A Perfect Summer Day


This post was sponsored by Athleta through their partnership with POPSUGAR. While I was compensated by POPSUGAR to write a post about Athleta, all opinions are my own.

Who else is still a little incredulous that it’s finally summer? Like, I kind of believe a flash snowstorm is going to come out of nowhere.

What does a perfect summer day look like to you? To me, it’s going for a morning run and then spending the day at the beach. Recently, I was lucky enough to do that multiple times! We even started using the hashtag #LadiesOfAthleisure because we woke up for a workout one morning and stayed in workout clothes through brunch and late afternoon. My friends were a little uncomfortable with this, but I told them it was totally normal in my world.

I have so much love for this running outfit. I wore the top for the Brooklyn Half (13.1 approved is saying a lot!) and I rarely run in shorts, but these are my jam. The wide waistband is really flattering, and the length is flattering for a 30-something without looking frumpy. The Athleta website says the top provides “medium support” for A-B cups, but I still found it supportive with a C-cup.

Any weird tan lines from the top are completely worth it, since it’s so gorgeous.

You guys, it was a really hard day at the beach.

I love me a good triangle top, and the Aqualuxe bikini top was flattering while still being tasteful. And my stomach needs to catch up to my arms in the tanning department.

What does a perfect active summer day look like to you?

  • I got the shorts after you tweeted about them a few weeks ago. They are awesome - lightweight, comfy, and very flattering as you pointed out. And they have pockets <3!

  • I love the tops!
    My perfect summer day is sitting at the beach or with a float in the pool just reading the day away :)
