Tennis Skirts



I have been wanting to learn how to play tennis for awhile now. The combination of hitting a ball hard (It takes me back to my fastpitch days.), the ability to compete as an adult (I am a touch competitive.), and cute outfits (um, yeah duh.) sold me on the sport ages ago. But with all that has been going on at Bon Lemon, it took awhile before I found the time to take lessons.



I am happy to report, I am currently on lesson number three! More importantly, this means I can now justify buying tennis outfits. Yippee! Nike tennis stuff is cute, but I like to support other small businesses, so I went looking for some unique stuff on the web. Tennis garb seems to fall into two categories: Steffi Graf circa 1988 or Venus and Serena circa now. I wanted to fall into the latter. And lucky for me, I stumbled upon a company called Volleygirl. They have the cutest tennis skirts in fashion forward prints. And my favorite feature: a little "poof" of mesh at the bottom.



I received a grape "poof" tennis skirt today and it is way fun. I think I might need all of their summer prints. The giraffe is so adorable! The pictures on Volleygirl's website are a little hard to see, but I can vouch for these skirts. They are super cute and fit well. (Order a size down if you are in between.)



I might not be able to serve (yet), but at least I will be looking sassy on the court thanks to volleygirl.net.

Accessorizing: The Right Time and Place


Is there a right and a wrong time to accessorize? We at Bon Lemon say, "Heck no!"

I have friends who wear big earrings while hiking the peaks of Glacier National Park. Others who wear diamond tennis bracelets while skiing. And Venus and Serena have taught us that tennis is DEFINITELY a game requiring accessories.

So, this winter when you are enjoying all of your favorite winter sports: golf in Arizona, skiing in Park City, fishing in the Florida Keys, don't forget to throw on your favorite pair of Bon Lemon earrings, grab a fluffy Bon Lemon scarf, or layer a couple of Bon Lemon necklaces to complete your look. We think it helps performance too. (Hopefully Serena will be wearing Bon Lemon soon.) :)
