Fit Review Friday! First Mile Jacket, Align Crop Alberta Lake + Nike Free RN Distance

Happy Veterans Day to all those who served our country and happy Friday to everyone!  I haven't been able to get to the store this week yet, but this was from last week when I went to the mall quickly.  I ended up ordering the Align Crops when I got home to take advantage of the 8% cash back from Ebates.


For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically a size 4 in tops and bottoms.  These fit exactly the same as my other two pairs.  I have one in indigo and another in darkest magenta.  I felt the color was definitely different enough to justify owning both indigo and alberta lake.


Alberta lake is definitely a lighter blue with a bit of green mixed into it.  Reminds me of my favorite Crayola crayons when I was a kid, blue-green.  The color is dark enough that panty lines aren't as visible.  That's usually my biggest problem with Align Crops in lighter colors.



I'm still lusting after this jacket.  I tried it on a couple of weeks ago in the size 2, but the size 2 is way too tight across the shoulders and back.  The size 4 is definitely a better fit.  The price is still very off putting, so I didn't buy it.  $228 plus tax is steep for this jacket considering there isn't any down filling.  But it's on my wish list and when it goes on WMTM, I'll get one then.  



I decided darkest magenta is definitely the color I want over black, especially since I purchased the Athleta's Down To Town Sweatshirt in black.  I have a review here.


The sleeves are longer and looser than the size 2, but I guess I can live with that.  I always fold up my sleeves anyway.  


Last week I ordered these Nike Free RN Distance in white/silver.  These run small so I had to go up half a size to a size 6.  My usual size in Nike is 5.5.


These are on sale right now for $79!  I've already worn them a couple of times and while they look so pretty in white, they do show dirt pretty easily.




This is the first time I've ever owned a pair of white sneakers.  I blame it on Kayla Itsines for making me want a pair.  She is too cute.  She also has legs like a gazelle.  I'm so jealous.    


Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

  1. Have your Align crops pilled at all?

    1. I have a pair of Align Pants that I got about a year ago that started to slightly pill. The ones I've bought this year are so far still like new. I do expect the fabric to pill though, just because of how soft it is.

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed
