Summer is the time to show off those legs that you've been working so hard at achieving. Even if you're not at your goal just yet, a cute pair of workout shorts never did anyone any harm.

Get Your Butt in Gear: Patagonia Summer Wear
I love Patagonia's gear because everything I have from them is well made and comfortable.

I am in love with this W's Sleeveless Gal-Tee ($35.00) because the super soft jersey knit fabric of the Sleeveless Gal-Tee manages moisture and dries quickly to keep you cool.

Fabricated from three different types of fabrics, hence the name, engineered to wick the sweat away from your skin.
Wool Socks - These are Darn Tough
Merino wool really is the way to go when it comes to active wear, and socks are no exception. I just found this sock company named Darn Tough. They're a small company - they make all of their socks in their mill in Northfield, VT.
