Changeroom Confession: Target

Target has a lot of workout gear on clearance, so I went to try some on. Cute workout gear gets me excited to exercise!

I've already talked about my thoughts on Target's Activewear here.  This post is just a changeroom confessional. I wanted to emphasis how important it is to try things on at Target, since the sizing is inconsistent. I grabbed everything that was available in an 18 or 20 at my local Target.

I like to go trying on activewear before I go to the gym -- that way I'm already wearing my workout clothes so I can see what the new stuff looks like on with what I already own. I can see if it covers what I want it to cover (e.g. the tops are long enough), if it 'goes' with what I have, and if it looks as good as/better than what I already own.

1. Here's what I was wearing already. This is a target top, and dharmabums bottoms.

2. I tried the same top I was already wearing in a different colour. I'm wearing a size 20. I wasn't feeling this colour on me. Find the top here.

3. I tried this on in a size 18. I really was liking the colour, but I wasn't convinced of the cut: it seemed simultaneously too loose and too tight. I didn't not feel cute in this. Find the top here.

4. I tried this on in a size 18. I very nearly got this, but it wasn't on sale enough for me to lay down the money for it. #cheapskate. Find the top here.

5. I tried this on in an 18. The stock image is of the same product in a different colour. This was too tight, especially around the gut. I felt super frumpy in this. Find this in blue here.

6. These leggings weren't on special, but I wanted to try them anyway. These are size 18. They are not compression leggings, but do feel comfortable. The waist band is looser than what I am used to, so I'm not sure how they'll stay up when I'm bouncing around. I'll keep an eye out for when they become discounted. Find the leggings here.

In the end, I didn't end up getting anything. That's okay, I'm only looking to get things I super love and would feel excited about exercising in. Otherwise, why waste my money, and limited environmental resources?
