Adidas buys
As attractive as my Nike leather trainers are, they're not really meant for working out, so today I got a pair of Adidas from the Novena outlet.
Frankly, the silver bits are a bit too "space-age" for my taste (though it's not as bad as the pair that was completely silver), but this was affordable and comfortable, and I guess nobody really looks at your shoes at the gym. Right?
My gym gear has also turned out to be too much for my large, stylish totes, so I needed something very light and very roomy. I didn't want a gym-bag gym bag. In the end I got this cross-body bag.
It looks quite structured in this photo, but it isn't really. It's soft and floppy in fact, and the pleats don't look so neatly ironed. The inside is a dark purple that contrasts very nicely. (There was a duffle too, which would hold a LOT, but really too big for somebody my height.)
The amusing thing about this bag is that there are 2 large slots, one at each end of the shoulder strap. SA says they are for water bottles. Er, I don't know about her, but I wouldn't carry 2 1-litre bottles of water to the gym (or to the yoga studio - adilibria is a yoga collection). There are also 2 strappy things, one on the shoulder strap and another on the side of the bag (visible in the photo). SA says they are for water bottles too! ROTFL. For the record, I carry a small water bottle only since there are always water coolers around.
ETA: I think I've solved the mystery :) The 2 straps are for strapping on your yoga mat! Yet another thing I never carry around...
