Who doesn't love affordable clothes? My bra and leggings are both super comfortable and won't break the bank! I've already talked about the Core 10 brand on Amazon and how much I've loved their products so far and these leggings are another Core 10 winner. I also just love this color combo. It's definitely not my go-to color scheme {aka black lol} but I am now sold! Shop this post via the links in the text or the widget at the end of the post!
