Would You Run in a Dress?

I won't lie to you, I love running in a skirt. They are flattering, cool and not to mention cute. Plus there are many styles out there to choose from making it easy to find one your iPod fits into perfectly. Originators of the current running skirt phenomenon, SkirtSports has just upped the ante and they are now making running dresses. The aptly named Footloose Dress ($62.50), comes in a variety of motivational bright and feminine colors and offers a built in shelf bra for support (A-cup through small C-cups only). Shorts are not provided, so if you plan to be active, footloose, and fancy free in your running dress you best pair it with your athletic undergarment of choice. You can buy a Footloose Dress (and shorts) directly from SkirtSports. The concept of a running dress is certainly unique, but I am more of a separates gal. What about you . . .

Get Your Butt in Gear: ToughGirl Skirt by SkirtSports

If you fell in love with running skirts this summer and are pining to run like a girl even though it is too cold to show off you gams, I think I have found a solution. The ToughGirl Skirt ($85) by SkirtSports!

The ToughGirl combines running tights with a cute short skirt for all-in-one, one-of-kind running bottoms. And cover your bottom it will. The skirt strategically covers you in all the right places and the leggings, with slight boot cut, keep you warm. The fabric, Dupont Supplex, feels divine and you might just find yourself lounging in your ToughGirl skirt since it is so dang comfy. But don't forget this skirt and pants combo (does that make it a skant instead of a skort?) is made for action. It has two pockets hidden under the skirt for you to slip your keys, your iPod, or ID. So good to know that you can run like a girl in winter, too!

The ToughGirl comes in either pink or black, and you can buy them directly from SkirtSports.

I think of myself as a jock just because I played sports in high school. But really, I am just a grown up girl with two very girly daughters. I've been celebrating my more feminine side and have wholeheartedly embraced pink (thanks to my pink loving daughters), and now I want to run fast in a skirt!!!

Thanks to SkirtSports I can. They are pioneering a new trend in women's fitness apparel - yep, the sport skirt - everything old is new again. Their skirts are great for running, biking, gym time, tennis, golf walking, and just hanging out looking cool in a brightly colored mini. You can look like an athlete and a woman at the same time. After all it is National Girls & Women In Sports Day, and these skirts incorporate both the feminine and the sporty. This is what professional triathlete Nicole DeBoom was thinking when she decided to create this line of sports clothes for women.

If you are thinking of converting to the skirt, send in an old pair of running shorts and receive a 45% discount. Which could be your gateway skirt, which run (haha!!!) around $70.

Interested in trying one on before you buy? SkirtSports has a great retail locator on their website.
