Major Fit Review Friday! Athleta Studio Wrap, Eco Wash Daily Tank, High Rise Jacquard Chaturanga, High Rise Prism Chaturanga, Knot Zephyr Tank, Stronger Hoodie

Happy Friday everyone! Today I have for you a ton of Athleta reviews and about 30 photos. 👀 So get ready for a really long post. I'm also breaking this post up into three sections.  The first photo shoot was back in January before my ban. Last weekend I went to an Athleta store and did some store try ons.  I also placed an order for more items, so these photos are in chronological order. First we have the Studio Wrap . I've blogged about this wrap before and I love it so much I decided I had to have it in black also. You can check out my review of the Studio Wrap here . Studio Wrap Black XXS Quick recap, I'm 4 feet 11 and typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops and this translates to an XXS for Athleta. For bottoms I'm a size 4 in Lululemon and PXS in Athleta.  This wrap is so comfy and super soft. It's literally my favorite piece to grab for. I'm also wearing my Align Crops in alberta lake. I think it's perfect to wear with the Studio Wrap

USA / Canada Upload! March 8th 2017

Nothing for me today. I really haven't spent much on Lulu so far this year. I did buy a few things in January but I calculated up the total and it came out to $223.78. For February I spent zero on Lulu because of my ban. So far March I've spent again zero dollars because I used a gift card to purchase my new Swiftly tank. I've actually spent quite a bit more at Athleta by comparison. So far a little bit over $400. I've also decided to sell a few more things on eBay. So far 2017 is looking good for my bank account! Anything for you tonight?

Store Try Ons! Back To It Hoodie, Swiftly Racerback, Sole Training Crop

This weekend I went to two different Lululemon stores and neither of them had the NTS Jacket . But I did get to try this super comfortable hoodie, but it's not very flattering. It's kind of boxy on me but boy is it super soft! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms unless otherwise stated. Back To It Hoodie Size 2 I'm wearing this in a size 2 and I found it to be very roomy. You can safely size down in this hoodie. For $118, I didn't totally love it. It definitely looks better in person than it does on the models. Maybe I'll reconsider if it goes on WMTM. I got to try on a bunch of new Swiftly tanks in all the new colors. They're new to me since I haven't been to a Lulu in more than a month.   Swiftly Racerbacks in Dark Olive, Illuminight, Midnight Navy. Illuminight Size 4 I thought the Illuminight tank was a little on the thin side, the color was nice enough, but I wasn&#

Fit Review Friday! Werkshop Full Length Dark Sugar

For months I've had my eye on Werkshop's Dark Sugar leggings in full length. My size small was always out of stock. So finally, sometime in January before my ban started they restocked and I jumped on it. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically wear a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms. In Werkshop I prefer the size small. Full Length Dark Sugar These also come in crop length , but I prefer the full length for this particular print. The crop length is completely symmetrical on both sides, whereas the full length is slightly different on each side and I like that. Werkshop has complete photos of both from every angle for you to compare the two.  Werkshop is known to be very compressive so if you prefer your bottoms to fit casually I would go up a size. The downside for me is the full length is so long that the ankles tend to bag out, as you can see in the below picture. I'm debating on hemming these a few inches so they're not so long on me.

Thoughts on Frugal February and my Current Wish List!

Every February I make myself go on a shopping ban. It seems like the right thing to do post holiday shopping. Just to give you an idea of what my January spending looked like, I spent $627 just on activewear alone . Talk about crazy, right? I spent about $465 on an interview suit, button up shirt and shoes which I think paid off, since I got the job. Then I went to New York and decided to get new glasses and contacts which totaled to $476. Those are just some of the big ticket items in January. This month was completely different. I did however need some new work clothes. Here are my results for Frugal February. Food - $75.28 (this includes lunches purchased at work and supermarket runs, although I'll admit my husband pays for most of the groceries) 😂 Taxi- $18.17 (I don't drive and on the days I couldn't catch a ride from my husband or co worker I paid for Lyft or Uber) Work clothes- $242.84 (purchased two pairs of pants, a sweater and tank) Phone case - $12
