Be like Venus
You can be like Venus Williams. You don't need the name of a goddess, or the body of one. No need to beat up on your little sister in a mythic Wimbeldon match up.
All you need is $9.
Get the look Venus is sporting from her athletic-inspired clothing line, Eleven by Venus, at Steve & Barry's. The collection includes polo shirts so cute, no one will care if you can swing a backhand. Whether or not you hit the gym, you'll look hot in her camisole top with a bra-clasp front, available in black and white. (Ok, it's impossible to be as hot as Venus, but it's still worth checking out the line at Tampa's University Mall.)
Venus doesn't seem to be offering the exact outfit that powered her to a fifth Wimbeldon crown over the weekend. But there's plush hoodie warm-ups, and light exercise shorts in periwinkle and fuschia. Go crazy over the wall of fashion-wise sneakers accented by metallic sparkles, cobalt and pink.
Best of all, just about everything is $8.98. Because the only thing worse than getting sweaty is spending a fortune to do it.
