LESSON #2: THE ’80s ARE IN!

What screams ’80s? Spandex, ofc! It’s officially time to make your Jane Fonda dreams a reality and reach for the lycra leotard (worn over exercise shorts, duh). If you’re not quite ready for that level of nostalgia, try a gym set paired with pastel-pink accessories. Consider this the hottest ’80s and '22 cross-over since, well, that pic of Margot and Ryan 🔥💕 Also, roller skates? Yes plzzzzz.

LESSON #3: TIME TO GET BUBBLEGUM GLAM

In Barbie world, committing to a look is everything. Sporty Barbie practically has her knee pads on, holiday Barbie is all about flowers in her hair, and punk Barbie brings the spikey ‘do/piercings/everythingggg – you get the gist. The lesson: our glam must be an extension of our vibe ✨ And Megan Fox nails it from head to toe (literally), even her eyeliner is in a gorge bubblegum pink. Bonus points for getting your other half in on the action, too 🤘
