Well, it’s starting to get chilly and before we know it, the temperatures will be good and cold. BRRRR, I am not looking forward to that.
Even though, I am not looking forward to colder temperature, I am all about being prepared so, it is time to find clothing that can brave the elements with me.
I was fortunate enough to get a chance to test out two new pieces from the Victoria Secrets workout line. The new Victoria Secret’s Sports Bra and workout pants.
I am going to share my experiences with you, and I am also going to share what I loved about these workout clothes and what I wish were different.

Need some help lifting the girls 😎 this new sports bra from @victoriassecret maybe just what you’ve been looking for #influenster #vssportsbra
First, this sports bra has tons of padding and support, this is a marked difference from the normal sports bra you buy in the store.
The straps have tons of cushion and the bra has the support that you often miss when you are wearing the traditional sports bra. I know personally that I often find myself a full C cup, sagging when I wear my other workout gear, so this was a drastic improvement.
The product also made me feel more confident. When I did exercises that would normally send my breast in opposite directions, everything pretty much stayed in place.
Style, Options and Different Kinds of Support
The other thing that I loved about this bra is that it comes in different support types, so you have options. It’s not one size fits all, so don’t have to choose style over comfort and vice versa. An extra bonus, is this bra comes in bright colors and multiple styles.
If you can’t already tell, I was really happy with this bra.
It is definitely a marked improvement over what I usually wear. I also felt warm, without feeling hot even with all the cushion.

What I wish was different –
I wish there was just a little less padding but, on a scale from one to ten, that is only like a three, so I can live with it.
The only other thing I wish was different was the racer back. The back was a little hard to get in and out of, but when you think about all the support you get, this is not big deal either.
Here is the video if you want the play by play, here you will be able to get a better look at the bra and pants set. I talk about the craftsmanship and you get to see some of the other features.
Next, the workout pants.
These pants are great, not only are they comfortable, they are also warm.
I have to tell you, I totally fell in love with these pants. I wore them when I did the Breast Cancer Three Day. On Day 2 of the walk, I got caught in the rain. I mean it was pouring outside, and I was wet everywhere except my legs. Those pants kept me warm and they kept me dry. I was really impressed!
The pants never made me hot and I was really, really happy with my whole experience with these pants.
Here are some other great features: they have a string inside so you never have to worry about your pants falling down, another confidence booster. This feature is great especially when you are losing weight or if you are running. They are made very well, and the material feels amazing. I give these a very high recommendation.
There is only one thing I would change about these pants.
They don’t have a pocket, but that was the only thing I wish was different and in the big scheme of things I would happily overlook that.
My verdict is Victoria Secret’s new workout clothing is well worth the money.
I would buy them again in a second and I would recommend them to others.
One thing I forgot to mention is that I washed these pants at least 10 times and the bra at least seven times. Both of them, still look and feel as great as they did the first time I wore them.
Victoria Secret’s new workout line gets a thumbs up. If you are looking for some great workout gear check them out.
Disclosure: The opinions here are my own, but I received these items for review as part of the #Influenster program.

Perfect time for this post. I stepped outside this morning and realized it is time to invest in new Fall gear.

Thanks @Rachelle as much as we may not like it, we really do have to prepare for colder temps. This usually means warmer clothes. These clothes are great, I hope you get a chance to check them out.
