I generally go all black for workouts because it’s too early to be thinking about fashion haha! This is Everlast leggings and crop top with a Uniqlo x Marimekko puffer jacket that I have had for a while. Goes with everything and is warm! My runners are on clouds and I like them because you can replace the laces with an elastic for if you are just going to Pilates or yoga and want to slip them on and off. So very much form + function with this outfit! I won’t post a picture of me at Pilates because no one needs to see that much sweat…
