GURU Holiday Fav’s Sweepstakes Day Ten: Athleta!

19 Dec

Only three days left in the GURU Fav’s Sweepstakes and today, we’re getting into shape (and looking good) with Athleta!

When I work out, I want my clothing to be comfortable, look good and most importantly, do some of the work too. Which is why today’s GURU Fav is the Long Sleeve Twist Top from Athleta (Center Court Lower Level)!

Made with runners in mind, it fits tightly around your torso, so if you want a looser fit, get the next size up. As you can see below, there are multiple colors to choose from, no matter your style.

Mine fits perfectly and even though I wear it constantly, it still wears perfectly even after dozens of washes. I love it for this time of year with the cold weather.

The seamless design won’t chaff and it’s great as a base layer in this chilly weather- I love the thumb holes for this very reason!  Plus, it’s super soft and comfortable and because the special Meryl Skinlife fabric whisks away the moisture, so you stay dry and odor-free.

I can’t say this shirt will make you want to work out more, but just knowing that I have a good looking, comfortable top like this helps me get out the door.

The ultimate work out top? Maybe. But I can say it would make someone very happy if they unwrapped it this season!

If you’re headed to The Streets at Southpoint today, I suggest you stop Athleta to check it out for yourself and then take a few short steps toward the table set up nearby in Center Court near the Welcome Center .  You can enter to win a $50 Athleta gift card to purchase anything in their store! All you need to do is sign up for The Club and you’ll be entered to win!

Are you an Athleta fan? maybe you’re a proud owner of the Twist Top? I would love to hear what you think about my GURU Fav’s from Athleta by commenting below!

And when you do, you’re automatically entered in the GURU FAVORITE THINGS SWEEPSTAKES to win a $150 retailer gift card to Athleta or any one of the GURU Fav stores that I showcase on the blog!  You get to choose which one. One lucky reader will randomly win! Just comment at the end of each of my posts, now through this Friday, 12/21/12. Official Sweepstakes Rules can be found here: OFFICIAL RULES.

    ATHLETA! I love athleta. Their tops are the BEST for running and working out in. The intention tank and the equator tank are my favorites!

    The thumb holes sell me! I really love the design and material of this shirt too. Throw in the variety of colors and the whisk away moisture component and you pretty much have a perfect shirt!

    I absolutely adore Athleta clothing. I work at a gym and it is great to be comfortable, stylish and have great quality clothing!

    Guru-you are picking all my favorite stores, and introducing me to new ones that I love just as much now! I have several pairs of pants from athleta, but no tops…yet! My newest obsession from there are their polartec power stretch pants-they are lined with fleece and so cozy!

    Very nice top!

    I would LOVE to have some of Athleta’s workout tops. Last month I completed the foundations of crossfit and I can’t wait to start working out more, especially with some sweet clothes!

    Would love some clothes from Athleta : ) This is a gorgeous top – love the bright color. Just signed up at my local gym so this would be perfect.

    I do Zumba workouts so this would be a very comfortable shirt to wear while dancing for an hour! I have never heard of Atheta, so this would be a new store for me to try when buying workout clothes. The colors are are very gorgeous and they look very comfortable. Thanks for the cool giveaways! Love shopping at the Streets at SouthPoint!

    I’ve just started getting back into shape, which made me realize just how few athletic clothes I have. I’ve got to shop at Athleta — I love that top in the yellow/green!

      Amanda, you would be amazed at how much a nice workout outfit (or two.. or three) can make you WANT to work out more. Or at least, not dread it as much.

    I work out every day and would love to look good at it!

    I was SO excited when they built an Athleta at Southpoint! I used to work there and was upset it didn’t come sooner. Oh well, just more reason to go to the mall :) New work out clothes are always motivation to work out, and with a wedding on the way that’s exactly what I need!

  21. Deborah Lincicum December 20, 2012 at 6:56 am #

    I love the style and the colors.

  22. Karen December 20, 2012 at 1:19 pm #

    What a great top! Looks comfortable and love the thumb holes for the cool weather!

    Thank you for sharing this. I love this top…I just shared with my husband, as I’d love one under the tree!

  24. Aliyah December 21, 2012 at 6:31 am #

    These tops are nice for the winter time and for when I start working out for a better and healthier life style!! The design is very unique, will be adding to my wishlist :)
