Never thought I’d be dancing to biebs to launch

Never thought I’d be dancing to biebs to launch my new wide leggings but hey love me a 2010s revival.

GUYS I have been waiting anxiously to share with you the evolution of the legging.

We have arrived

at

the

✨WIDE LEGGING✨

On November 3, 2023 the idea for my wide leggings was born, before baggy jeans dominated the scene, and just around the time people were FINALLY getting comfortable with flares. You would think this was an easy one to develop but no. Getting the perfect booty curvature hug to gradually melt into the perfect amount of wide leg without being too tight or too baggy took FOREVER. I honestly should show you some earlier iterations bc it was oddly very difficult.

Anyway the @popflex_active wide legging comes in:

✔️XXS-3X
✔️27”-37” inseam
✔️crisscross waistband
AND
✔️supersculpt (straight across) waistband

Hope you’re able to find your perfect fit!

“TOO EXPENSIVE!!!” Okay, okay. I understand.

“TOO EXPENSIVE!!!”

Okay, okay. I understand. For everyone who’s been waiting for DEEP DISCOUNTS, now is your time to shine! The @popflex_active sample sale is on now and you best get there early because the prices are so insane you’ll end up making money by shopping the sale.

🔖 DATES:
May 27 – June 1

⏰ TIME:
May 27 – May 31: 10AM – 6PM PT
June 1: 10AM – 5PM PT (or while supplies last!)

If you’ve never shopped a sample sale before, you’re in for a treat! I get such a high everytime I go to one of these because it’s seriously like a treasure hunt! Sample sales are also a great way to practice sustainability and extend the life of a product. Instead of tossing samples (ugh I would die!!) why not help these garments find a new home? Whether they’re prototypes or barely-even-worn returns, everything’s totally wearable! Thank you so much for helping me give my @popflex_active babies a second chance!

When you’re shopping, you’ll find that diff sizes are sorted into diff rooms, so shopping is quick and easy! XXS-3X is currently all in stock but go early because today the girlies were EATIN IT UP.

HAPPY SHOPPING!!

Swim drama.

I did not want to have to make this video but here we are. You deserve to know why I haven’t released @popflex_active swim 2025 yet.

♥️ Cassey

PS: Thank you for all of your love and support on my IVF journey post. What’s crazy is that over the past 2 weeks, my doctors told me “try to not stress ok?” and I was like “k”. Except I was VERY MUCH GOING THROUGH IT as the swim drama unfolded. AND it’s still not even resolved yet 🫠 Will find out viable embryos this week…hopefully the stress didn’t get to em.

The past 2 weeks have been…A LOT. I wasn’t su

The past 2 weeks have been…A LOT.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to post anything about this, but I wanted to share this life stage with you. Many of you started doing my workout videos when @samlivits and I were just dating…you saw Sam get down on one knee and propose…you saw us get married…you’re seeing us build @popflex_active…and now, I wanted to share this.

The decision to do IVF was a big one. It made everything real. Even though we tried for 5 years, I have to be honest with you: when the pregnancy test came back negative, I was neither sad or happy. I was neutral. I know…

Sam has always wanted to be a father with all his heart. But, for some reason, I had never wanted motherhood as bad as Sam wanted fatherhood. It’s not that I didn’t like kids, its just that the burning desire wasn’t there for me. I don’t know why being a mom wasn’t calling me the same way being a fashion designer was.

I kept delaying the possibility of having a baby by pouring everything into my work. I kept saying “I’m not ready” and “next year”. He kept patiently waiting. Now looking back, my hesitance ended up delaying Sam’s dream as he wholeheartedly helped make mine come true.

The decision to do IVF as you can see was one that brought many uncomfortable things to the surface. However, I do have a weird pattern of “not being ready” when it comes to life stages. In fact, before Sam proposed, I kept telling him I didn’t want to get married until my career was on track. He ended up proposing anyway and a new chamber of love unlocked in my heart that I didn’t even know existed. It was magical, and the timing was perfect.

Anyway, I am nervous but excited for this next journey. Sam has been so supportive through it all…and also, the women in my life really showed up over the past few weeks. I didn’t expect it at all, but their care made a world of difference. Thank you also to my doctors, nurses, and the medical team involved in getting us to the egg retrieval stage. Modern medicine and science is truly fascinating.

So, would you rather wear the jumpsuit or the pant

So, would you rather wear the jumpsuit or the pants?

Either way BOTH are available - for my jumpsuit for lyfers AND my how do you pee-ers!

I’m wearing the @popflex_active Go with the Flow Wide Leg Pants in small, regular length with flats! If you want to wear with heels, go one length up! So for example, I’m 5’5” wearing Regular length with flats but if I wanted to wear heels I’d go one length taller and grab Tall.

My top is the Go with the Flow Long Sleeve Top!

And the first jumpsuit is the Go with the Flow Jumpsuit!

Alright I hope everyone can now pee in peace!
