Style It: Flight Shimmel
Spring is shimmel season! When Oiselle released the Flight Shimmel it quickly become a closet staple. I'll be the first to admit that veering away from my go-to tanks and tees was a bit daunting. I'm a top hoarder. But the shimmel is different and more versatile than first glance appears...or for those of you asking, what-the-heck-is-a-shimmel? With removable cups, a simple A-line silhouette and comfortable cross back straps, this shimmel is ready for yoga, barre, running, hiking, biking, dinner outings...seriously I could go on.
How to style the Flight Shimmel from Track to Town.
Workday Style
Pair it with a long maxi skirt or shorts for summer. Best part: no fussy bra straps showing though your tank. Your favorite chunky necklace and cute sandals are perfect to match with it...especially to keep you stylin while you break for the watercooler.
Warm Up
The shimmel is awesome for all things working out: at the gym, warming up for a run, a quick core break at work to do The Dozen...
On the Run
Roga Shorts + Flight Shimmel pair well on the run. Go with a neutral dark short to make the orange pop in the front.
To Yoga or Barre
Wear your favorite yoga pants (mine are the Charcoal Joggings) plus Lux Runfinity Scarf to brighten up the outfit.

Core Routine For Runners: The Dozen
I was introduced to the "The Dozen" in the winter of 2012 by my favorite Oregon running family. I love this set of core exercises for its efficient targeting of core muscle groups, and because no gym equipment is required! You can do this on a grass field, in your hotel room, or really anywhere you can lay on a flat surface.
Reflecting on the Year of the Underbird
This past August, we launched our Year of the Underbird program: an open application for aspiring Olympic Trials marathoners, with a promise to select 5 women for a 6 month contract encompassing a stipend, gear, storytelling, and community support.
