I rarely wear wild prints. And by rarely, I mean almost never. In the last year or so, I just started getting into color – or colors other than black, white and the occasional pink – so prints are a big step (ok, leap) for me. But when I received an opportunity to try out Actio926’s line of activewear, I found myself completely drawn to a pair of the wildest print pants EVER.
When the pants came, I was nervous to try them on. I kept thinking, oh my god, these have SO MUCH print on them. But when I put them on, I was completely transformed. It was like the pants had some sort of special power. I found myself wanting to dance in the mirror, to strike a yoga pose, and jump up and down. Yeah, the power of the pants was that special.
Needless to say, I LOVE my new Actio926 Rock the Course Leggings. They take me completely out of my comfort zone and make me feel like taking my yoga practice to new heights. It’s like putting them on inspires me to get moving.
And if the pants aren’t inspiring enough, the Actio926 story will make you want to fly! Actio926 was started by Stephanie Radkay who wanted to honor her late mother’s passion and talent for fashion design. Clearly the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Read more about her story and check out this amazing line of activewear.
And if you want some pants that will make you wanna dance…..enter to WIN some! 😉 YAY!
*Thanks to Fit Approach and Actio926 for providing this opportunity. The pants were provided by Actio926 but the opinions expressed in this post are my own.

February 11, 2015 at 9:51 amMy wardrobe – both work and active wear – is 90% black, grey and shades of black and/or grey. I have picked up a few color pieces but rarely make it to the check-out counter with them. I overthink it! I’d love to try out some color! 🙂

Char says
April 7, 2015 at 11:16 amI am the EXACT same. I most often wear black and I took a leap by getting these pants! I’ve gotten so many compliments on them that now I’m wondering why the heck I wasn’t so bold earlier! (Ok, if we’re being honest, I probably need to keep pushing on my comfort zone to make it happen more often haha.)
