Here are the activewear outfit choices that are available for July 2021 over at Ellie. There are 19 outfits to choose from this month. Some of them are repeats, so if you were ever torn between a few options, you might be able to snag a past favorite this month. I believe 8 are new.

You can head over to the Ellie website to sign up and choose one of these outfits (if available) until the end of the month. If you are a current subscriber, you must choose or skip by July 4.

There’s a good mix of pants and shorts. Most outfits include a light t-shirt or tank top. Only 1 set includes long sleeves.

The accessories this month, if you have a 5-piece subscription, are a towel with a magnet in it (to hang on lockers etc) and a resistance tube with handles.

I’m still on a 3-item subscription, as the accessories have been very similar to others that I’ve received over the last year+ of subscribing.

July 2021 Ellie Outfit Choices

The outfit choices this month are:

Last month I meant to choose the Sea Breeze set and instead received the Midnight Surf. I went back into my account and ordered the Sea Breeze set separately in case it wasn’t available this month.

As it turns out Sea Breeze is sold out, but Midnight Surf is available again for July. If you’d like, you can check out my review of Midnight Surf.

This month I decided to skip, even though I do love the Jessica Simpson Peony Perfection and the Down To Earth sets.

I did still include my review of Sea Breeze below in case it becomes available again in the future or in the shop.

Which would (or did you) pick?

What Is Ellie?

Let’s first talk about what Ellie actually is. Ellie is a monthly activewear subscription with the option to just get the activewear or activewear and accessories and equipment.

You get to choose your outfit from at least 12-18 different options, with some being repeats from prior months.

There is also the ability shop previous collections (it does cost a bit more and only includes the clothing) and must have essentials that are all marked down significantly.

How Does Ellie Work?

Ellie chooses and outfit for you each month, but you have the ability to go in and change it or skip the month all together. You just need to log in between the 1st and the 4th of the month to do so.

I have not received any reminder emails to do this. So far, I’ve just remembered to check on the 1st of the month because I’m so excited to see what’s new, but it might be a good idea to set a reminder on your calendar.

How Much Does An Ellie Subscription Cost?

There are 3 different subscription options:

The 2-Item plan is $39.95 a month and includes a top and bottoms.
The 3-Item plan is $44.95 a month and includes a top, bottoms, and a sports bra.
The 5-Item plan is $49.95 a month and includes a top, bottoms, a sports bra, and 2 pieces of accessories or equipment (like dry towels, a sports bag, workout bands etc.)

Remember, your first outfit is 25% off, regardless of which subscription you choose.

For me, it made sense to sign up for the 5-Item plan because I knew I wanted the 3 pieces of clothing. It’s only $5.00 more for the 2 additional items.

This is considerably less than other fitness wear subscriptions, so the question becomes, “How’s the quality?”

Sorry friends, I might not be back to making videos until August since our home renovation keeps getting pushed later and later.

July 2021 Ellie Subscription Review

Marika Kimberly Sports Bra

I love this sports bra. It’s a medium impact bra so I can wear it for just about anything I do except maybe running.

The back is a fun, racerback design with both the print and solid white portions. There is a cute little criss-cross near the top.

The material is very soft and exactly what I typically get from most Ellie pieces.

Marika Geri Short

The shorts are a slightly different fabric than the top. Both are made from a combination of polyester and Spandex, but the shorts have more polyester giving them a texture more like nylon.

They are a looser fit, unlined, and slightly see through if you wore darker underwear under them. They aren’t super sheer though, so lighter underwear is just fine.

They also have front pockets and a drawstring waist.

I went through 6 pages of reviews on Ellie and didn’t see one person state the obvious here. The color of the shorts and the bra are not the same.

The shorts much whiter and brighter, whereas the bra has more of a yellowish undertone to them. On the Ellie website, they look exactly the same so I was surprised by this.

This isn’t a big deal for me since I always wear a top over the sports bra, but it might bug others. This is the first time I’ve had this issue with any Ellie outfit.

Marika Sea Tank

This tank is pretty typical of most Ellie tops. It’s very lightweight so it’s perfect for summer.

The back has 2 folds that can open, so if you’re outside the wind could technically blow the back open.

It’s really soft and the color does pair nicely with the print on the rest of the outfit.

Final Thoughts

While the colors of the sports bra and shorts don’t match up perfectly, I do still love this outfit.

It’s perfect for summer workouts or even running errands.

The shorts are $50.00 on Marika’s website and still available at the time of this post. I could not find this exact sports bra, but similar styles are $45-55.00. The Sea Tank is $45.00 and available in other colors, but currently on sale for $27.99.

As you can see, ordering from Ellie is an amazing deal!

I’m always really happy with the quality and selection choice as well.
