The optional theme for The Fit Dish (hosted by Jill Conyers @ JillConyers.com, & Jessica Joy @ TheFitSwitch.org) is…Your Flat-Self Photo Collection!
I was mildly confused about this at first, and was about to do a pixelated version of myself (2D video games and the world of SNES, anyone?! No one? Okay fine.)
Just for fun, I made my own little characters over at Chanrio! :P
But alright, back to the theme at hand–your flat-self photo is an overhead shot of your favorite workout outfit(s)! :] I thought it was a fun theme, so I made several! <3
Since you know I have a mess of different hobbies/interests, I kinda decided to make one for each(-ish; I left out BJJ because I just wear my gi, although something like the first two outfits is usually what I throw on underneath!)! :]
Without further delay, I present to you…my flat-self photo collection! :]
The first photo in the collection is very near and dear to my heart, because animal rescue is something I feel very strongly about. <3 My free time (if I ever get any of that) is often spent volunteering at no-kill shelters. Add in a piece that helps to provide clean water to someone and we have ourselves a major winning set! <3
I bought the “Support 2nd Chances” tank top in the Twirly Girls studio, and some of the proceeds go to the local animal shelter! The Women’s Ethiopia Running Capris are from Janji (just as a note, I received this pair for free, and there’s a post coming soon about em’ because I am in love). The chapstick is a Charitabalm from MyLipStuff, where 30-50% of the proceeds to each balm goes to a different charity for animal welfare! They have vegan lip balm options too!

Women’s Ethiopia Running Capris | Janji
Charitabalm in “Compassionfruit” | MyLipStuff
I like wearing this one to the gym when I’m lifting weights, because wearing shorts and doing squats sometimes gives me an unnecessary/unwelcome audience. D:
No Limits Tank Top | Chase Infinite
RBX Galaxy Capris | TJ Maxx
Hydroflask Insulated Water Bottle (affiliate link!)
This is a standard outfit for pole, and if I’d thought about it enough and knew where my iTac or Dryhands was (moving kinda sucks), there would be some of that in this picture too. :O
Champion Sports Bra | myfriendgavethistome!
Ruched Booty Shorts | Walmart (they were $3!)
Coconut Milk Lip Balm | eos
Hydroflask Insulated Water Bottle (affiliate link!)
Black Tank | Somewhere in Asia, but I adore Old Navy tanks too!
Sky Blue Pareo | Hawai’i, but they can be found on etsy/ebay!
Hair Flower | Also somewhere in Asia, but they can be found on etsy!
- What would be in your flat-self photo collection?
- Do you have a favorite brand for workout clothes?

They’re my favorite! :D (Both the flowers + finding awesome deals. <3 )
What a cool idea! Ugh – but you won’t wanna see what I workout it – it’s usually a ratty tea and shorts or running pants!
Author
hehehe, oh don’t you worry! :P I chose my favorite ones to showcase. The bulk of mine are also old t-shirts and shorts! :P
I love your little characters! My flat self collection would be filled with race shirts and medals :)

My flat self photo collection would be full of workout clothes & then comfy v-neck tees paired with skinny jeans and sandals :). I love EOS lip balm! I really like that you shared different outfits for the the different ways you like to stay fit :).

Ah, that’s the best! <3 That's the basis of my wardrobe when I'm not in the hospital. :P
They were really fun to make, so I didn't want to stop at one, hehehe. :D!
I had a different idea of “flat self” when I first read the topic, too! When I was little, I made paper dolls out of cut up magazines… so that was my “flat self’ back then :)
Very cute outfits! And your flat self characters are cute, too!

Thanks so much, Amanda! :D! Hope you have an awesome Tuesday as well!
Until today, I had no idea what flat-self meant (I also read a post about them today…weird!)
Really all my workout clothes are just cheap stuff from old navy, kohls, or who knows! But I like it all!

haha, I didn’t either! Most of my workout clothes are old t-shirts and stuff I got from Old Navy, TJ Maxx + Ross. :P I love finding awesome deals!

I love that you find brands to support a cause! I have a couple that support good causes too, but I could definitely use more.

I love it when I come across a product I really love that gives a portion of their proceeds to helping others within the community! <3
