LLL Backpack and run skirt

[Deleted]

I went on a LLL binge yesterday and got, among other things that I needed, the tiny LLL backpack (in purple) and a pink ruffled run skirt. Does anyone have either or have any opinions on whether I should keep them? Will I really run in a skirt with a pink ruffled butt?

I went with my mom and spent close to a thousand dollars. DH said "you are NOT allowed to shop with your mom anymore. She's a bad influence." But its really the clothes, I am hooked. And have a marathon coming up. Anyway, I told him it was a Mother's Day gift from the dogs. It is hard to understand spending that much on athletic apparel but I wear LLL all the time. Including just for around town.

I love my LLL ruffle butt running skirt. It's pink and cute and I love girly shit like that. I vote keep.

Or send it to me. Heh.

I'll keep the skirt. It sounds like you have one! I just needed one person to tell me it wasn't too juvenile because DH hates it.

I don't have that skirt but I really really want one. Every time I buy something the practical side of me makes me put it back and I buy new speed shorts :/

Keep it

I have a ruffle butt running skirt, not that exact one. I love it!

No. Not a pink ruffle butt running skirt. Too cutesy.

What's wrong with cutesy?

Nothing if that's what you like. I just could not run in a ruffle butt skirt. It would look silly on me.

I have two running skirts from LLL; one has two tiers of pleats on the back and the other has a single layer. Both are adorable, and I *love* cranking out a fast 5K in them and the looks I get from people who thought they didn't have to take me seriously as a runner. I may or may not choose to pair them with my more feminine tops at the same time...

This...NMS, but whatever floats your boat.

I love my ruffled running skirt.  It is very very comfortable - i much prefer skirts over shorts.  I like feeling cute!

You are tiny and cute. Ruffles look good on you! Ruffles would call way too much attention to my butt!!

I wore both the backpack and skirt on my run today (8 miles). Perfectly comfortable and, obviously, now neither is going back. :-)

joenali, have you ever tried on a ruffled skirt? I think it would look cute on you. It's not tutu-fluffy, it's actually very flattering. You would rock it.

It definitely has its time and place though. Cute and flirty is not a look that I want when I run by myself at 5am.

I have two of the pacesetter skirts. They are my favorite thing to run in!
