Sweat In Style With DYI – Define Your Inspiration Activewear

We all love being active and exercising, but sometimes it’s easy to make up excuses and say it’s just too hot. DYI, the company that Forbes named the next Lululemon, has your perfect solution to the scorching summer heat!

Everyone has a different way they enjoy being active so DYI- Define Your Inspiration created a line of clothing for any and all athletic endeavours. While they’re known for their leggings, they have created shorts, a skirt and tops that are perfect when it’s just too toasty outside.

The too hot for leggings DYI bottoms include:

  • Active Short: Comfort meets style in our all new summer Active Short! A sporty stretch woven fabric stretches and moves with you. Two invisible zipper pockets allows you to carry a phone hands free while you focus on your workout.

  • Active Skirt: Whether you’re on a hike, a bike or traveling this summer, our Active Skirt is a perfect addition to your Summer workout wardrobe. A lightweight woven, stretch fabric moves with you and keeps you cool during warmer months. Built in short gives coverage and comfort no matter what you plan on doing. Two invisible zipper pockets allow you to carry a phone or other items hands free.

Pair these shorts and skirt with some loose tanks including:

  • Deep Breeze Tank: Get Breezy in our Deep Breeze tank! Our lightweight, breathable tanks is the perfect layering piece to transition from spring to summer.

What I Wore: Color Block Sleeveless Dress

A personal fact about myself is that I have one shopping rule.  Generally, I purchase items from boutiques or stores that have a petite collection.  I am short in stature and require a certain length and fit.  On this site I like to share styles and trends that are appealing to not only myself but to my readers as well.

This month, I was invited to attend a Women of Distinction Spring Tea.  It’s an annual event and everyone should place such an occasion on her calendar for spiritual inspiration.

What I Wore:

I opted to wear this particular dress because color blocking is the easiest way to wear varying colors.  It’s literally an art exhibit displayed in the form of ready – to -wear apparel.  For a non-traditional flair I selected a pair of black strappy heels along with a quilted handbag.

The Spring Tea was amazing and my look provided a seasonal, chic statement!
