the outfit: alala style

Love what I’m wearing for this workout? me to! Thank you alala style for the awesome new gear! I’m wearing the zip it up bra, talk about a supportive, comfortable bra. I love the thick elastic band, flat seams {anti-chafe}, and my favorite feature, the zipper in the back {hello fabulous zipper that helps me easily slide my sweaty sports bra off. I know you’ve been at the gym before looking like contortionist trapped in your sports bra}.

I’m also wearing the captain ankle tights {which I haven’t taken off for almost 2 days, don’t judge me}. I love the high-waist and sheer, mesh panels behind the knees.

Both of these items are from alala’s new 3-piece wardrobe capsule. Get this look here. Bonus, get 15% off your order using promo code: NML15
