MLEstyle

Made in USA

Most would agree that the athletic apparel giants, Under Armour and Nike, trump all of the “other” brands in the industry…and on every other day, I would totally agree with you. After all, who doesn’t love seeing that famous check mark on their body when they’re looking in the mirror at the gym?

And what about FILA? …Hmmmm…never has been a brand I was too crazy about until I saw these tight black spandex shorts in Nordstrom the other day. I had to get them! So I scooped up a very cute Juicy Couture bright blue workout tank to pair with the spandex, and I threw in the matching Juicy sweatshirt (yoga-style) for the winter workouts–I love planning ahead!

So today is the big day. Another outfit debut for the gym. I put my new Nike sports bra (highlighter yellow) on, my Juicy Couture tank top, and my tight black spandex shorts by, ohhhh who makes them again? …oh that’s right, Fila!

As I was getting dressed for the gym, I noticed writing on the inside of my new spandex shorts that said, “Made in USA”. Which made me wonder…needless to say, I was curious enough to strip off my Juicy Couture tank top and twist my Nike sports bra around to find that one label that said, “Made in Vietnam,” and the other, “Made in China.”

Hey…why don’t you try it on? Wearing a true American brand feels great!

God bless the American that made these tight black spandex shorts! A big shout out to the people at Fila who made the decision to manufacture their apparel in this great country!

Off to gym! Kisses!

Healthy + Happy…XoX
