Wear What When: For The Workout

Photobucket

Sports bra + tights by H&M. Crewneck sweatshirt, Cheyenne Vapor Backpack, gloves, iPod, and shoes by Nikey. Glasses by Vera Wang. Neutrogena Sunblock body mist, Olehenriksen Balancing cucumber face mist. and NATHAN Stainless steel water bottle.

In this edition of Wear What When I decided to focus on workout gear because I really need to get back into a regular fitness routine and in hopes that this post would motivate me to go out and get the things I need to get started. I literally don't own a pair of sneakers and the only semi appropriate pants I have are lounge/sleepwear pants. Here's to the start of a productive and kickass week!!
