Photo Contest 2014

Thank you to everyone who submitted entries into the Sweet Spot® Skirts 2014 Photo Contest- it was our biggest year yet! Needless to say, the judges had a tough time selecting winners. We had entries from all over the world (from China to Italy to our own backyard) and all types of activities (from ironmans to racquetball to unicycling). See the entries on Facebook and Pinterest

With that said, these are the entries that stood above the rest to the judges:

Grand Prize:

Kelly, on a beach hike in Kauai. This looks like a scene out of a magazine! Gorgeous background and beautiful model.

Kelly wins an entry to Skirt Club, which includes receiving a Sweet Spot® Skirt each quarter plus other extras.
1st Place- resulted in a tie
What a year of travel! The judges decided to award both Sunshine and Wendy in a tie, for their world travel in their skirts.
Wendy took her skirt from Pisa to Florence to San Francisco!

Sunshine adventuring from London to China to Japan!

Wendy and Sunshine each receive a Sweet Spot® Skirt of their choice plus a $25 online gift certificate.
2nd Place- another tie amongst the judges!

Run Fast, Run Flirty

Sole Sisters at the Get Bold Resolution Run. Great job, ladies!
As we run full strides ahead into 2015, there's lots of talk of different running events, goals and accomplishments. Many of our customers love running in the traditional Sweet Spot Skirts, while others love adding a Fast 'n Flirty running skirt to their collection. Ultra lightweight fabric, elastic and silicone in the band to keep it in place during the toughest of workouts. And of course, the ever popular adjustable snaps (that's right, it doesn't matter if you run too much or eat too much pizza- that skirt still fits!) Bright colors also liven up those dark and sometimes gloomy winter runs as we wait patiently for more daylight to be added by the day. Check out the Fast 'n Flirty technical running skirt collection- we can almost guarantee you'll run faster with one on ;)
