Fashion label Alice + Olivia (whom I love for their cute sequin pieces) is going all sporty on us. No, they aren't taking the Stella McCartney route with a line for a major sporting brand like Adidas or Nike. They are incorporating yoga pieces into their newest collection.

As a big fan of Ashtanga (a type of yoga) I was curious, so I checked out their website for more details, but it is under construction. I checked the next best place, ShopBop.com. ShopBop did have pieces from their "yoga" collection. Why the quotations? Maybe because these so called "yoga" pieces just look like regular clothes to me that were just re-branded to target a new audience.

Some pieces from the collection include bodysuits, leggings, and tanks with prices starting in the $68 zone. I have a few problems with this. First of all, bodysuits? The last time I wore a bodysuit was in the third grade ... during ballet class. I cringe at the notion of wearing a bodysuit to yoga! Can you imagine the pain of the bodysuit, um, riding up? Ouch. The second problem I have is paying over $20 for leggings I plan on sweating in. Leggings for fashion is another story, but being drenched in sweat doing downward dog in $68 cropped "yoga leggings" doesn't do it for me. I will just stick to my cheap target leggings and sports bras.

*Oh and don't you just love how ShopBop has the model in heels while modeling yoga pants?
