Skirted Leggings: Do or Don’t?

28 Oct

After posting about lace, I thought I would sticky with the fashion forward and talk about skirted leggings (aka SKeggings). Personally, I love them, they make everyone’s butt look so stinkin’ cute!

Here are a few options with different skirt and legging options for all you fitness-istas out there!

ROGIANI Transformable Skirt:

On Wednesday I talked about the lace skirt on the leggings. If you aren’t bold enough to go for the lace, the solid skirt is just as cute. I also have one of these! Accents the booty just enough, but also gives plenty of coverage. Perfect for any trip to the mall.

Skirt Sport Lotta Breeze

For those of you looking for something a little less fitted, Skirt Sport is where you want to be. Fitted more generously for those with larger hips, the Lotta Breeze Skegging also has pockets on each hip which is great for putting your iPod or other things in. This skegging does have a very athletic look to it, I don’t know if it could double as everyday wear, but it’s still cute enough to pretend you went for a run!

Skirt Sport Tough Girl Skirt

Skirt on top of pants….I guess you could call it a SKant? Sounds kind of lame, but I digress. Great option for those of you who want to balance out your hips or really don’t like leggings. It’ actually REALLY cute on…Promise.

All of these are 100% functional for the gym, too! So hit the treadmill and then the mall! No one will ever know our secrets!

I’ll grab a picture of me wearing mine this weekend and post it here! Follow me on twitter to make sure you see it first! (@YogainHeels)

Pump Up Your Closet with Leggings & Lace!

25 Oct

Lace is super huge this fall in the fashion industry, but there is one designer in the activewear industry that is way ahead of the times and of course, I pride myself on being right there with her. I purchased a ROGIANI lace transformable skirt last fall from Atlanta Activewear. Still wearing it, still looks new, still A-MAHZ-ING!

Elisabetta Rogiani has been creating a lace activewear collection for YEARS and I bring you my favorite pieces from her collection. To quote Rachel Zoe, “I DIE.”

Fall Must Have #1: Lace Tansformable Skirt on Full Length Leggings

Oh. My. God. It’s a onesie, which I am a total sucker for. Throw on these leggings and instantly get a chic bum cover with a sexy side. The lace skirt hugs your bottom and creates a gorgeous silhouette! Wear it as a skirt to run to the mall or roll it into a thick waistband to hit the gym.

Fall Must Have #2: Lace Back Racerdoll Tank

I mean seriously? Amazing. Her lace is a stretch lace which means that it isn’t as itchy as other lace items and that it moves with you. I am so obsessed, but I know what you’re thinking, I can’t run without a bra in that….(keep reading)

Fall Must Have #3: Lace Back Racerdoll Bra

LOVE! I have this in yellow with a tiedye lace back. Honestly, one of my favorite sports bras. Perfect for under the lace back top as it follows the lines exactly.

Fall Must Have #4: 5 Pocket Lace Jacket

The couture fitness jacket of the season, or maybe just of all time. So chic. So classic. So perfectly executed.

So go grab some of these and rock the lace trend at the gym! You’ll be sorry if you don’t! Also, to really kick it up a notch throw on a leather jacket and some great boots!
