiler room under Assembly Hall) you work out to get stronger, faster, tougher...sweat is your reward and sweat (not makeup or matching bras and shoelaces) SWEAT is what makes you look good at the gym!"

While I had several people agree wholeheartedly with me, one smart little cookie (and former teammate/college athlete herself) made this comment:

"But you have to admit.. looking cute while getting fit is an added bonus. Now make-up while working out is a joke.... You can tell who is serious about working out by the amount of make-up they have on ;)"

After today, I would have to say SHE IS RIGHT! Looking cute does make you feel good, even if you are at the gym.  Which totally plays into the old adage I have always believed:

LOOK GOOD, PLAY GOOD!

(I know that isn't proper grammar, but jocks never claimed to be smart;)

One part of my original statement I WILL NEVER disagree with is that SWEAT is the ultimate 'accessory' for the gym.  I don't care what you're wearing, sweat makes the outfit at the gym!

Outfit Inspiration:

Neon Top, Dark Capris, Neon Shoes

My Quick 'Pin'Spired Version:

As a side note, I got these capris from Athleta and they are FABULOUS.  They are decently long with a nice, flat waist, sturdy, thick fabric and mesh behind the knees.  They were recommended to me by a friend who has THE best on-line shopping advice EVER (she needs to write a blog...uh hum, Abbey get on it;)

The shirt was a total steal that I randomly saw at Meijer for $7.50!

In case you are wondering where I stand on the makeup issue, yes I am wearing mascara and I ALWAYS wear earrings and my two rings, so I have those on too.

Lesson Learned: Crow doesn't taste so bad
