I wasn’t going to do a post but after some recent Instagram try ons and general interest, I wanted to share the items from Athleta that will be on repeat for me this spring and summer.
What I love about Athleta is they bring back their favorites every year/or simply switch colors for the season. So if you love an item, you are still able to purchase, season after season or year after year.
Also, my life is getting increasingly more casual (hello full time work from home forever), so these items I can wear for fitness + life.
A big hit with y’all a few weeks ago was the Cosmic Flutter Romper – I actually got mine last summer, but never shared because it was basically sold out. This is an AMAZING ROMPER. I raved about it on stories but I’ll quickly give you the highlights:
– top is the same Powervita fabric we know and love from the elations
– it’s a high neck fit so nothing falls out
– the back zipper has a ribbon attached so you can zip yourself in + out
– shorts are a lightweight loose fitting fabric that doesn’t show sweat
– this does NOT wrinkle. I packed it on our PNW trip last year
– the shorts pockets have a full zipper and are completely functional
– ruffled detail at the waist is both flattering and fun.
– it is the MOST VERSATILE – easily pair it with casual sandals or sneakers for activities or or dress it up with jewelry, heeled sandals and a great bag.

Recent purchases from Athleta:
This past weekend I stopped into my local store for 1 thing…and walked out with 5. Four of the pieces are “new to me,” as I’ve never purchased the exact style before, and one is a favorite that I purchased in a new color.
Shown above are the new goodies. I initially went into the store to use my credit card reward on the Sundown Tie Dye Hoodie (middle) that Lizzie had been raving about…and let me tell you. It’s delightful. Now, I am not a big hoodie person nor am I a person to buy nicer sweatshirts – it’s just not my jam. This one though? SO DAMN GOOD. It’s 98% cotton so the weight of it is truly perfect for spring/summer. I bought it on Saturday and have worn it everyday since. I am only washing it today because Arlo’s dirty paws got on it.
Ultimate Love Proudly Bra (wearing small)
Part of this year’s Pride Collection. I cannot say no to rainbow tie dye. This is also the first Ultimate Bra I own, which is great for high impact for me (medium if you have a bigger chest). I’ll be testing this out with the shorts on my run tomorrow!
Ultimate Stash Pocket 7 inch short (wearing small)
Much prefer these to the fit of the Ultimate Stash Pocket legging I shared back in March. I love the stash pocket, and think these will be great for lifting, running and walking the dog. I’ll be testing them out during a run tomorrow and will report back.
Sundown Tie Dye Hoodie (wearing small)
I said enough above 🙂
Aurora Crop Rib Tank (wearing small)
I raved about this in last summer’s Athleta blog post (here), but I still love them and added another color. The bright orange is bold + fun for summer, which I adore. Catch me walking Arlo in my skort and tank.
Run with it 14 inch skort (wearing small)
My only issue with this is the XS fits my waist, but the built in shorts only fit my thighs in a small. I really like the skort and may get it tailored, but I’d rather not have it be skin tight!
And, the next few items aren’t new, but I love them, and have been wearing them for anywhere from 3 months to 3 years…
Conscious Crop (wearing medium)
first raved about in 2019 – but truly they’re great. I’ve acquired 3 over the years and wear them for everything from running to grilling out with friends (paired it with green joggers the other night).
Solace Bra (wearing small)
Still standing as my favorite Athleta bra ever. I have it in 3 colors and wear it for ALLL the activities. Love the strappy back
Elation 7/8 tight
Forever and ever. that’s all. IYKYK.
Anyway, this was longer than I meant it to be. As always, hit me with questions 🙂
