From Power Hour to Happy Hour

How to create outfits that transition from working out to a night out in a matter of minutes without sacrificing style, comfort, or time!

“You can’t have it all” might be true when it comes to work-life balance, but when it comes to your wardrobe, we would like to politely disagree. Fitting in a day of classes or work, exercise, and a night out with friends can be tricky. What to wear can be the least of your worries.

I met with Nina, a local fashion icon, to design outfits featuring Southern Athletica’s Bliss leggings that demonstrate how easy it is to be comfortable, fashionable, and to find the beauty in simplicity.

Here are 3 looks that are easy to replicate and all have 5 items or less. 

Look One:  Silk Tank // Southern Athletica Bliss leggings // Slip-on Mules // Laurel Hill Necklace and cuff

Look Two: Black Halter Bodysuit // Tweed Blazer with rolled up sleeves // Southern Athletica Bliss leggings // Espadrilles // Laurel Hill Necklace and cuff

Look Three: Oversized silk top // Southern Athletica Bliss leggings // Black Leather Flats // Laurel Hill Necklace and cuff


Tips and tricks:

1. Choosing one statement piece can add interest without requiring a lot of effort. Nina chose her Laurel Hill necklace and cuff and they look beautiful in all 3 looks.
2. Layers - be it a sweater, blazer, or jacket, a little structure can take basics to a different level.
3. Never underestimate the power of a classic silk blouse.
4. Espadrilles. Need I say more?


You don’t have to carry a rolling suitcase to evolve with your busy day. Throw a few of these staples into your yoga bag ready to pair with your leggings, and you’re ready for anything the day brings.
