2022 Inspiration || Time For An Athleisure Refresh - Southern State of Mind Blog by Heather

Hello my friends and happy 2022! Who’s ready to start the year off with a bang? I am popping in today with some athleisure faves as part of a new series I am doing called 22 WAYS TO INSPIRE YOUR 2022. My goal on the blog every single time I post is to provide you with a little nugget of inspiration. But as I thought about starting a brand new fresh year- I wanted to be even more intentional.

So my plan is to share 22 ideas for helping you kick start your 2022. Just 22 posts focused on simple ideas to help you refresh your style, home, life and organization. Make no mistake- this is also going to benefit me because I will be forced to focus on 22 nuggets of my own life. 🙂 And I am hoping to bring you along in the process.

I don’t know about you, but I am in the mood to purge the old and refresh my closet with a few new finds. Time to take the worn and stained out of the closet and add a few new options into the mix. If you are in the same boat- I’ve linked some great options below. Because it really does help you want to work out more if you feel cute in your workout clothes. Hey, that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.

So here we go, let’s do this 2022!

Neoprene Tote || Leggings || Wrap || Water Bottle || Sneakers
Camo Leggings || Long Vest || Long Sleeve Shirt || Joggers || Strappy Sports Bra || Workout Shorts

Neoprene Tote ||
I’ve had my eye on a bag like this for months! Would be perfect for taking to the gym, to the pool or as a carry-on for taking to the gym or the pool while on vacation!

Leggings ||
These are BY FAR my favorite Amazon exercise leggings- I like them even better than the Lulu ones I own. They fit great, don’t stretch out, and have pockets to hold my phone and keys. I have three pair so far, but I find myself reaching for this plum color the most lately. True to size – I am a medium.

Wrap ||
I love a good wrap to throw on with leggings and a work out top. I also use these while traveling for a light layer for pajamas and lounging. This one seems like a great option with over 6,000 positive reviews and comes in lots of great colors.

Water Bottle ||
Just ordered this for myself! I love how it will be a visual reminder to drink more water- which I definitely need help with. With over 40,000 positive reviews- I think it will be a winner! I love my Yeti tumbler but I like that I can toss this into my bag and go.

Sneakers ||
I love my On Cloud Sneakers for a cute look with my athleisure clothes. I usually wear my Hoka Ones while I am actually doing cardio, but for just running around I like my Ons. Speaking of Hokas- I had a herniated disk in my back in summer 2020 SO MUCH PAIN) and these are the best shoes I have found for exercise after that injury.

Camo Leggings ||
Love this subtle camo pattern. I would wear them with a gray, pink or olive pullover.

Long Vest ||
I own this vest in black and wear it ALL THE TIME. It is a perfect athleisure layer- and I have my eye on the silver and plum ones.

Long Sleeve Shirt ||
This is a dupe of a Lulu shirt and I have the actual Lulu version of this top. I love the loose flowy fit and how it is a little longer in the back to cover your bottom. Just a really good layer with leggings and a vest or wrap.

Joggers ||
I own these joggers in black and they are great for when you want to change it up from regular leggings.

Strappy Sports Bra ||
Some of my work out tops are open back so I think a strappy sports bra is a must for those. This one has over 7000 positive reviews.

Workout Shorts ||
I own these shorts in white and like them even better than some of my Lulu ones. I did size up to a Large because I didn’t want them too short or tight (I am usually a medium/ size 6)

Alright- off to workout! Or at least look cute wearing workout clothes.

xoxo-
