Hope everyone had a great weekend! I'm back in Atlanta and tomorrow I start my new job. I'm really excited and also kind of dreading waking up super early again. My hours are 8am - 5pm and I'll probably have to get up around 6:30 or so. I'm really lucky the office is only a 10 minute drive or if I feel like it I can also walk it but that will take me about an hour.
Before I left New York, I managed to stop by a store quickly to try on the new Nulux print in Flux. I absolutely loved it! It's really stunning in person and very vibrant. I actually had some more gift card money to use so I didn't pay full price for it.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and typically wear a size 4 in bottoms.
I will probably get these hemmed because they are long on me. I have the folded underneath and they're slightly baggy in the ankles even so. I'll wear these mostly likely to the gym and even out casually to do errands. These are not compressive at least to me. I find them super comfortable.
The inside is lined with a mint blue green color and passed the bend over test. The colors faded a little bit in the deep squat but not much at all. These were opaque for me. I'm happy to announce that these are my first Nulux tights!

I'm wearing my normal size 4 and the Nulux fabric feels like butter. I love it. The rise sits right underneath my belly button.
The colors are super vibrant. My thighs do look a little bit thicker in these, but I think the colors are so intense and gorgeous I don't even care. The pictures here really do not do these tights justice.

Last thing I want to mention, I'm going on a ban in February. Every year I do this and I call it Frugal February. If anyone wants to join me, please do! I'm only allowing myself to purchase things that I need and I'm also allowed to spend money on food and books. It's really hard to not shop and sometimes I fail but I really do try my best. I've got two more days before my ban starts!
Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Love your new WUPS. Good luck with the new job today 🍀 🌠 I get up at 5am to jog before work, or 6am if I don't jog. Ugh. I will join you for the ban as I have been naughty this month 😀
ReplyDeleteWow, 5am is rough! I don't know how you do it. Do you go to bed by 10pm? Yay, glad you are with me! I've been semi bad, mostly Athleta purchases. =T
DeleteGood luck with your new job!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds very hard but I will join you for the ban too. I will allow myself to only shop for survival foods and a gift for Valentine's day.
I hear lots good reviews on new Nulux tights. I must go check them out before February comes!!!!
You only have 1 day before February! Let me know what you think of the Nulux tights. First day on the job wasn't bad, so far so good...
DeleteThey look beautiful on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Shelley!
DeleteYes, I am joining you and Agent Athletica for the February spending ban. I did order the light grey Studio wrap using a $35 reward. After getting the Athleta credit card, it is amazing how fast I get reward :). Anyway, a reset is much needed. Good luck with your new job!
ReplyDeleteAre there any other benefits to getting an Athleta card? I'm thinking of getting it... Today is the last day to shop! Ban goes into effect in 5 hours. =T eeps!
Delete20% off coupon on a regular priced item a couple times in the last month but not sure if it is only sent to card holders. I believe early access to sales. There is also a code for expedited shipping, which alone is worth getting the card for IMO.
DeleteI just bought the sleet sprinter jacket from the Lulu in Lynnfield for $149 so I am good for now.
The expedited shipping would be nice. Athleta really does take forever to ship things out. I'll think about getting one after my ban is over!
