So, last week I went a little crazy. I have been waiting and waiting to load up on spring Skirt Sports stuff because they release the new styles a little bit at a time and I wanted everything I had seen in the ambassador teaser. I did give in and buy the Lioness in the new color back in February because I wanted it for my race, but otherwise I was waiting.
This week, a giant package arrived and I immediately tried everything on and had a fashion show all by myself. Who's ready for some super awkward pictures?!
The haul: Super Girl tank in Sidewinder; Redemption Capris in Stargaze; Pocketopia capris in Sidewinder; Hover skirt in black; Cascade skirt in Persevere; Go Longer short in black. |
First I tried on the Super Girl tank with the Hover skirt. I need to return them both for smaller sizes; the SG is supposed to run small but seemed to run true to size for me; I shouldn't have sized up.
The SG has a pocket in the built-in bra and three along the lower back! It's a perfect cycling top but I'll be wearing it for running, of course. |
I changed into my Wonder Girl tank for the rest of my photoshoot so I wasn't mixing crazy prints. I love this tank top; it runs smaller than other Skirt Sport tanks, which works for me because their tanks tend to be a little on the loose side. And I love the built-in bra.
Anyway, the new piece here is the Cascade skirt. I have this skirt in three prints now, and it's no wonder...it is just so cute! I love the tiers and it's so lightweight in this print!
I own four (or five?) pairs of the Redemption capris. My only annoyance with them has always been the lack of pockets, which the new Pocketopia style corrects. These capris are lightly compressing, don't slip down or ride up, never give me camel-toe...and are basically just super fun and bright!
Pocketopia capris have a pocket on each leg that easily fits my cell phone and other goodies. I rarely get to run in capris because...well, Florida...so the pockets aren't always necessary, but they are good to have anyway!
Both of these capris have a zippered pocket in the back and a key pocket in front. The Pocketopia run a little less compressy than the Redemption; they're slightly stretchier, too.
And that's it! I am so excited and ready to run...if I am ever able to run again.
Just kidding. Kind of. |
Which of the prints do you like best?

Love the pics! I'm also training for a half marathon with SportMe training half marathon, which calculates distance, time, pace and calories.
ReplyDeleteIf only I had more money....
ReplyDeleteI love the sidewinder print. I am a creature of habit and have mostly GGU.
But I did buy the wonder tank and can't wait to wear it.
You look great in your clothes.
Ah...to be young again!!!
Oh I like the blue space age looking ones! You have great style for your workout clothes. I tend to stick to solids and rarely match. But I do like matching and looking trendy in my day to day clothes. :)
ReplyDeleteLove both pairs of capris....super jealous!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed this!! Great fashion show!! I love that blue print, it looks great on you!!
