Fit Review! Runderful Pant and Chilly Bomber

Yesterday I went to the Natick Mall to see if they had the Runderful Pant that's now up on WMTM for $79 marked down from $128.  That's a decent amount of savings of almost $50.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches.  I'm a size 4 in bottoms and fitted tops.  Outerwear I size down to a 2.

I tried on my regular size 4 in bottoms, I am almost never a size 2.  The lining feels like a pair of Wunder Under tights and the outside is thin and bunchy.  Once you get them on, they are pretty comfortable to wear.  But I just couldn't get over how clingy the fabric was and how wrinkled and bunchy they looked on me.  Maybe I should have tried on a size 2?  But I doubt that would have helped much.  Super easy pass!

My face says it all!

I also tried on the Chilly Bomber in black/heathered deep coal.  I took my usual size 2.  It felt a little bit tight around the arm pit area, and the material on the outside of the jacket is somewhat stiff so I didn't find it too comfortable to wear.  It was actually a bit restrictive.  

Chilly Bomber Size 2

I found the jacket to be boxy and straight cut.  It was not very figure flattering on me at all.  It is lined with 650 fill goose down so it is very warm. 



The hood is very thick and substantial.  Not flimsy at all.



Inside lining


The sleeves attract all kinds of hair, dust and lint.  If you have a pet I suggest to keep them away from this jacket!  The sand/dune heathered ghost might be a better color as long as you have light haired pets!  


Overall, this bomber is definitely not for me and I definitely didn't think it was worth the hefty price tag.  Even on mark down, it wouldn't tempt me at all.  

One last thing, the fitting room attendants at the Natick Mall are not very helpful.  I was waiting on line behind a mother and son for a fitting room.  One attendant let the son into the fitting room and then disappeared.  Then another attendant came around and asked the mother if she needed any help.  The mother told her no, that she's waiting for her son in the fitting room.  The attendant then looked at me holding the bomber jacket with the pants and just walked away.  Didn't even ask if I needed a fitting room.  I had to wait a few more minutes before the first attendant came back to let me into one.  Sometimes I wonder if it's because I'm so short, I'm so easily overlooked?  This happens to me enough times that it becomes questionable.

  1. I thoroughly enjoy reading your reviews, and appreciate your honesty. Yes, the look on your face said it all about the runderful pants! Lol.
    I'm sorry to hear about the poor service you received in the fitting room. Last year, I frequently encountered a really mean educator. I'm usually not bothered too much, but I felt very annoyed and avoided lululemon altogether for weeks and didn't visit that location for months. When I finally ventured back, another kinder educator noticed me and remarked that she had not seen me for a long time. I told her my reason, and she said there had been numerous complaints made about that educator. That helped a little. And in all honesty, I haven't seen that educator since. Hope yours was an isolated incident.

    1. Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying my blog. I know they're called educators, but most of the time I already know all the things they're telling me! I just kind of nod my head and say thanks. It's kind of funny how they just randomly start talking to you. Thankfully I usually go to the Chestnut Hill one and they're always pretty nice to me there. Let me know if there's anything else you would like to see a review on!

  2. Thanks! Unfortunately (or fortunately!), nothing is really appealing to me at lulu right now. Maybe tomorrow's upload will bring new treasures.

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...

Fit Review! Aviator Nation Navy Hoodie 5 Stripe

  Is it already Monday? This weekend just flew by. For the first time since early 2020, I met up with a friendly neighbor and we went out for dim sum. At the end we hugged since I hadn't seen her in forever. I told her, "You're the first person I hugged since the pandemic started that isn't my husband!" 😄  For today's post, this is a hoodie I've been dying to try for months but kept putting it off because of the price tag. Aviator Nation is not cheap. Not a whole lot makes me pause because I'm used to seeing Lululemon hoodies priced at $128-$138. Aviator Nation comes in at a whopping $189.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and I am wearing a size XS in Aviator Nation. For Lululemon tops I typically wear a size 4. 5 Stripe Hoodie  Navy Size XS The interesting thing about Aviator Nation is their hoodies are unisex sizing. The available sizes are XS-XXL. The female model is shown wearing size XS while the male model is shown wearing size large. I took a c...
