I Tried Dopamine Dressing at the Gym and It Changed My Approach to Working Out

For a day of interval training on the treadmill at the gym, I styled Athleta's Solace Keyhole Bra ($49), Interval Stash 5" Short ($69), and Easy Fleece Mid Rise Jogger ($89), all in the brand's recently-released Valley shade. With the addition of a green Head Start Beanie ($28, originally $39) and my neon New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4 ($250), it was quite literally impossible not to match the brightness level with my energy.

This was purposeful, as I wanted to bring the heat and give the workout my all — they do say green means go, am I right? I also loved the idea of slipping back into the matching sweats and beanie for my coffee stop afterwards. Looking forward to this fun "reward" led me to progress through my intervals with a little more power.
