RED ACTIVEWEAR

Making a statement with this red set from Forever 21 today! Red is not a color I wear too often because it's such a strong color but isn't that exactly what you need to have a killer workout? This set always makes me feel pretty awesome and gets me super motivated to kick ass at that day's workout. I paired this set with these awesome training shoes from Nike. They're super comfortable and the neon floral print is super bright but not so much that it's in your face. I would say they're my new favorite shoes but that only lasts a few days since I have sooo many different sneakers lol.
