Fit Review Friday! Wunder Under Crop Scallop, Align Crop Monochromic, To The Beat Tight



Happy Friday! I also can't believe it's already April! I placed an order yesterday for a handful of items to review. The package is due to arrive tomorrow. These are items that some of you have requested. If the weather cooperates I'll do a photo shoot this weekend. I also received a pair of Werkshop leggings but I think I need to send them back for another pair. The stitching is really off on the backside. First time I've ever had a imperfect pair of leggings from Werkshop. I have no doubt they will let me exchange it for another pair.

Today I have a few pairs of leggings for review. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms.


This pair is the roll down version but I really was not able to roll these down in any way in my size 4. I did find these to be true to size. If I rolled them down it would give me serious muffin top. These are very high waisted and hit above the belly button.



The length is 23 inches and hit at my ankles. I'm sad to say these are very loose around my ankles. As for the bend over test, I wore navy underwear and you could not see the underwear at all, BUT I could see the rip tag very easily. I assume as long as you remove the rip tag, everything should be fine. 


Next up I have been wanting a pair of Align Crops in print or pattern and finally found a pair to keep! I will have to get these hemmed unfortunately, but I'm okay with that. I also have not bought a new pair of Align Crops in probably over a year. 


These are true to size. The fabric is not as soft and buttery as my other Align Crops. They feel almost like full on Luxtreme. As for the bend over test, found these to be 100% opaque for me.

I'm going to have three inches taken off.


I think this pattern is super flattering. When the light hits it just right, it looks like a technical piece. I'm very pleased and excited. I can't wait to get these hemmed!


The last pair of tights being reviewed today is To The Be at Tight. I purchased this in my usual size 4, but this one runs very very small. I would say to size up one whole size. If you're in between sizes you might have to go up two sizes.


The waistband was so uncomfortable I could barely keep them on for the photo shoot and you can tell by my face in the photo below. 😫 Although, I should mention that these fit normally in the hips, legs and thighs. It was just the waist that I found too small.

I was so not happy!


The fabric is Everlux and feels very soft and smooth. The length of these is 24 inches and I actually really liked the length of these. I also found the seams to be well placed. They did not bother me in any way. These also passed the bend over test.


The ankles were just a little loose on me. Not enough to look bad. Here are some more photos in the sunlight. I do think the plum shadow color is a very pretty burgundy/purple.



That's all for today! Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! I don't have anything planned besides the photoshoot. Fingers crossed.

  1. The Align Monochromatic Black has always been on my wishlist. It looks great on you! Thanks for the WMTM update! I haven't tried on any of the WMTM dresses but I'm tempted to get one. :D

    1. Thanks! I thought it was sold out on the website, but I randomly checked last week and they had my size in stock so I jumped on it.=)

  2. Thanks for the reviews. I’ve always preferred Nulu to Luxtreme pants in terms of comfort but now that you mentioned the Align Crop Monochromatic Black Emboss feels like Luxtreme, I’m wondering if I should order WU Crop in the pretty Washed Marble Titanium Deep Coal (full on Luxtreme) instead.

    Would you recommend getting the WU Crop in mid rise or low rise (too bad it doesn’t come in high rise)? Which one tends to create worse muffin top?

    Appreciate your advice!

    1. Hmmmm tough call, but if I had to choose one I would probably go with mid rise. But it's tricky. Maybe try both and see which one you find more comfortable.

      I'm hoping they will release the washed marble print in the Align Crops!

    2. Thanks, Leslie! I also hope Washed Marble Titanium Deep Coal will come in Align Crop cos some people commented that WU in Full On Luxtreme wouldn’t stay in place. Tough call indeed!

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.
