Fit Review Friday! Store Try Ons! Press Pause Pullover, Speed Up Short, Wunder Under Crop SE,

Happy Friday everyone! I have a couple of store try ons this week. The Press Pause Pullover is actually quite flattering on my petite body.

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



For most relaxed fit tops I can usually size down. This was the case for the Press Pause Pullover. I grabbed a size 2 and the fit was perfect. No pulling at the shoulders or chest and it was very comfortable to wear. The fabric is mid weight sweat shirt material. For $98 I didn't think the fabric was as soft as I would like it to be so I passed. I may reconsider if I see it on WMTM. 


I'm wearing Speed Up Shorts underneath the pullover. As you can see the length of the pullover covers up the shorts completely. The pullover actually could be worn as a mini dress if you're super petite like I am! The kangaroo pockets are nice for warmth but I'm not completely convinced the side seams are flattering.


Next up I grabbed the Speed Up Shorts to try in Aeon to try. I definitely like the fit more than Speed Shorts, but I wonder if they flare out a bit at my thighs.


See the flare? Yay or Nay?

I really do like the color though. It's similar to black grape but slightly more purple/blue. I'm trying to be patient to see if Lulu will release some cute prints. Verdict? This is a maybe, it's on my wish list. I'm just not 100% sure I need it. At this point, I'm a collector and will only purchase pieces I feel are special enough to add to my Lulu collection. If I was a newbie I would have snapped this color up already. 


In this photo, it doesn't flare out as much if my leg is straight. Hmmm....

 Lastly I was super excited to see the special edition of the Wunder Under Crop with the scalloped hem. I missed the chance to try them on last time they were released and was super jealous when I saw Mighty Kacy wearing a pair of these. I can't find a photo of it right now, but Kacy has a serious Lululemon collection too. Sometimes I wonder how is it possible that certain pieces fit her so perfectly. She's only slightly taller than I am, but she's definitely much leaner.


These are so friggin soft I wish they fit me better! Unfortunately the scallop hem are so loose around my ankles that they look sad. Sigh. 




The ankles are just a disaster on me. They fit everywhere else though. This is one of those times that I wish Lululemon offered petite sizing. Wee are from space silver spoon is my first choice for these crops. Night tide would be my second choice. But alas, neither are meant to be.




I really loved how soft and feminine this sweater is, especially in mink berry. The photo doesn't do it justice. 

This is a pretty accurate photo of Deep Rouge in the Box It Out Bra. It's a very pretty shade of red.

That's all for me! Hope you all have a great weekend! Stay safe if Irma is heading your way... I have to say I'm a little nervous but hoping for a miracle. Miami will need all the help it can get.

  3. I bought the special edition WU and though I'm an inch shorter they seem to work out really well for me. I didn't order the Press Pause but I had to size up so much in the Sunshine Coast sweater to fit my shoulders that I wear it as a dress and I love it!!

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.
