We can't stop staring at photos of professional 800-meter runner Maggie Vessey. For one thing, she's really freaking fitspirational. For another, Vessey has teamed up with a designer to create her own personalized competition gear that features crazy colors, bows, and cutouts—and it's really freaking cool.
When her contract with New Balance expired in December 2013, Vessey used the opportunity to work with designer Merlin Castell and create her own racing attire, according to ESPN W. And while the pieces are super stylish, apparently they're also not uncomfy. "Generally they're really comfortable," Vessey told ESPN W. "When you're out there racing, you don't really think about it anyways. I wouldn't run in anything that wasn't comfortable."
Check out some of her most fabulous ensembles, courtesy of her Twitter feed:

Vessey also told ESPN W that she hopes that her fun outfits inspire others to "find their gift and their voice." Individuality is definitely a concept we can get behind.
