Fashion at the Gym

By: JayEll Vaughn (@curlznpumpz/@blackgirlsrun) Are you guilty of pulling that faded, wrinkled, "hmph!, where that stain come from?" old, college tshirt out from the bottom of your drawer to wear for your workout? Well, throw that thing away! Going to the gym can be stylish, fun, and even be a motivation to go the gym! She's Got Groove.com gives us 10 tips for looking and feeling good at the gym, and they are simple, and most importantly, do not break the bank! Vanessa Hodge, owner of RUFFLES WITH LOVE, wants you to be cute and hip in the gym as well. Vanessa started her company in January 2012 with the idea to make workout shirts with fun motivational sayings that had to be bright and fun but still be feminine and cute. Vanessa and her fiance work together closely on the company; he helps with the phrases and she is the creative mind behind the colors and style, and the cute bows! "I for one get motivated if I have something cute to wear while working out and I also like the idea that just because you work out doesn't mean you are manly because you can still look cute doing it," says Hodge. So, I ordered a shirt, and wanted to try it out for myself. VERY CUTE, AND IT FITS GREAT! The idea of the bows adds that touch that catches every eye when you walk in the gym. Today, we would like to giveaway 2RUFFLES WITH LOVE shirts.
