It took me a while to purchase a gym bag. Now I can't live without it! I love my bag and rarely go to the gym unaccompanied by it.

I got this Betsy Johnson steal at TJ Maxx!!
When you like your gym gear then you will be more motivated to go work out! If you look good then you feel good and you'll work harder to get to your goals! Build your workout wardrobe with some great essentials. Be careful not to go overboard as your shape may be changing over the months! 
I love this bag because it has so much room inside!! I can fit my sneakers, pants, socks, top, and bra in with room to spare. There is a side pocket on the inside that I use for headphones in between workouts and my keys or sunglasses while I am at the gym. There is a magnetic button on the top to close it and it is quite strong! It was not meant to be a gym bag so the top does not close all the way, just the magnet in the middle, which is kind of a bummer.
The big shoulder straps are perfect! I can swing it around easily in a hurry. Even with the bulge of all my gear, I can easily carry this around. I love the silver chain detail with the black leather that is laced through the strap. This picture gives you a good idea of its size, I love a nice big gym bag!
Below is a close up of the front. I really love the heart shaped pocket on the front, it adds a special girly twist! The zipper is a bit difficult to get open and closed. The dip in the middle is the tricky part. Overall I love the front storage. It is actually very roomy -- I keep my make up remover face wipes, extra deodorant, and hand sanitizer in here!
To the left is a close up of the back. I just wanted to add it to be through =)

This bag is the perfect size for me and it is a wonderful mix of edgy and girly! Even though I just use it while I am walking in and out of the gym, it still makes me happy to wear it! I am excited to pack my bag at night and excited to use it the next day. This bag cost me about $45 but there were cheaper options there. I knew that I was going to use this long term and I wanted something I couldn't live without. If you are planning on loosing weight, your bag is a good splurge item!
Have a great night!
