Black Friday Athleta purchases (PIP)

[sadlebred]

I went to the Atlanta Athleta on Black Friday to take advantage of their semi-annual sale. I hate Atlantic Station, but at least it can be on the way home from work without being at all out of the way if I go home "the back way." 2 hours of free parking isn't bad, but I still hate Atlantic Station. The best part is that I saved almost $85 between the 20% discount and my Banana Republic rewards I've been saving for an Athleta shopping trip! (You can use them at BR/Gap/ON/Athleta.)

I went in with the intention to buy the Polartech tight, and I did. I was in between a L and XL. The seat was way too tight in the L, so I went with the XL, The knees are a bit baggy, that that isn't unusual for me for tights. (I've been told by two orthopedists that I have very skinny knees. At least I have a skinny body part....). I have been wanting them for the last year to stand around at cold winter cyclocross races.




I also got the Tranquility pant. I tried them on spur of the moment. OMG! I'm in love! They fit like a glove. They are fleecy inside but not so fleecy that they will be really hot. They also make my butt look good. They are way too long; I'll get them hemmed this week.

How did I not know you were in ATL? A GTG is a must!

Good finds! I need some more winter running pants, my UA cold gear isn't cutting it with our cold/wind combo lately!

When isn the sale over? I was thinking about venturing out tomorrow.

tuggyruns The 20% off the entire store sale was only on Black Friday. They still have 20% off all sale items. The store had 6-7 huge racks of summer/fall sale items. They had all sizes of the fleece tights as of 5:30 Friday.

Love them! They look great too.

I bought another pair of runabout pants and a pair of kickbooty pants. They should arrive next week!

They're not for running, but speaking of fleecy tights...I got a 2-pair pack at Sam's yesterday for $7. SCORE!
