This post is sponsored by CALIA by Carrie Underwood. I truly appreciate your support surrounding sponsored posts like the one you will find below. While the post is sponsored, I am personally sponsoring the giveaway. Hope you love the new apparel!
Did you guys know Carrie Underwood is launching a fitness clothing line!?
Her new line of fitness apparel, CALIA, is debuting today and will be available at DICK’S Sporting Goods stores nationwide. As someone who basically lives in gym clothes and as a big-time Carrie Underwood fan, I jumped at the chance to try out a few items from CALIA and have nothing but good things to say about the quality, style and functionality the clothing.
I was challenged to take some items from Calia and transform them from “studio to street.” I had so much fun playing around in my closet!
From Barre to Errands Around Town…
The first look I came up with features a Barre to Errands Around Town look!
For the barre workout, I paired a CALIA by Carrie Underwood Seamless Tank with a strappy black sports bra, black leggings and sneakers (for walking to and from the studio). This look easily transitions into a street look by adding boots, a colorful clutch, casual jacket and a beanie! I figured this would be a look I could wear after a barre workout to run around town since a lightweight tank and leggings are both items I frequently wear to my Pure Barre classes. A pair of boots, a denim jacket and a beanie are simple items you can easily throw on post-workout, so this look is a breeze!
The beanie is key for hiding “ponytail hair.” Haha!
A quick note about this tank: The tank has ruching along the sides that allow you to choose how long you want it to be – you can bunch it up or pull it down over your hips for additional coverage, which is how I chose to wear the tank since I have a such a long torso (and a growing baby bump)! I also love how it comes up a little higher on the neckline, which I appreciate from a modesty standpoint since I teach a lot of Spinning classes where I feel like I am bending over the handlebars of a bike!
From the Gym to Brunch…
The second look features the same comfy ruched CALIA Essential Tank but incorporates my absolute favorite item I had the chance to try from the new line: The Effortless Dip Dye Cocoon Sweater.
The gym look shown above is super comfy and features the CALIA Seamless Tank, CALIA Effortless Dip Dye Cocoon Sweater, CALIA Effortless French Terry Capri and sneakers.
It easily transitions into a brunch look by swapping out the sweatpants and sneakers for a pair of skinny jeans and flip flops!
But back to that sweater… The CALIA Effortless Dip Dye Cocoon Sweater is super long in the back (great if you’re wearing leggings!) and the material is incredibly soft and breathable. It’s the perfect springtime studio cover up that also translates well to out-of-the-gym looks, like this one I put together for a weekend brunch with girlfriends.
I paired the tank and cardigan with with skinny jeans, flip flops, an oversize clutch and a gold necklace and threw my hair in a loose braid for a quick and simple gym-to-lunch look.
I had a blast putting these outfits together and hope you enjoyed a little sneak peek into the new CALIA by Carrie Underwood fitness apparel line!

I didn’t know about Calia!!
But now that I do I think I definitely need a cocoon sweater and some leggings!
I have been following this collection since its announcement in December and can not wait to get into the store to buy some of these products. I have been specifically eying that cocoon sweater! Can not wait!
I am always on the lookout for light workout tanks!
I just found out that I’m going to be teaching barre classes, and I would love an extra set of leggings and a lightweight tank to add to my fitness wardrobe. Thanks for offering this giveaway!
Sweater and leggings for sure! super cute
Loving that sweater plus these flower power tights: http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=55690816&ab=CMS_CaliaCollection_Bottoms&cp=4406646.4413986.4413879.50676656
Essential Fitness Jacket and a pair of leggings!
I’m 30 weeks pregnant and have sadly outgrown most workout gear so new capris and a top would be awesome right now!
I love the dip dye sweater! I am always looking for flattering leggings for a pear shape!
I didn’t know Carrie Underwood was starting this line that is so cool! I have at least one hole in alllll of my workout tights so I would definitely invest in some. My sports bras are pretty old too so I would love a new one…Potentially some summer workout gear since I am going to be experiencing my first humid southern summer coming up!
I just started doing pure barre so I would love the leggings. The cocoon sweater would be perfect for Florida winters too!
I am in desperate need of new leggings. A cute top to wear post workout would be great too
If I won I would buy a new workout shirt and as many shorts/pants as I could. Need new clothes for Spring to run in. 🙂

The Essential Printed Panel Capris look fun! I’m a fan of capris in the gym and the little panel of color is just right. The second item I would purchase would be the seamless tank top. Also, the cocoon sweater caught my eye too!
