What to Wear?


Ok fellow princesses, its confession time—I don’t have a race outfit picked out left!  I have so many outfit options but none I am totally crazy about.  Please help me choose.  Here are my options:


1)       My first option outfit is my Picasso Pink SparkleSkirt!  I love how this skirt fits me and it is very comfortable to run in.  I have paired it with a black Champion tech shirt.  The thing that is holding me back from this outfit is that I hate my knees.  I know, it sounds crazy.  I never wear shorts because I hate how my knees look in them.  I know lots of picture will be taken at the race.  I don’t want to be constantly complaining that my knees look funny in every picture. 

2)      My next option is a skirt my little sister helped me make.  I bought the fabric and cut it into six trapezoid shaped pieces, 6 inches at the top and 8 inches at the bottom.  My sister and I sewed them together then added a waist band and hemmed the bottom.  The skirt does not fit me well and it not very flattering.   I love that we made it together. 






3)      My third option would be to buy a Sparkle Skirt at the expo.  I would buy a jeweled purple skirt to dress as Rapunzel.  It has been my plan all this time to dress as Rapunzel, but I was holding out for a SparkleSkirt SparkleTech—a skirt with legs built in.  It does not look like they will have those ready for the race, so I would have to get a SparkleTech and wear capris under. 

Such decisions!  Please help me choose.  What option do you like?  What will you be wearing to the race? 

A dream is a wish…

  1. At Tinkerbell I had capris on under my sparkle skirt as I wear compression bottoms, at the expo there was another skirt company that had skirts with shorts underneath.

  3. I'd go with the short skirt. I know there will be lots of pictures and you may not love all of them with your knees showing but it is going to be HOT! I was planning on capris but switched to shorts with the forecasts of 80+ degrees.
    I'm wearing knee length shorts with a tutu over it (I have my own insecurities that I'm trying to hide under that tutu!)

  4. I was going to suggest wearing some sort of capris under the sparkle skirt you have, but might be too hot. I say go with the pink sparkle skirt. Maybe you'll think differently about your knees after they get you across the finish line.

  5. I agree with Andrea, the pink sparkle skirt. I definitely understand the picture-thing, our eyes are drawn to what we think of as our worst feature! I am wearing a tank because it looks good with the rest of the outfit, but am hoping not to cringe at my arms in each picture.

    Bottom line - based on the picture you posted, your legs look great in the skirt - go pink!!

  6. Your knees look much better than you probably think they do. :-) If the pink skirt and black top makes your comfortable, go for it! If you would rather a purple, check out the expo for the SparkleSkirts or Team Sparkle.

  7. Just think - most pics will probably be waist up! Put a big 'ol smile on your face and nobody will be looking at your knees! :)

  11. Thanks for the encouragement ladies! I just love you guys! Thank you for pointing out that we all have our own insecurities and usually we notice it so much more often than others. Now that I am doing the 5k also, I plan to wear the pink for the half and the purple for the Tangled Royal Family 5k. Only 6 days left! See you all at the finish line.

  12. Embrace your strong runners body ...knees are rarely "attractive" but the are a part of a runners body that needs to be loved...otherwise they can turn on you ;) the first outfit is great and you look confident in it!
