Cooler Weather and Workout Skirts
So it's getting a bit cooler in most places. ANd I saw something this morning that I just have to comment on. For the love of all mankind. If you're going to wear workout tights in public (public of any kind - which to me includes a workout room) please please please wear an empty skirt over them! You know what I'm talking about...especially if they're you're favorite tights from a few years ago. Believe me it's just not flattering so cover it up with a cute little workout skirt. And by empty skirt obviously you need one without undies or shorts attached. Turn an ugly situation into a cute one!
