Fit Review! Speed Tight V in Variegated Knit

Hello Monday!  Here is a Special Review Monday (couldn't think of a snappy name that starts with a M) since I didn't have a proper Fit Review for you guys on Friday.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically wear a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms.



Speed Tight V in Size 4

Last time I tried the Speed Tight V, I accidentally picked up a size 6 which was a bit too loose.  I ordered these in variegated knit to give a proper review.  Fit is true to size.  If you're in between sizes I would size up.  I found these to be slightly compressive but nothing major.


Length is also an issue for me and these are too long of course.  You can see in the photo if I had them hemmed (3-4 inches) I would lose the reflective detail.  


(photo to show how much I would need to cut off if I got these hemmed)

Waist is mid-rise which I prefer.  The variegated knit is slightly scratchy when I initially put them on. However, by the time I was finished with the photo shoot, I didn't notice the scratchiness anymore.  The fabric also feels slightly on the stiff side.  I expected these to be more soft like herringbone, but I guess if you're a hardcore runner, they would not hold up if the fabric is too soft.  

The pocket on the side is a nice feature.

If you don't to hem these, the slouchiness in this photo isn't bad actually.  My inseam is 26-27 inches.



Overall, I definitely love the look of the new Speed Tights.  I did not find these to be sheer in the bend test.  Because I'm not a hardcore runner and don't run outdoors anymore I am returning these.  I'm glad I tried them and hopefully this post will help some other petite runners out there who are looking for a review.

    1. I know you're a big fan of the Speed Tights. I went to the store today quickly to see if they had anything new but nope. I did pick up a new FTB Zen bra tho! Pretty excited about that.

  2. Omg, they look so good on you! I am also not a big outside runner, but they are incredibly nice,) Maybe one could used them for hiking? (Looking for some reason to buy them,))

    1. Sure, any outside activity would do. Don't see why you couldn't wear these for hiking also! =)

  3. I returned my speed for the same reason : little too long on me too. I love the design tho! And this print is really cute on you too! Thanks for review!!

  4. They look great on you. I like the color contrast of the seaming on the variegated knit. Since you don't run outside, you reallly don't need the reflective detail anyway. Keep the pants and hem them- they really complement you!

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...

Fit Review Friday! Allbirds Tree Glider

  Hi everyone! I'm posting from New Orleans. I'm hitting up a Lululemon while I'm here. I always like to visit other Lululemon stores when I'm traveling. I was planning on having an Aviator Nation review for you guys but Hurricane Helene threw my plans out the window. So I will try and have it up when I get back to Atlanta. In the meantime, here's an Allbirds review.  For reference my street size is 5.5. I'm usually a 5.5 in Allbirds, but for the Tree Gliders they run large. I took these in a size 5.
