Weekly Workout Routine: Mesh Insert Crops & Crop Top

These mesh insert Michi leggings are quite possibly the best piece of clothing I have ever put on my body.  I don’t mean to exaggerate; I think it’s true! How they can be so lightweight and super stretchy, yet also so supportive and tight without being uncomfortable is impressive.  That’s a balance many activewear companies haven’t quite yet mastered!  I’m also seriously loving that they are high waisted. {insert heart-eyes emoji here}

The burnt out Onzie top with the split back and fun sports bra are both flattering and totally made for each other! The top would also easily be worn with a pair of these and these for an easy, casual athleisure look!

SHOP THE LOOK:

Leggings here (similar styles/colors here and here) | Tank top (similar here and here) | Sports bra | Sneakers – mine are old- (similar here and here)

PS- You can find this exact entire outfit at Carbon38.  Use code BESSHAR50 at checkout to get $50 off your first order of $200 or more!  You can find the leggings here, tank here, and bra here.

And here’s this week’s workout routine plus some meals I’m putting together today to have ready for the week!
