workout wear

it started when i had a yellow car. i so identified with that car and that color i started buying yellow stuff - yellow & black cross-trainers, tank top, shorts, etcl. then it expanded to other color palettes after i realized that work out wear should just be as fashionably attractive as casual or formal wear. and that meant coordinating colors across the apparel and accessories. so i started building up a wardrobe.

this is representative of what cc wears during work-out. i mix-match brands. and i dont mind using value brands. BUT i always use nike gym shoes, particularly the nike free 7.0 cross trainers and the air zoom 180. i love the 7.0 because they have established this as one of the main models that gets updated with colors and fabrics. i still have other gym shoes not shown here to match some other color combinations. looking for the right shoe colors and water bottles was most challenging. and that meant waiting till somehow, i see it appear on the racks or the shelves. and that constitutes an "aha" phenomenon!

i get excited seeing how the colors coordinate. first row would be the hand towels, followed by the tank tops, the shorts, the water bottle over the shorts and the gym shoes. vertically, each would be a day at the gym. and of course, i try to vary these everyday. that also translates to having to 'assemble' the pieces and pack them every time. vanity is tiring.

i was tempted to have matching gym bag colors but i had to draw the line. besides, i carry the gym bag outside the gym, when im in my casual or office clothes. so it needs to coordinate with those clothes, not with work out wear. hehehe.

i know, i know. this is somehow such a dead giveaway. who cares? i love it.
