It's time for another edition of: Grace is Not a Hat Person.


Say hello to my new momiform. Aside from a few breathers to wash and dry my new Albion Fit apparel this week this outfit has been on repeat and repeat again for the past several days. Stigmas against wearing workout gear in public even if your workout accidentally slips your mind and never actually happens? None here. I genuinely didn't think it was possible to love a pair of workout pants more than the last pair they sent but they came out with a few new items for their fall line and these electric blues are incredible. They don't lose their shape even after logging many, many hours on my person, they don't shrink down to Julia's size if they accidentally go through the dryer one or three cycles too many, and they are really thick which is greatly appreciated because it's cold in the mornings and I don't know any ladies that particularly enjoy a sheer pair of pants on their bod. I really hope they come out with more colors (black? maroon? yes and yes please!).

Albion Fit also sent their new East Coast Hoodie which is equally great because it has thumb holes, is really stretchy, blocks the wind like a boss, and is lightweight enough to wear for the entirety of my little runs which is great because I hate stopping, locking the breaks on the chariot, stripping off a layer, explaining to the kids that we'll be moving in one hot second, and then trying to regain momentum to trot/walk again. It's so comfortable that I've even justified wearing it with regular street clothes and no one's stopped and arrested me for mixing clothing genres because it blends right in.

So! Here's what we've got going on for you fine peoples ...

1. The coupon code camp20 is good through November 4th and will take $20 off any order over $100.

2. And if you're wanting to stretch and exercise those giveaway muscles you have a chance to win a $100 credit to Albion Fit right here, right now.

Raffle it up. And as always, I hope YOU win.

    1. haha. it's just a super long shirt (from Gap) that I happened to be wearing when Simon was home early enough to able to take pictures one evening last week. I guess I should've clarified - sorry!!

  7. Looove the cobalt go long leggings. A step up from my black yoga pants, but still forgiving to my not-back-into-pre-pregnancy-pants self!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Love their go long crew shirts in all the colors!

    ReplyDelete
  9. I love their tanks... perfect for getting my yoga on ;)

    ReplyDelete
  10. I would love some capris or leggings for pretending I work out too.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Sweet giveaway! I would love some long sleeved tops and pullovers for running in the winter.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Totally cute! And I must beg to differ with you that you are a hat person. My hair is too poofy, even when braided/tied back to pull off a hat. That doesn't mean I don't try, but I look entirely ridic doing it. I'm gonna be needing some serious workout clothes once this kid gets outta my uterus and I'm glad to find this gear.

    I like the Go Long Leggings in Cobalt. I need more color in my wardrobe (ummm, my husband, when last he was home, asked if I had recently become Amish since taking my early retirement from my job (not a real retirement, there's no money mind you, it's just because I keep gestating repeatedly and day care is too darn expensive).

    ReplyDelete
  16. I love the leggings. I want to wear leggings, but can't ever seem to find any athletic leggings that are thick enough.

    ReplyDelete
  17. the fact that you workout with three children in tow (or in lead?...) inspires my unmarried, childless hiney to get up and move a little! thank you.

  23. I love all of their stuff. My yoga top's still going strong. And no, it's never seen me do any yoga at all. Might try some of the pants though. Those look awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Love the colors—I too live in workout gear, regardless of whether the workout has happened!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hmm... my favorites? Tough choice. I will go with the Go Long Leggings and the Signature Hoodie. :)

  75. That East Coast Hoodie is right up my hoodie-lovin' alley, but the Go Long Crew is great, too- I hate normal crew neck, but it's wide/low enough that I won't feel like I'm choking if I just turn my head. And thumb holes. Always and forever, thumbholes.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Those pants are awesome. And thumb holes are my favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Words cannot express how cute I think Albion stuff is. I LOVE those leggings you've got on, Grace, and also the long peplum style jacket, the petal pant, the Go Long Crew (which I already have in navy but clearly need in more colors)....I could go on and on!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  86. I am desperately in need of cold weather running clothes, since I've never run in cold weather before.

    ReplyDelete
  87. i recently had to purge my closet of everything that didn't fit thanks to mommy weight that just won't quit, and stuff that just screamed "you're trying way too hard to look young and hip". as such, my stash of momiform clothes needs some help- i'm loving those charcoal illusion capris. it was probably the word "illusion" that appealed the most ;)

    ReplyDelete
