Happy Thursday morning. I hope your week is going well so far! I'm currently in NY with my mom. It helps having her here, even though I miss my babies and Drew like crazy!!! I somehow don't feel as homesick because I have my mama here with me. I'm such a homebody so whenever I leave out of town I always get a little nauseated (so annoying, I don't know how to kick it other than to go back home) but we are having fun and having her here helps! I'm a grown women and still need my mom haha!

Ok let's talk about fitness wear that can transition into your day look. I workout in the mornings before my babes wake up. I come home, make my protein shake, drink it while I answer emails and then I'm waking my babes up, feeding them breakfast, getting Isla ready for pre-school, running out the door to carpools and meetings, etc.

I don't have time to get dressed most mornings so I usually stay in my workout clothes (It works for me because I don't sweat enough in my workout to have to take a shower immediately after to go in public). I always try and purchase a workout look that can double as a day look so I still want to look cute, pulled together and somewhat presentable if I need to run to the office for a meeting, lunch date or errands.

I can't workout in a lot of layers, it makes me feel claustrophobic so I always end up in a crop top and after I throw a cute jacket over. Here's how to get a workout look that can double as a day look!

Cute Jacket: This is a must! It can be light weight but it's going to be the statement piece of the look. Black is always my go-to. Start with a black jacket and then from there you can add more color.

Sneakers that are functional but cute: There are a lot of cue sneakers out there. Not all of them are functional. There are a lot of functional sneakers out there, not all of them are cute. My favorites for working out and running around the town are APL's and the Nike both cute, both functional! Hat: I don't have a hat on here but a cute hat is always a good idea, especially to cover un-done hair. Leggings: Black is always my go-to. So flattering and just works with anything! I usually don't wear shorts because I don't want to be running around in tiny shorts all day, especially if it's not warm. I can wear the leggings all day and feel comfortable and covered. Perfect for chasing my kids around! Right now my favorite legging or tight have some sheer mesh on the bottom. Such a fun detail!

Do you all stay in your workout clothes during the day or do you get dressed and ready daily? If you do please tell me your secrets!! ;)
