Sports Bra Recommendation

Wednesday November 4, 2009

It may not be the prettiest sports bra I've seen, but it's by far the best! I recently took the Enell Sport out for a rather vigorous workout, and I have to admit it's the first time I could wear one sports bra instead of two. (I usually wear two layered over each other, plus a sports tank with a shelf bra.)

There was some bounce when I was actually jump roping, but it wasn't that painful kind of bounce that makes you stop what you are doing--it was kind of a "natural" bounce that didn't impede movement. Since I think the one I had on was actually geared toward the lower-impact spectrum, that's really impressive--it doesn't get more high-impact than jumping up and down as high as you can go, and in one place!

If you have trouble choosing a sports bra (perhaps because you've given up on finding a good one?), this could be a smart one to test out. Let's just say... it was on Oprah.

This high-impact bra is available at Lila Plus.

Do You Do Treggings?

Wednesday October 28, 2009

Are you a fan of treggings? While I don't wear this look with heels, I'm pushing all my plus friends to buy a pair for the season just for wearing boots. There is really nothing worse than trying to slide a pair of "plus-size boots," which barely fit over tights, over jeans instead. My bulky jeans never work well with any of my boots, and it makes me insane! What about you? Do you run into the same problem with jeans and sleek knee-high boots?

Treggings can be scary, but they sure are useful for those of us with knee-high boots that aren't so roomy. These particular treggings are available at UK shop New Look, which is currently carrying sizes 18 and 22 for around 23 dollars. They do ship to the States and Canada.

Tell me, would you dare to rock treggings?
