Fit Review! Athleta Elation Shimmer Tight

Hi everyone. For tonight, I thought I would give you a peak behind the curtain on what goes into this blog and why I only do two reviews a week plus an upload. I have a full time job and my husband and I do a lot of things around the house (including taking care of our three kittens and 19 year old cat). If I didn't have a full time job I could probably write more fit reviews. I used to post something new every other day when I was unemployed and looking for a job.  There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes. I spend a good amount of time browsing the internet for things I might be interested in writing reviews about. Orders get placed and then there's the waiting time for my purchases to arrive. Photo shoots only happen on the weekends because of lighting. The best time for natural lighting are between 9am to 11am and I can't do that while I'm at work. Photos take a long time because I don't have a photographer. I do all the photo taking myself on a

Fit Review Friday! Ivivva Set To Go Jogger Rulu

Happy Friday everyone! This review is a continuation of my last post  reviewing the Huddle & Hustle Hoodie which I ended up returning. I'll reconsider if it ends up on WMTM. The color is amazing and it is very comfortable but the sleeves are very very long on me. Here's a new fit review! Ivivva's Set To Go Joggers are made of soft rulu and I'm very pleased with how these fit.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and a size 4 in Lululemon's Aligns. Here I'm wearing a size 12. Set To Go Jogger  Size 12  The rulu feels soft and light to medium weight. It's not the thick rulu if that's what you're hoping for. I actually prefer the thinner rulu because it just doesn't get as cold in Atlanta. The waist is elastic with an adjustable drawstring. The length is puuuuurrrfect. My inseam is 26 inches and for once I do not have extra fabric hanging around my ankles. My hips measure approximately 34 inches and

Upload! October 2nd 2018

Looks like the US finally got the City Trek Turtleneck . It's very pretty but not for me. I just do not do sweaters or turtlenecks. It IS very pretty though, so I get why people are obsessed with it especially in the smoky blush color. BTW, Happy October! This is probably my favorite month of the year. What do you think of tonight's upload? City Trek Turtleneck Smoky Blush Free To Be Wild Bra Floral Bloom White Star Ruby (I kinda like this? Maybe if it ends up on WMTM, since I don't need anymore bras ATM.)

Fit Review! Huddle & Hustle Hoodie

Huddle & Hustle Hoodie Smoky Blush  Size 2 Another weekend finished! Good news, I have a bunch of reviews coming up. I managed to take a lot of photos this weekend. I have to spread them out though. Apparently our August ban was so successful, my husband wants to do another one for the month of October. 😑 I guess I'll be heading to the mall a lot for store try-ons.  Today I have for you a review on the Huddle & Hustle Hoodie in smoky blush. I am a lover of all kinds of pinks and nudes so of course I picked smoky blush. My second favorite color in this hoodie is the heathered speckled jet blue.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and typically a size 2 in Scuba Hoodies. I purchased a size 2 in the  Huddle & Hustle Hoodie  as well. Right off the bat, this hoodie is shorter than the Scuba Hoodie. It hits right above my hips and definitely shows off my bum as you can see in the below picture. Second thing I noticed, the pockets are placed in
