How to Develop a Personal Style [Tuesday]
When students made their way to the Danger Shop today, they'd find that it had been transformed into a lush, green, sunshiney park -- complete with a few tennis courts, a track, and a playground -- though without any adorable rugrats running around, of course. Irene was ambitious, but only so patient. The woman herself, of course, was standing over by an array of cabanas similar to those that had been on the beach that day a few weeks ago, wearing a pair of Norma Kamali yoga leggings and a Michi jacket, along with sunglasses and trainers.
"Looking good is not all sitting around and being fed grapes by boys in togas, though I'm sure that's probably what loads of people think I do all day," Irene greeted them with a wave. "Sometimes people do like to go outside, and just now, the first nips of spring are in the air and I'd bet more than a few of you are ready to stretch your legs. It's still icky out in the real world, though, so I thought I might give us a sunnier one to play in just now. Now, exercising, whether outdoors or in, doesn't have to mean putting on your very oldest t-shirt and your brother's ratty running shorts. More to the point -- even if you don't especially care about looking good when you exercise, you really ought to ensure that your outfit fits the activity."
She gestured down to herself, sending her ponytail (treasure the moment, kids -- you'll never see her hair in one ever again) bouncing. "I do yoga, so I wear form-fitting clothing when I exercise so that I'm not worried about getting tangled in layers. Runners often also wear tighter clothing so they don't have to worry about the excess fabric weighing them down or reducing their speed. But if I were to run over there and play tennis, I might be looking for something different in my clothes to complement my activity. Take a little while to poke around in the cabanas and try some things on, then come on out and feel free to go play."
She paused, then held up a finger. "Oh, one last thing -- without embarrassing you lot too badly, I do want to touch on the question of underthings, just briefly. Whether you're concerned about upstairs or downstairs being protected while you play, it's imperative that you wear something supportive. Ladies, poke around the sports bras. Gents, there're cups available if you're so inclined. But please do keep that sort of thing in mind -- less a style thing, more a safety concern."

Try on activewear! [3/10]
There were also plenty of more intimate options to choose from, as Irene had mentioned.
But I'm not going to go looking for sports bras and cups at work, you guys are on your own.Play outside! [3/10]
moddablesports equipment over with her as well, so students could feel free to grab a ball and shoot some hoops or whatever it is you do with balls and sports.She didn't know.
Talk to Irene [3/10]
She'd have to get a real workout in later -- it didn't seem wholly appropriate to slip into downward dog and start a vinyasa with her whole class here.
See? Boundaries. She did have them.

It felt so good to be able to bend and stretch in the sunshine!
