Okay, my darlings, there is nothing that gets Mother Blogger in a better frame of mind than yoga. And one should always look cute, too, when they are performing a downward facing dog with you sit bones higher than a kite.
If you have a bit of a tummy like moi, you will want to check out what I just bought from Athleta, an online site owned by Gap Inc. Brands.
These capris have been updated with a more body conscious fit for your performance lifestyle. We created these minimal two-in-one pieces out of our breathable, wicking and quick-drying Velocitek™ fabric to be revolutionary one-shot options for those days when you want to wear a skirt over leggings. With a shared waistband for a low-profile design, these capris are below-the-knee-length. Gusseted crotch eliminates chafing and provides breathability. Pocket at back right of capri stashes your house key. Capri inseam: 17"; Skirt outseam in size medium: 14".
Now how cute are these? These puppies might be $69, but they're worth your peace of mind.
Yoga pants: $69
Valium: Okay, had to look this one up, just for the record: Less than a dollar a day.
Peace of mind: Priceless!

As summer approaches, don't get caught without a haute and trendy cardigan or blazer. Indoor air-conditioning can take the chill off the high temps, but a sleeveless sheath dress with goosebumps is not an attractive look. From white blazers to cashmere or cotton cardigans, this is an essential piece of layering for your summer wardrobe.
