Victoria's Secret Sport Bra

The motivation for me to finally start the blog I had been narrating in my head for a while was being chosen by Influenster as a #VSSportTester to try out Victoria's Secret's Sport line. I have received various products over the last few years to test, but none of them was impressive enough to me to warrant the start of a blog. This time I received a #VSSportBra and crop workout pants and was actually excited enough about them to write about them!

The sports bra is from their Incredible line. It has a cute design, but more importantly it is supportive for a high-impact workout. I am a runner (although I haven't been running as often as I would like to recently) so I tested out this bra on a recent run. It's annoying that there is a clasp in the back (hard to do by yourself but luckily my husband was home to assist), but I have found this on other high-impact bras as well. I was a little nervous of how it would function during my run, but I found it to be very comfortable. The bra has molded, padded cups so you actually have a shape while wearing it compared to the usual squished uni-boob look. Come on, you all know what I'm talking about! Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised with the bra. It looks like it sells for $54.50 on the Victoria's Secret website which is a little steep for me. I usually get my sports bras from GapBody during clearance sales. I will definitely watch for sales at Victoria's Secret though and hope to pick up another bra during a sale. I would say the material and function were similar to my GapBody sports bras, but the Victoria's Secret ones gave a better shape which is a nice change.

A little post run sweatiness in my new #VSSportBra!
As for the crop pants, I haven't gotten to wear them to run yet since it's been too warm, but I did wear them around the house. They are a very nice, thick material-no worries of seeing through these pants! They have a small pocked in the waistband which will be great to hold my key during my run. I liked the length of the pants too. I'm short (only 5'!) so some crop pants come down pretty low on me but these did not.

I was so excited to be selected for this freebie. I will definitely be getting a lot of use out of both of these items!
