Even if you don't get your "practice" on- (as in Yoga)...
Athleta always delivers so much more...as a full fledged gals' brand that can outfit practically any female on most occasions not requiring formalities.
In fact-this is the label we wear the most---and would not be surprised if parent company GAP gets all those rosy earnings reports due to this California based division...that's opening brick+mortars across America. Now.
For Fall/Holiday 2013 (deliveries start October)...colder dwelling individuals get an assortment of chunky knits to keep them warm...how we started the media preview at
