Aussie Curves - Stripe

Like Mel, I have been eagerly looking forward to STRIPES week. But instead of going my normal route - which is generally an outfit that I would wear to work - I have decided to combine this weeks challenge with the 10,000 steps challenge that we are participating in at work.

As regular readers would be aware, I am in the process of packing and moving into my first home (when I eventually get a settlement date) and my wardrobe, for the most, is now contained within boxes strewn throughout my parents house. SO there was no way I was going to open them randomly and search for some newly purchased Big W Michelle Bridges active wear (I cannot review these items as I am yet to actually wear them. They are packed away, with the tags still on them). SO what does any self respecting shopping addict do - go shopping more new active wear.

Luckily for me, Target had 40% off active wear on the day that I shopped. I picked up two pairs of tights/pants and 2 tops plus socks and shoes. All but the striped Moda top you are about to see were from the "normal sized" ladies clothing range, which now goes up to size 20. I find Moda a little hit and miss style wise but I could not resist this striped purple number that goes perfectly with my new T30 active wear tights (the T30 is for exercise 30 minutes a day).

So here is my exercise outfit - stripes and all.

First time wearing the new top and tights - so comfortable.

I will be blogging about my 10,000 steps journey over the next 10 weeks - to inform, inspire and to keep the bastards honest (by bastards, I mean me).

In the meantime, check out the other lovely ladies' take on stripes....
