I love Lucy

Last night we did something as a family that we rarely do... we went to a crowded mall... at night... and didn't have dinner until 8:00pm. When your child normally starts his bedtime routine at 7:30, this is the ultimate rebellion against parenthood and child rearing. While at the mall, we went into two of my favorite stores, C. Wonder and Athleta. I didn't find anything I "had to have" so we wandered around and stopped into a new store, Lucy.

I love Lucy. 

I wasn't able to leave this store empty handed. I ended up with a pair of running/compression capri leggings and two tank tops - and here's why:

They have cute, feminine work out apparel that offers the same benefits my husband's gear does at a lower price than lululemon. They have clothes for every type of workout and woman. Whether you do yoga, spin classes, marathons or hiking. There's something for activity in a variety of colors.

I purchased the Perfect Core Capri Legging in black and two very lightweight tank tops in hot pink and neon. The tanks are light and loose. They don't look sloppy but they're not skin tight, either. While it was cheaper than lululemon, Lucy isn't cheap. I am looking forward to their sale of winter items soon as those can pricey!

I ran today with my new leggings and one of the tank tops and I have to say that I felt really good. The pants lived up to the hype, no chafing. The tank top, although sopping wet, didn't look wet and I don't think the other people in the gym saw how truly sweaty I was (or at least I hope they didn't).

If you haven't been to Lucy, you need to pop in. They have fitbits, socks, water bottles and apparel. The salesperson said the socks are her favorite item so I may be heading back soon for a couple of pairs.
