I am now officially a Skirt Sports Ambassador for 2018! I’m so excited to finally announce this and share my good news!
I applied for the ambassadorship in December as a lark. I figured that I love blogging about running, I love running, I love sharing my running adventures and I love running in skirts, so I might as well apply and just see what happens. I couldn’t believe it when I was notified in January that I was approved!!
I only have a few Skirt Sports skirts right now (four actually) but they are some of my favorite things to wear. I like that the compression shorts fit tight enough to hold things in but are not too hot. Then the skirt part hides all of the stuff you don’t want anyone to see! I didn’t have any idea what the Skirt Sports benefits would be…but the more I learned about the program…the more I wanted to be an Ambassador.
You see the Skirt Sports Ambassadors are like minded women from across the US. It’s a community of younger, older, runners, walkers, women who like to move and work out, and like to wear comfortable clothing that is made for a women’s body. Just going through “Skirt University” in January showed me how compassionate, fun and incredible a community of women can be! And we all share the same feelings about being in such a great Skirts Sports community.
So what do I get by being an ambassador?
Besides belonging to such a wonderful community of women, I will get discounts on Skirt Sports wear and also have an opportunity for specially made Skirt Sports Ambassador wear. My friends and family can also get 15% off regularly priced items throughout the year using my special code – 656NELS. I can also earn points for sharing Skirt Sports through my Instagram and Facebook accounts which can then be traded for additional discounts, gift certificates, etc. Basically points can be used for more Skirt Sports!! Works for me!
What don’t I get?
I don’t get paid $ for being an ambassador. (Yes, I know that discounts and gift certificates are like $ but I can only buy Skirt Sports…) Someday when my blog gets more readers, I might be able to have an affiliate link on my site – but I’m not ready for that. I like being able to recommend products that I like and wear, without the bias that might come from earning revenue from the products. That may change in the future, but for right now – this ambassadorship is just perfect.
Do I already wear Skirt Sports?
Yep! In the photo above you can see the skirts that I already own and wear. The top three of these are Gym Girl Ultras. They are basic running skirts – not too long and not too short. The bottom skirt is a Lioness which I only wear on really hot days because it is short! I usually convince myself that it is better than simply wearing tight compression shorts – at least the lioness ruffle adds a little more coverage!! I also own one tank and one long-sleeved shirt that I wear when I’m not wearing race shirts. (Note that the links to the Gym Girl and Lioness are not affiliate links. I won’t earn any $ if you use the link and buy the product even though I’m a Skirt Sports Ambassador.) I have a new tank on order along with an ambassador tank top – so I’ll be stylin’ them soon. Watch for it on my IG page – maybe in my next race!
