[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, so here's the real deal: skorts and shoes like that are not ever going to win you any fashion points. They just aren't. Never wear that stuff to NYC or you will be labeled a tourist and  robbed immediately. But A: why do you care if you live in DC,  B: they define a fairly sporty aesthetic that I associate with someone from Colorado or New Hampshire, where you're not going after the latest designer look, and C: they seem really comfortable and practical for what you're probably doing, which is chasing after your kids. I wouldn't wear it to Estadio or Le Diplomate, but for the playground, why not?[/quote]

I agree with most of this post. Athleta skorts are athletic clothing, designed to be worn during ACTIVE activities, which actually demand an athletic-type shoe. No one expects you to wear Manolo heels with an athleta skort. Someone who tells you that athleta skort + athletic shoes = frump is someone with a completely different aesthetic from yours. She wouldn't be caught dead in athleta clothing! Okay, and you wouldn't go to the playground in couture. So really, it's like she is speaking a different language. No need to translate. You can't understand each other.

Your athleta skort is designed for comfort, modesty, and an active lifestyle. The shoes should match. The ones you've been wearing do. The end.

Here's where I disagree with the post above: I know plenty of jeans-and-sneakers (and even athleta skort) people who live in NYC. The notion that every person (or even most people) in NYC is dressed to the nines is just silly.[/quote]
