Guest blogger Laura Snook of Laura Kate Australia Workouts tells us how to work out in style.

BODY OF WORK

Does your personal style translate to your workout…

To me one of the most essential elements of working out is dressing in something which makes me feel sexy and feminine! For us women, just because we are doing exercise, doesn’t mean we have to forgo our natural style and grace…

When I do a workout I like to complement my outfit with my movement, whilst still maintaining my sensuality. Now I admit this may be a bit hard when riding around the hills on my road bike, ‘Celeste’…but when I am doing my Laura Kate, yoga or dance etc…I want my outfit to complement my physique as I move and flow through each posture.

Just like the satorialist, I am a true believer that if you like what you are wearing when you workout… then you are inspired to perform at your best…

So my dears as you tone and lengthen your way to your new Spring bod then I am sure you will be delighted to frock up in the dance inspired collections of BODY by Dainy Sawatzky. Feminine styling, subtle features blended with a certain balletic look…hmmm I feel that Dainy designed this just for me!!

I particularly like the grey marle Studio Pants.....

We had fun styling our 2 BODY collections together for cute sporty and street looks for Spring...all in store right now.

The overlayer of the Riley dress is styled as a halter over Elements Ballet singlet and Hammer leggings

Until the weather warms up, the Elwyn dress works perfectly belted and layered with Elements Spencer Shrug or Languid Cardi and Leggings....

Loving the Elwyn top over Elements Studio Pant (great over bikinis on the beach too!)
The Boardwalk jacket gives an edge to this sporty look with Elements Vintage Stripe singlet and Rouched leggings. Subbing the bottom half for you fav skinny jeans works just as well...

Styling the BODY collection using pieces in store now shows how versitile it can be to take you from cool to warm, casual to elegant.

1. 2.
1.) Plain Boardwalk Jacket worn over Elwyn Top and (under) the Owl and Pussycat Dress worn with Elements Rouched Leggings and Elements Skinny Scarf
2.) Plain Boardwalk Jacket worn over Kira Dress

Dainy's Style Tip: layer pieces together for changable weather but keep fabrics light for a Spring aesthetic. Leggings under dresses is cute and keeps you warm in the fresh mornings.

3.) Agnes Trench worn over Elwyn Top and the Owl & Pussycat Dress over Elements Rouched Leggings and Elements Erma Top
4.) Skip To My Lou Top worn with the Luna Skirt

Dainy's Style Tip: investing in a Spring Jacket that's easy to wear is an essential item for layering. A Blazer or a Trench is perfect with any look whether it be casual or more dressed up.

5.) Avery Blouse worn over Nymph Blouse with Macy Pants
6.) Riley Dress worn over Kira Dress

Dainy's Style Tip: cropped pants work well with a boot or sandal and easily crosses you over from cool to warm.
