Summer is almost here and if the weather where you are is anything like the weather in Charlotte right now, there’s no denying we’re in for a H-O-T summer. If your workout wardrobe is in dire need of a summertime refresh, I think you’ll love this afternoon’s giveaway from Lorna Jane.
I am a big fan of the brand (you can see a few of my Lorna Jane favorites featured on the blog in the following two blog posts: Favorite Workout Capris & Tights and Best Sports Bras for Small Chests) and since the previous Lorna Jane giveaway I featured on the blog back in December last year had nearly 3,000 entries, I have a feeling you guys love Lorna Jane, too!
I actually had the chance to meet Lorna Jane last summer at the IDEA World Fitness Convention and walked away impressed by her strong work ethic, creativity and business acumen. It takes someone incredibly passionate and business-savvy to create a multi-million dollar business and after hearing her speak, it’s clear to see that she truly does live and breathe the company’s MOVE, NOURISH, BELIEVE mantra.
Plus, she sure knows how to make some high-quality workout apparel that’s both functional and cute. High fives all around!
Lorna Jane Summer Finds
With springtime temperatures already making their way into the 90s, I am pretty sure this pregnant lady is in for one heck of a sweaty summer which is why I was grateful when my friends at Lorna Jane sent me a new pair of shorts and a lightweight, flowy tank to review.
First, let’s chat about the Macy Run Shorts. They are, without a doubt, the most comfortable pregnancy-friendly workout shorts I’ve tried on to date. The super-thick band doesn’t dig into my sides and the drawstring waist makes them incredibly forgiving.
Bonus: I’m thinking these shorts will be fantastic post-pregnancy, too! They don’t ride up and the hot pink color is right up my alley. Plus, there’s a little zip pocket in the back which is perfect for a house key if you’re wearing the shorts on a run or walk outside.
The Lie Low Excel Tank is made of mesh fabrics making it ultra lightweight and fast-drying. Perfect for spinning and interval workouts!
The criss-cross mesh detailing in the back is not only cooling, but it also allows you to show off an adorable strappy sports bra. I personally love this feature, especially when I pair the tank with a unique and functional bras like the Amber Sports Bra I’m wearing above.
Can you tell I’m on a big mesh-loving kick right now? The sports bra comes with removable padding and supports my chest with style!
I also had the chance to try out a new pair of Lorna Jane tights which I had a feeling I’d love since another pair of their tights made my “PBF Favorites” list last year!
The Existence Panelled Tights have a soft wide waistband (again, very pregnancy-friendly) and the material is both smoothing and breathable. They’re flattering but also functional and held up well for me in both a spinning and barre workout.
I paired them with the Bambini Sports Bra (another cute and supportive find!) and the Kate Gym Tank, a soft, relaxed-fit tank that flows over the body and is truly comfortable enough to wear to bed at night!

I would totally buy a new pair of quality tights that would be versatile enough to wear while lifting, running or doing yoga! When I find a pair I love I tend to wear them constantly and it’s about time for a new pair! 🙂
I desperately need some new sports bras and tanks! I would try the Lie Low Excel Tank and the Bambini Sports Bra.
Who wouldn’t love this?! New workout gear is always a must. Yes please 🙂
I was gifted one lorna jane sports bra by a friend and it’s easily my favorite one; would LOVE the opportunity to invest in some more of her awesome apparel!
I would get a few pairs of those shorts for sure!
I’m in love with the Move F/L tights and would absolutely buy them with my gift card!
Anything with mesh accents too! I love trying new workout clothing brands.
Hi Julie! I love the outfits you are wearing! I would definitely get the Amber Sports Bra if I won the giveaway and I would get the Hero 7/8 Tight, the Bea-YOU-tiful tank, the Weekend Tank, the Lea Ultimate Support F/L tight, and the Alice Sports Bra! I think that would just about cover the gift card! 🙂 Great post as usual. I love that you have giveaways!
probably the shorts you are wearing and some tanks!
need post preg workout clothes!
I’m in desperate need of some new sports bras! Those are always the last item I think about buying!

All of the clothes you are wearing are adorable!
I too am pregnant (a few weeks behind you!) and in desperate need for new pregnancy workout clothes! I would love to try the Macy Run Shorts, I have a feeling I would live in them. I also love Lorna Jane’s leggings and could definitely use a new pair of the Amy 3/4 tights.
I would buy lots of new workout tops with open backs for the summer!
SOOOO many cute things: here are a few I like: Nitty Gritty 3/4 tight; Charger 3/4 tights; Nora Excel Tank (yay for a tank that is not cut sooo low under the arms. I am short, and when I buy a tank to fit me, it almost always is that sporty tank cut that means the armholes are to the middle of my torso – not a cute look for me; and possibly something like the Sally Kick Short (still trying to convince myself I can wear shorts to the gym)
Love the bright colors!
I’m in desperate need of a god sports bra or two (I currently won two and rotate through them like crazy – laundry day can never come fast enough). Thank you for such a great giveaway!

Sports bra! My little guy is almost one and definitely need a new one that fits better and isn’t stretched out.
I would definitely snag a couple pairs of the macy run shorts and the bambini sports bra! I don’t own any Lorna Jane, but it all looks awesome!
I love the storm running shorts. I need a new pair, and also to be less boring.
I desperately need some new sports bras, but I think I would be too tempted to get the Existence Panelled Tights! I love those! So cute!

Hard to choose! I’d probably go for the lie low excel tank. I like the back!
