Happy Friday! You are probably aware of my love of Skirt Sports’ great running skirts and active wear so I was beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to host a trunk show with their new fall gear. I first heard about this amazing idea while out in Boulder for the ambassador retreat and knew I had to get in on it.
How does one host a Skirt Sports Trunk Show?
I received 3 huge boxes filled with all the new fall gear. I seriously thought about just running away with it all. Alas, I set up a mini store in my living room.
I invited some of my besties over for dinner, drinks and fashion. I plied them with yummy eats from Chipotle, wine and cupcakes.
Then it was time to try on all the new gear.
The new toasty line was very popular with my guests and I can’t wait to get my hands on some of it myself. I particularly love the new toasty cheeks running tights with a little extra fleece lining just where you want it in the butt and thighs. The toasty vest is sure to become one of my go to pieces this fall as well.
I was so busy chit chatting I forgot to take a picture of me in them!
Because Skirt Sports is available only on line, having a trunk show gave everyone a chance to try everything on and feel the fabrics in person. All the ladies left with a wish list of gear and full tummies. Want to check out the fall collection for yourself? Head on over to Skirt Sports and use my 20% code (CMR20).
There is something just so much more relaxing about trying on clothes in the comfort of your own home with friends. Hope I have the chance to host another trunk show next spring. Thanks Skirt Sports! This in not a sponsored post. My love of Skirt Sports is my own.
Ever been to trunk show? Do you have more workout clothes than regular clothes?
Linking up with Nicole for Fit n Fashionable Friday
It has been forever since I have been to a trunk show, but I hosted a few last year. They can be stressful but they are so much fun!
They are stressful yes but lots of fun to host. Now I just have to resist not buying it all myself 🙂
Wow, wish I lived near you so I could have tried the clothing on. I only order online when it is a style and size I have already purchased. Unfortunately, Lululemon gets most of my money now since I know their clothing so well!
Well we must do something about that!! The sizing is very similar you should check it out
How fun!!! I wanna get my hands on those leggings too- they look awesome!
Their leggings are great I highly recommend them!
This sounds so fun! I didn’t realize you could do something like this, I hope someone I know locally has one. 🙂
It was great fun! Check out their stuff
How much fun! They really have the best stuff! I love all the skirts, focus on quality fabrics and their fun patterns!!!
The quality is amazing and fun colors this fall
I think a trunk show sounds like so much fun! And you know I love Skirt Sports! 😉 I don’t know if it will get cold enough here for the Toasy Collection, but the idea of extra fleece in the butt area makes me happy!
Looks so fun!! I’ve been to Cabi and tupperwear parties, etc, but never to a running clothes home shopping event… I bet I would spend more money than I have at any other party if I went to one.
NO sense wasting money on tupperware LOL 🙂
What a fun event!! I definitely feel like I workout better/harder when I have cute workout clothes on 😉 haha
Sounds like a fun ladies night. I hate buying clothes online because I can never try them on first. This is a great idea.
Looks like a very fun evening! I definitely have more workout clothes than “civilian” ones!
How fun is this?! I love the look of those toasty tights! I might have to get myself a pair…
Oh I wish I lived by you! Not just to attend your trunk show, of course…
I need those toasty cheeks tights!
Of course!! I think you would love the toasty cheeks 🙂
Oh wow, what an awesome concept this is! More businesses should do this with their ambassadors I think. Word of mouth and actually being able to try on and touch and feel products are by far better sellers than online items!
This looks like a fun night and if I was anywhere near you I’d come!
Now that would be fun!
Never been to a trunk show but what a great idea !
Lots of fun, food and friends
This sounds like so much fun! Great marketing on Skirt Sports end too. The leggings do look nice and toasty 🙂
The leggings are super comfy can’t wait to wear them
I love the toasty tights! They’re very similar to the Lulu ones I have! The pockets are game changing
Yes a must have!
I think I actually have more regular clothes than running gear…but the gap is closing. Every time I go to a store, I’m immediately drawn to the workout clothes first…..I love seeing all the funky color combinations! Running tights/capri’s are definitely in a very fun (colorful) place right now 😉
And you do have some great colorful tights too!
I’ve never been to a trunk show but I do remember my mom doing a tupperware one when I was younger!!
Ha ha these are way more fun!!
This would be a lot of fun!!!! I’ve been to trunk shows but not for running clothing! Those toasty tights look awesome, I’m going to have to check them out!
They are going to be great this winter for sure
This sounds like my kind of party! I have been to trunk shows, but not one for exercise clothes. And Yes, I have way more exercise clothes than regular ones!!
I know! Who needs regular clothes right?
How fun! Cupcakes and shopping make a good combination 🙂
OH yes they do!
I love those toasty tights! I can see why they were a hit! I think for an online company, having truck shows is a great idea. I’m weary of buying things from online shops since I like trying on stuff first.
Yes exactly! The toasty tights are great check them out
i really wish I could have made it! I did get to Erika’s though. I’m tempted by the Gym Girl I think!
I could see you in the that one! It’s universally flattering and not too short not too long. See you for coffee tomorrow
what a funnn time – food, fitness, and friends 🙂
The best combo for sure!
My stack of laundry each week is practically all workout clothes. I’ve never hosted or attended a trunk show. Looks like fun.
Oh the laundry! Trunk shows are fun -food friends and running clothes
Oh my gosh, that looks so fun!! I would have definitely considered running away with all of those clothes myself too 🙂
I know it was tempting!
This looks like so much fun! I would love to host a trunk show! Plus it’s nice to be able to try on all the stuff you may not get a chance too because you shop mostly online!
It’s definitely nice to be able to try everything on before buying it
I have been to a jewelry trunk show, but never one for clothes. It would be so dangerous as I am sure I would want everything there!
What a fun even to have for your friends 🙂
Well yes that is the drawback!
how great is this!? The brand sounds awesome, and those leggings are amazing!
Yes they are! Check them out they are so comfy
We hosted a Lucy Activewear trunk show at the gym a few weeks ago and it was a major hit! I’ll have to look into a Skirt Sports show. I just bought my first skirt from them a few months ago and it totally rocks!
Oh I am so glad to hear that you loved your skirt sports skirt!
Such a cute idea! I love that people are able to try on things that are usually just available online!
It’s a great way to test out the new fall gear in person.
Sounds like you ladies had a fun evening. I’m always weary of not being able to try on a clothing line for sizing before I order, so a trunk show sounds like a great way to work around that.
I will certainly invite you over next time!
I’ve never been to a trunk show but an activewear trunk show sounds like my kinda fun!
I probably have an equal split of activewear and “regular” clothes – but that’s only because I have to have everyday clothes, meeting/work/event clothes AND activewear 😛
I do try to avoid regular clothes whenever possible!
