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!

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

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in. It's a tiny chip that I didn't even notice until my dentist pointed it out to me during my last visit. I'm not looking forward to it at all since I will need local anesthesia.

Review! Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap VS Everywhere Belt Bag Original
