Ageless Style is a monthly style challenge and link up for women of all ages. Each month we pick a different theme and style an outfit based on that theme. This month's theme is "One and Done" and was picked by JoAnne.
Before I begin this post I want to apologize for my inactivity on this blog. I can tell by the large number of hits on my last post, but no new comments, that people are coming to my blog and looking for a new post. I am still blogging, I'm just SO BUSY I can't seem to find the time. My garden and harvesting/processing food is just my top priority at the moment. When things slow down, hopefully I will be able to post more regularly again. Anyway, onto this month's Ageless Style, "One and Done Fashion".
If you've never heard of "One and Done Fashion" before it's when you keep styling simple by just putting on a one piece garment and wa-la, you're done! One piece fashion could be a dress, a jumpsuit, a romper, etc.
I decided this challenge was a great opportunity for me to show a new trend that I couldn't be more excited about: an activewear/fitness dress.
An activewear or fitness dress is the latest atheleisure wear trend. These dresses are fabulous! They are made with the same comfortable moisture-wicking material that most athletic wear is made out of. The breathable fabric has four way stretch so it's easy and comfortable to move around in.
You can wear fitness dresses to play tennis, exercise, hike, bike, or just on a hot day when you're doing something active, like BLUEBERRY PICKING!
I purchased my dress at TJMaxx. I absolutely love the color and the zippered neckline. The only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't come with built-in shorts. If I wanted to wear this dress hiking, I would have to wear tight fitting exercise shorts underneath.
I found the dress super easy and comfortable to wear. I loved it so much, I hope to buy more! They are perfect to wear running around with the grandchildren, or when we have a day that involves both physical activity combined with a more civilized activity (like hiking in the morning then going out for lunch).
So what about you? Would you wear an exercise dress? Do you already own one? I'd love to hear from you.
And now be sure and check out what the rest of the ladies in the group are wearing and be sure to link up with us too!
Have a Great Day! Amy

Thanks Jill
DeleteI haven't tried this style yet, but I absolutely love it. I think I would want the shorts as part of it too, but then again, you deal with the bathroom inconvenience. Hmmmm, I'll have to think about which would be easier.
ReplyDeleteLove the color and great look Amy,
XOOX

Thanks Jodie.
DeleteI have heard so many wonderful things about the athletic wear dresses but I haven't tried one for myself yet. I love the color and style you found though. It looks so good on you and sounds so wonderfully versatile too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm sure I'll be getting a lot of use out of it.
DeleteSuch a cute dress! I love the color too. Okay, I see the previous post was of your garden so I want to check that out. Although I don'[t have the time at this phase to have a garden, I hope to one day for sure. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, gardening takes a lot of time. I sure didn't have the time when I worked full time.
DeleteI have commented before I think that I was surprised to see you in a dress picking blueberries. Now I know this isn't just any dress. How fabulous that it is stretchy and cool and comfortable!! Only thing I can think that would make it even is if it had bike shorts built in. I am enjoying my skorts this summer more than ever. I feel better about going places in them than in shorts at 65!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I wish it had the shorts built in. Most active wear dresses do. I agree about the skorts. I have a couple of active wear skorts that I wear all the time...more than my shorts. That is why I was so excited to see the activewear dresses! Now I have another alternative.
DeleteLovely dress and beautiful color. Visiting you at SSPS #271. My shares this time are #65, 66, 67, and 68. Wishing you a fun day! Nancy Andres @ Colors 4 Health
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'll pop over to your blog this weekend.
DeleteYup, got to love one and done!

Absolutely!
DeleteI'm a sports bra and cycling shorts wearing gal when working out but that's because I'm just at home. I love this dress. I can see myself wearing that. You. Are. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you, you're so sweet!
DeleteI have a couple of activewear dresses I got this summer that I've been loving! They are so comfortable and cool! This color is gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteOh, did you ever do a post on them? I'd love to see them. Thanks so much.
DeleteThanks for stopping by Amy, you sound like you have been very busy! Do stop by tomorrow, as you're favourite blogger on the linkup! Jacqui Thanks for hosting the link up too! x
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you! I will!
DeleteThat's so cute! Both the style and the color. It is really flattering on you, too. I would love to find one of those. it looks so cool and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes, I felt I really scored when I saw this at TJMaxx.
DeleteA gorgeous style and color! I've never heard of activewear dresses, thanks for the info! Thanks also for linking at Is This Mutton

Thanks so much!
DeleteSorry I am late commenting, we just got back home on Saturday from a 2 week trip to Germany. I've not blogged since the 13th and my latest blog posts were all scheduled ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this color on you! And what a perfect dress for blueberry picking, I just love it!
Thank you. Oh, I'm so excited you got to go back to Germany and see your family.
DeleteSuch a cute dress. It looks cool and casual, and it's very becoming on you -- great photos! Thank you for sharing this post in the Talent-Sharing Tuesdays Link-Up 69.

Thanks so much, and you're welcome!
DeleteI didn't know exercise dresses were a think, that's such a fun idea! I like this colour on you too and blueberry picking sounds fun. I've never done that!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Weekday Wear Link up!
I've never heard of them before either until I saw another blogger wear one, then I thought "I have to have one of those!".
