LESSON #2: THE 80s ARE IN!

And what screams 80s more than SPANDEX? It’s time to make your Jane Fonda dreams a reality and reach for the lycra leotard (worn over exercise shorts, ofc). If you’re not quite ready for that level of nostalgia, try a gym set paired with pastel-pink accessories. Consider this the hottest 1980 x 2022 crossover since, well, that pic of Margot and Ryan 🔥💕 Also, roller skates? Yes plz.
