Okay, so this honestly is more like a rave than a review. If you have brought up running clothes to me in person, then you have definitely heard me say something about Senita Athletics!
All opinions posted are my own. I paid for all clothes featured and am not receiving compensation for my review - just sharing the awesome clothes!
I'm a broke nursing student, so I NEED a good deal. And it seems like any good athletic clothes are ridiculously expensive. My friend Steff introduced me to Senita from her blog, and I was SOLD. Not only are these clothes within a decent price range, but they're literally the most comfortable and best performing clothes I own.
I would say that I love them even more than my Lululemon clothes I own, and its 1/2-1/3 of the price!!!
Okay, lets get to it
My first order:
Breathe Tank in White, Sarah Sports Bra in Bahamas, and Swift Shorts 2 in Bahamas (Bahamas no longer on website).
Total Cost: $70 but with 10% discount: $63! Yes, a wholeeeee quality running outfit is less than $100!
Breathe Tank:
First Reaction: IT'S SO SOFT! The material really blew me away. and I was so excited about the mesh in the back since this girl right here is quite the sweat-er. I also really liked the neckline being as high as it was versus other tanks where I feel like I may be falling out. Yet, it was 'low' enough to not feel like I was being choked or would just sweat right through.
Out on the run: I felt like the shirt 'breathed'. I didn't feel weighed down when I started sweating, and the picture above was during a mid-morning 8 mile tempo run. I felt cool too, which is definitely a plus for those summer runs and race mornings.
Sizing: True. I'm 5'8" average build and wear a Small.

Sarah Sports Bra:
First Reaction: Similar material as the Breathe Tank, and with tons of padding! I'm not super busty, but I definitely need support. And you know how LITERALLY all the pads of bras come out? These don't move! It's beautiful!! Now the only drawback is that the bra is so structured that it can be hard to get on and off; I look like I'm doing some weird dance trying to get it off.
Out on the run: My chest feels supported and secured, but not like a push-up bra. Running photos suck sometimes because you're so unsupported that your boobs either are at your belly button or at your chin (okay, not actually happening to me, but some people actually struggle with support that badly). But when I saw pictures of myself in this bra, I wasn't all over the place; the girls were right where they should be. I also noticed that my arm swing was different. Little do women know that your level of chest support can really impact your arm swing, which can then impact your run.
Sizing: True. I'm a 32DD and average build and wear a Small.

Swift Shorts 2:
First Reaction: OH MY GOSH - LOOK AT ALL THE POCKETS! There's a keyhole pocket, a zipper pocket in the back, and two pockets on the compression shorts that fit an iPhone 6+. Um... YESSSS. The outer shell fabric was super breathable and light, and the compression shorts were super stretchy. The compression shorts also have this like lining at the bottom to keep the shorts in place too! Although I like to feel flattered in my clothes, I don't like to 'stick out'. The shorts had a 3.5" seam which is long enough to cover my backside without hitting my legs at an awkward length.
Out on the run: The waistband felt kinda loose - but it didnt fall down when I ran, even with 2 GUs, my iPhone 6, and my mess of keys in my pockets. When I say it didn't fall down, nothing moved! I didn't chaff even after 8 sweaty miles.
I rave about these shorts so much and only wear these shorts for races because of how comfortable and user-friendly they are. I even went ahead and bought two more because I can't stand to wear any of my other shorts now.

Guys, these clothes are a serious game changer. They're always introducing more, and are so receptive to comments and questions. Maddie and Jenna really stepped up the affordable workout clothing game, and I can't wait to see what else they bring to their shop. (I hope they bring in reflective gear for these dark winter months!)
Let me know how you like these clothes.
Will try to get a discount code for y'all soon!
Best gear!! I have a 10% off promo code for anyone that wants it! It’s runsteff (I get nothing for it - just love saving money)
