Workout Time

I was talking to my friend Paige about my blog and she had an idea that I should do a post on sporty style clothing..so that's what I'm doing now. Coincidently, I recently saw a great photo spread in teen vogue which was on sports wear. It was really cool, with lots of bright neons, and interesting textures like mesh.


The sporty look is really fashionable right now because spring is just around the corner and it's a comfy and laid back look that is easy to wear.


There are two ways to wear the sporty look this season:


1.Very modern and sleek, in greys, blacks, whites and dark navy or dark green. Make the look interesting with bold textures, and detailing like zips and pockets.


2. Think bright and playful, with layered block neons and simple, comfy shapes.


Personally, I prefer the more sleek, modern look. I find the bright one just a bit too much for me, and if you wear it wrong it sometimes can just look like a little girls outfit, what with all the bright colours and casual shapes. So I'm going to focus on the first look...
