Recently I took note of a lack of "transitional" clothing in my closet. I tend to buy pretty, fancy items or - on the extreme end of the spectrum - fitness clothing specifically for the gym. While I do have an inventory of great jeans, I lack what I refer to as "in between" clothing. You know what I mean... clothes that can take me from the gym to Starbucks easily - but also make it possible to pop into a department store without feeling out of place. Clothing I can move in that doesn't look out of place around town. With this in mind I turned to Athleta for a few new pieces. 

After placing a monster-sized order I've whittled it down to a few key pieces. A tunic or two, a very chic pair of skirted leggings, some sweaters that could be worn anywhere and a pitch perfect pair of black bootcut pants I can easily wear to pilates class or out and about town without skipping a beat. In fact, some of the pieces were so pretty and well made that it took some adjustment in my thinking to categorize them in my mind. Several of the sweaters are so nice that they could easily pair with boots and designer denim for a everyday wear.

Honestly, some of the items would be perfect for travel. These are pieces you can pack in your travel bag and wear walking the streets of Rome and look like a native. They are chic, classic and many are made of wrinkle free fabrics. It's nice to know there are niche brands like this with pieces that help fit into the modern lifestyle.
