About a month ago, I found the dog chewing on my favorite sports bra by Handful Bras. This bra originally came into my possession while visiting an athletic shoe store for running. Their motto, "flatter, not flatten", lived up to its name, while giving fabulous support! The comfy bra is so durn cute too. All this to say, I wasn't happy to find damage done to my favorite sports bra.
I sent the company a silly Instagram video message in my best Leia from Star Wars voice, explaining my puppy woes and asked for help.
"Help me Handful Bras, You're my Only Hope"
The Bra & The Surprise
The surprise was this fun reversible tank top! It can scoop in the front or scoop in the back, depending on which side of the bra you'd like to feature. As for the capri leggings, I received those at the same athletic store in Georgia. They are a stretchy high-waisted fit with a good dose of tummy control, which I especially enjoy right now.

The "Flippin' Awesome Tank": Scoop In The Back
Scoop In The Front
The attractive tank snugly sits low on your hips, but has a nice loose fit everywhere else. It's the perfect start to some updates for my athletic wear. I would say it's complete but I want one more set of each: the legging, the tank and the bra so I can wear one while the other is in the wash!
So should I be thanking the dog for chewing up my bra, which lead to a new tank, which led to me getting back into some movement for a change? I suppose I should.
As for keeping myself motivated to move, I am considering an online yoga resource that I learned about while visiting Jodie at J's Touch of Style ! Whatever it takes right? What do you do to keep moving and have you tried this fabulous line by Handful Bras?
Chrissy you are a yogi!!! Great poses and you are rockin' this look my friend! I especially love that tank. Fab post my friend!

Thank you sweet friend. This company is so great! The tank is $20 right now!!
DeleteOoh I love your workout outfit! That hot pink bra looks fab peeking out from the white top. And I'm impressed at your yoga skills! I could never hold crane pose long enough for someone to take a photo! Ha!!
ReplyDeleteHaha. I think that crane pose lasted all of 5 seconds...just enough for the picture! The sports bra is fabulous. I think everyone should try one on!!
DeleteYou nailed this post and those poses. I’m doing my post on Monday and it won’t be near as well done. Love the hot pink you felexible, fantastic babe!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you my friend! And you're crazy. I can't wait to see your post on Monday because I know it's going to be amazing as always!
DeleteWell, look at you go!! You're quite the yogi, Chrissy!! I can't wait to get back on track with my yoga once we get moved. I swear lifting boxes and packing is aerobic activity lately, and I'm exhausted at the end of the night!!!

I try Jodie, but it's hard to be consistent. How is that move going?
DeleteI love that hanging of that white shirt. It's so feminine.
ReplyDeleteWHY do dogs love chewing on sweaty clothes??? I'm forever making sure my workout clothes are in a basket with the lid on it so they dont get chewed up
I don't know but it's gross, right?? a lid on the laundry is smart!
DeleteThose are some cute athletic clothes and you are S-T-R-O-N-G to be able to do that half headstand post thingy. Go girl!

haha. I still have a little left in me from my bootcamp days I guess. And Lisa you would love these sports bras!
DeleteNow that's great customer service! I'm so impressed with that company (and your yoga poses)! Love your bight pink sports bra and that top is so cute!

I agree! I was so impressed! And I couldn't believe I could still do some of those poses. I'm trying to work them back in on a daily basis here.
DeleteMy poor 61 year old body is aching just looking at incredible, fit YOU in all of those yoga poses. PC and I have started using yoga to being our workouts but our yoga and yours are two different things entirely. And girl, you look fantastic. Darling tank!! Love the soft, rounded draped neckline and the way it stays put at the hips. So feminine and yet functional!! I really like the idea of flatter not flatten...sports bras just squish my girls all up.
ReplyDeleteHaha, Leslie you made me crack up this morning. Thank you for that. And I have to say that those athletic clothes mask a good bit of rolls going on these days. The tummy control combined with the loose fitted top around the waist...I love it. But you're inspiring me to live up to your kind words!! And yes to the flatter not flatten!
DeleteNice morning routine, dear!

DeleteThank you Julie. I can't balance for very long but I'm trying! And our dog loves sunglasses as well! Grrrrr. I know it will pass and I try to remember to keep things out of her reach!
ReplyDeleteYou look so amazing! I'm glad you're able to get a little time for yourself. You'd never know you had a thing to hide. How nice of the company to replace your bra and send you some goodies! The tank looks practical and flattering.
ReplyDeleteLook at your poses! You look like a total yogi! Loving this workout gear!! I need to try that bra!!

What a great tank. I have one sports bra right now since my dryer destroyed the hooks on my other (I forgot it was in my load of wash) so I need to replace it!

Agree! Depending on your active lifestyle, you should wear a sports bra that gives you the support you need.
