Affordable Workout Clothes from H&M #fitfashion

I am THE WORST when it comes buying fitness gear. Affordable workout clothes get me almost every single time. Target, TJ Maxx and Kohl's are all in the same shopping complex, and whenever I head that way, I get the look from my husband. It's not like he babysits my spending habits, he just knows I have no willpower. And no need for new fitgear.

But, #workclothes.

So when I got this in the mail, I just knew that bad things were going to happen:

I have always been a huge fan of H&M. Whenever I go into Chicago, I do what I can to pit-stop for some shopping. My new winter coat is from H&M, as is my favorite denim shirt. And now they have affordable workout clothes? Mind blown.

Mind especially blown when I saw this outfit:

I am loving the open-back tank top trend. They're all so incredibly cute—and functional. I tend to sweat when I exercise, especially when I teach PiYo Live, but I don't exactly work in a gym that would welcome the bra-only approach to fitness fashion. Nor would I really feel comfortable teaching in just a bra. So the backless workout tank seems to be a happy medium.

Obviously I ordered the outfit above.

And I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived.
It's every bit as cute in person, and the quality is top-notch.

I'm always hesitant to order fitness tights online because I am extremely picky. If I can see through them at all when I bend over, they go right back on the rack. When you're at the front of a class, you can't have that happening. And when you order online, you just never know.

So I wasn't sure. But again, I was pleasantly surprised.

The pants are perfection.

And the top is great, too.
It fits perfectly with plenty of support, and I love the contrasting colors and crossback details:

Plus, $60 for the whole outfit? I know, right. Sweet score.
I'm already planning my next purchase. Or at least making my wish list.

One thing that's been on my wish list for quite some time now: Crow pose. And guess what:

I have no idea where this came from, but I am finally able to get up and hold it. Make note: Without falling flat on my face.

I think it's all the PiYo Live.

Question: What does your favorite workout outfit look like? I need details!
