Upload! August 14th 2018

Nothing for me this week! I'm still on my ban so I can only look anyway. BTW, I can't believe it's already the middle of August! On the bright side, my ban is holding and going strong, although I miiiiight break it on Thursday... if I do I'll definitely write about it here. Hope everyone is having a great week and if you purchased anything from tonight's upload let me know!

Review! Lululemon's City Street Cardigan & Banana Republic Logan Trouser

I know I'm not the only one who dreads Sunday nights. Just thinking about tomorrow makes me feel anxious. I haaaaate waking up early for work. The night before I try to at least think about what bag to switch to and that makes me feel a little better, but not by much. It also helps if I can come up with a nice outfit to wear on Monday.  Every so often I'll see if I can spruce up my office outfits which is what today's post is about. For reference I'm 4 feet 11.  City Street Cardigan Heathered Mystique Size 2 Banana Republic Logan Trouser Fit Cropped Size 2 - more on this later. This cardigan caught my eye because of how pretty heathered mystique is. I'm a sucker for lilacs and shades of purple in general. This piece is made of cashlu. It feels heavy and soft to touch. It's definitely a fall piece. I was surprised at how dense the weave is. For this piece I went with a size 2. I would say the fit is true to size but the sleeves are super l

Fit Review Friday! Pack It Down Jacket & Hooded Define Jacket

Happy Friday everyone! Before I went on my ban I placed a Lululemon order for the Pack It Down Jacket and the Hooded Define Jacket in nulu. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops. Pack It Down Jacket Mauve Stone Size 2 For this jacket I was able to size down to a 2 since it isn't too form fitting. There's not a lot of room to layer however. If you're looking to layer I would get your normal size. This jacket has 700 fill goose down insulation. I also like that Lululemon noted the down feathers are certified to Responsible Down Standard . It makes me feel better about buying a new down jacket.  This jacket is definitely a no frills jacket. There really isn't anything special about the design. It's as plain as you can get from Lululemon. There isn't a logo anywhere except when the jacket is fully zipped up. You can't see it when it's half zipped.  The jacket looks great when zippe

Upload! August 7th 2018

I'm a week into my ban and so far so good! Tonight's upload has some pretty pinks and camo prints that I like but will hold out until my ban is over. This Scuba in vintage mauve is very pretty and I'm pretty tempted. The Align Crop in camo is also calling my name. I'm pretty sure both will sell out by the end of the month in my size though! For those not on the ban, let me know if you ordered anything!

Spending Ban Challenge!

I like to do a spending freeze two times a year. This usually takes place every February (what I like to call Frugal February) and another in August. By the way, I cannot believe it is already August! This year is flying by. Lately my spending has been out of control. While I'm not spending as much as I used to on athletic gear, it's switched over to handbags. Handbags can be way more expensive than clothes so I need to reign it in and enjoy what I have and all that. This month I am only going to buy what I need and what my cats need. Spending money on food is okay. If I run out of something like toiletries that of course is fine to purchase. But no shopping at all on bags, clothes, Amazon purchases, etc. I did however make one last purchase from Lululemon before I went on my ban. So I will have at least one or two reviews for the month of August. I may have to haul my butt over to the mall and do some store try ons. I have been lazy about going to the mall these day
