My loss=your gain (Go Sportswear running skirt giveaway).

by

Alas, as we’ve previously established, I’m not running December 5th in Las Vegas:

As a result I also will not be donning the white tutu below for a vow renewal that weekend either:

And, while I could totally manufacture an excuse to wear the so freakin cute TUXEDO SKORT pictured below (on someone else. Ive not airbrushed out my SneechStar):

Ive decided to pass on their *generous* offer to clad me for the race Im not running—and pass the opportunity on to you.

You may be entered to win the Tuxedo Skort (Seriously, how much do we love the name & the concept?! Perfect for the runningandmarrying Peeps among us!) for the lowlow price of a comment below.

For what special occasion would you don the Tuxedo?

Would you race in it? Walk in it? See a movie with your beloved in it?

Please to hit us all up *creatively* below.

  1. I can’t decide if I want to win or not. Honestly. I don’t think I’d run in a skirt but I’m completely in love with the name and concept of this. Tuxedo Skort. It just makes me giggle. 🙂

  2. Oh my goodness, the boyfriend has been talking about taking me out to a fancy restaurant where he’d wear a suit and everything, and here I thought I’d be hunting for a pretty dress for ages – when I could totally wear the tuxedo skirt instead!

    😀

    In all honesty, I can see myself wearing that in the summertime as a regular skirt. Or around my house in the middle of winter, pretending it’s warm enough to wear a skirt. And pretending that I’m glamorous and at a black tie event. I might even dance around my house wearing it. Probably it would not be used for running purposes. But dancing!

    (Tuxedo skirt really is the best name ever for a skirt).

    (Also I have not gone to sleep yet. I’m just still awake ridiculously early in the morning. The last time I was up this late would have been easily over a year ago… and the reason for it this time was to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter. I’m just that cool.)

    Off to bed now and to stop this rambling comment and to dream of tuxedo skirts.

  3. That skirt is super cute. I’m always looking for new ones for teaching 🙂 I think they get bored of looking at me if I wear the same outfit too many times haha

  4. I have yet to find a running skort that fits me comfortably. I need one with extra material in the back to cover my hind parts so I’m not flashin those behind me lol

    Sad u won’t be runnin in vegas. I was looking forward to the recap!

  5. No need to enter me I just had to say how cute you are in your tutus and how you always brighten my morning.

  6. You don’t need to enter me because I’ve won before, but I just love the photos and I am SAD I won’t be seeing you in Vegas! (And I’m hoping there is a marriage ceremony in front of Elvis in my future)

  8. Hi, Carla!

    I am sad to hear about your change of plans, but would like to support your generous offer by winning the skirt! LOL!

    I would wear the skirt to the supermarket. It appears to be a lucky skirt. Perhaps if I wore a lucky skirt to the supermarket, a bag of potato chips would leap into my cart!

    It is just a theory.

    <3

  9. I’d wear the skirt to run & I’d lobby the company to release a new skirt The MizFit!!

    tutu’esque.

    You inspire me whether you are running or not.

  10. Cute skirt, but I am just not a skirt kinda gal. Very generous of you to pass along their generous offer, though.

    And I’m *convinced* something wonderful will happen to or for you in Austin on the 5th. I know these things….

  11. So sorry you won’t be running. :o( I think if I won this skort, I just may be able to get my hubby to run with me, or at least behind me. 😉

  12. I’d wear it in my first 10k. I’m shooting for April or May 2012. I never know what to wear on race day. The tuxedo skirt would make it all the more fancy 😉

  13. Such a bummer that you won’t be running. That is the saddest part about the post. (even though we’ve known for a while.) I hope you’re healing quickly!

    That skirt is way too cute to just run in. I mean really, I could wear it anywhere! It’s such a classy black and white!

  14. LOL at Helen.

    You should start a line of tutu-running skirts, Miz.

    I’d wear this to lift weights since I’m not a runner.

  18. Adoreable running skirt! Alas, it is sad that you cannot participate in your Vegas race. : ( There’s always next year!

    I love running skirts and this one would be absolutely perfect for my anniversary (wedding – 10 years in May) first half marathon! That’s right! I ran my 10K at the MCM last month and am ready for my first half! My husband is going to run it with me. He would have run the 10K, but was involved in running his first full marathon while I was running my race!

    Yes, it would be a great anniversary race present!

    Thank you Carla for your ever present generosity and sharing of the gifts!

    Luckily, you can always don the tutu at any time with the Tornado!

  19. I would love to win this running skirt. I bought my first running skirt at Target. I didn’t try it on, and it was WAY too big. I only wore it once before I gave it to a friend. If I won this skirt, I’d wear it in my next race; a 10 miler in Dalton, GA.

  24. wait, what? your are a Star Bellied Sneech? Those are the BEST Sneeches on the beaches! I need to find me a Mr. McMonkey McBean STAT!
    #thatisall

  25. Love it! I would wear it to the “we can’t run because we’re broke” party we are having on Dec. 5th where we watch the live finish line feed for Rock n Roll.

    Ok,so we don’t have a party planned….but we totally should 🙂

  27. Well I would definitely run in it — I always run in skirts when it’s warm enough 🙂
    (And actually, a lot of my running pants have skirts attached, too!)

    If it proves to be one of my favorites, then I’d race in it too. Gotta be comfortable!

    So sad you won’t be able to do Vegas. I’ll be bedazzling a running skirt for the occasion. I’ll make sure to take pictures!

  28. Ooh, I would probably wear it everywhere. I’ve been dying for a running skirt….really. Probably not to church, but definitely to the grocery store. 🙂

  29. I think the running skirt is the greatest invention since, well, inventions. I have one, but need another. The Tuxedo is so very cute that I might never take it off!

    I am sorry that you are not able to use it for yourself.

  31. Well, I would definitely wear it to the bus stop in the morning. I often put on my exercise clothes first thing and then hope for the best. With that I would definitely look good.

  32. i’m anticipating a very celebratory event in our household- our first ever mother/daughter 10K! my daughter has watched me train and run a bunch of races, and has resisted the idea for herself. but after her first duathalon (her swim team coach got them to run and swim! love that guy) she’s hooked and has agreed to run the cap 10K with me. yea!! she’s 10 and is starting to do that pre-teen ‘mom is lame’ thing so this feels like an introduction to a new type of connection for the two of us. i’m trying not to let her see how goofily giddy this makes me…. wouldn’t want to scare her off 🙂

  33. I would wear the skirt for the rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding in December. The prospective in laws already think I’m a freak and I want to continue to affirm their beliefs, however mistaken.

  35. So sorry you won’t be running. How about a blog one day about the history of the tutu in the Mizfit sensibility? As for the tuxedo skort, I’ve never tried one of these exercising but I’m game. Very mundane — I’d wear it to the Y and then it would undoubtedly make it’s way to the local library, supermarket and possibly school events (ie mom hadn’t yet found time to change).

  37. I would run my first half marathon in it, provided it stood up to “testing” in my training runs! And if not, it’s cute anyways, so I’d wear it to the beach in the summertime with my sister’s kids!

  38. I have 2 special occasion to which I would wear the Tuxedo skirt. The first would be the Disney 5K that I am running in January, and to the 2011 Breast Cancer 3 Day in Atlanta – which I will walk with my cousin a 2 two time breast cancer survivor.

  39. I’m having a “bachelorette bunch” if you will, in a few weeks and I would ROCK this skirt! A running skirt and mimosas…sounds like a combo!

  40. I wont say how bummed I am not to meet you in Vegas (I am) since I’ve told you too many times already 😉

    I would give this to my new runner wife!

  41. I’d totally run in it … though I would need some tights as it is CHILLY here now.
    In the summer I’d also golf in that bad boy. LOVE IT!!

  42. Oooo! I run in that! Most likely it would end up in my “everyday” clothing, though. I call it “clothing migration” when my fitness wear miraculously grows legs and integrates itself into my regular wardrobe! 😀

  43. Oooohhhh… love the skirt. I’d run in it, yoga in it, karate in it, and do groceries in it. And totally lounge around the house in it. 😉

  46. I would wear this skirt EVERYWHERE! Well, maybe not to work…but I would certainly wear it in races, on my training runs, while running errands, and around the house (I’m sure my husband would love that! :)).

  48. Hi Mizfit!

    You rock the skirt – I love it. I would wear it to spin class, go into position 3 and sprint like a maniac not caring who may or may not be seeing my cellulite because I OWN this body and I’m working really hard to appreciate it.

    It, in turn, appreciates when I don great attire and the mind/body connection of confidence comes full-circle. A circle made complete with a great skirt!

  50. I’d wear it every-dang-where! You should ALWAYS feel as awesome and special as you do on your wedding day!

  52. I would totally wear this all the time. Bike rides, trips to the Saturday morning market, my Tuesday night running club, and for sure when I go to universal studios for their holiday celebration.

  53. Ahh running skorts… all the awesomeness of running naked without that whole social awkwardness thing 🙂 I’d wear it jogging around town to keep cool 🙂

  54. I could see myself wearing it all the time… out for a run, a walk, a dinner, a festival, a picnic, a christening… perhaps even my sister’s upcoming wedding.. not even the groom will be in a tuxedo though so I’d feel bad showing him up.
    Great looking little skirt.

  56. oh i ADORE running skirts. I haven’t actually bought one for myself yet I would love to sport a race in one.

    I just ran my first ever 5K last month and totally have the bug now!

    pick me pick me!

    now I need to find a fancy place to go so I can wear it!
    😉
    Have a great weekend!

  58. Hmmm. I would wear proudly when i get a sitter and run alone – with out children hollering, co-workers sniping, or ex spouses nagging from across country.

  61. Sorry, I wouldn’t save this cutie for a special occasion! I wear it at the gym for my morning treadmill run! Front row, to give all those other treadies a great view!

  62. That’s super cute my friend, but no way would it fit me!!!!! And can I take this opportunity to put on a BIG POUTY FACE that you are not coming to Las Vegas!!!!!!!!

  63. If I won this tuxedo skort I would wear it while doing my first ever 10k. I plan on doing one early in 2011! Sorry you can’t run in vegas 🙁 Thanks for offering the fun prize!

  64. so sorry you aren’t in the race – I would give it a try in the weight room. Probably stay up better than my shorts and quite stylish!

  66. I see myself in the skirt
    All dressed up and ready to flirt
    The miles pass and the compliments fly
    I already feel that runners high.
    I’m not into tennis, baseball or cheer
    I love to run cute and without fear
    I know I’m hot
    I know I’m fast
    I know its all in my head alas.
    But when I wear a tuxedo skirt
    I run far and fast
    and finish muddy sweaty and covered in dirt.

  67. It’s adorable! I’d love to run in it, or do Zumba, or Body Pump or, or, or…

    Sorry to hear you can’t run in Vegas, hope you’re recovered soon.

  68. That skirt is adorable! I would definitely race in it!!! It would help my family pick me out of the crowd.

  69. I’m trying to work up to running in a 5K and would wear it at the next 5K I participate in! Well, actually it would probably be too soon to wear it at the VERY next one — which is a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving day. But the one after that! Thanks for doing the giveaway. I really enjoy your blog. 🙂

  70. I would so wear this when I run my first 5K – which I’m training for right now. It would be perfect!!!

  71. I’ve been working so hard this last year on my quads and calves not to EVENTUALLY show of my legs, right? Hiding under cropped exercise garb can’t go on forever, so maybe the Disney Priness Half I’d like to run in 2012 would be a perfect occasion for a Tux? And a pair of pink, sparkly, Mini-Mouse ears.

  73. The Tuxedo skirt is super cute!! Don’t enter me in the contest (as much as I’d love to win it, I need more workout clothes like I need more laundry) but now I’m off to go poke around their site anyhow and fall in love (I’m sure) with a bunch of their stuff:)

  74. I haven’t seen or even used the work Skort in like 15 years! I’ve never ran in a Skort before, I think it would be interested to try it out! Perhaps for my next 5K! Or save it save it, for running a 5k before I get married next October!!

  79. I would wear it for my first 5k in the spring. I’m only about 15 pounds away from my goal weight. I’ve lost 35 pounds in the past 4 months, so I think I’ve earned the right to show off my getaway sticks in a kicky little skirt. 🙂

  82. I’m probably too late, but love that skirt!
    I would don the tuxedo for dancing at summer festivals where it’s hot and wonderful and I want to be girly and posh at the same time.
    I’d also wear it to play tennis…beasuse that just seems like what you’d do in a skirt 🙂

  85. I don’t know if you gave this away already. But I’ve decided to commit to running an hour a day (6 days a week) outside this winter (on treadmill if raining/ snowing). Goal race: Houston half.
