K-Deer Kids Sized Leggings! Alexis Stripe!

So I finally caved in and bought the Alexis Stripe leggings when I saw it was back in stock in my size.  Which is a size large in kids.  =)

I read the reviews on the women's sizes and I didn't think the XS would work on me since they have a very high rise.  I fear the waist would be closer to my chest than my belly button.  So I thought the kids version might fit me better.  Also the inseam on the women's leggings is ridiculously long.  32-34 inches.

And ta-da!  The kids leggings fit me perfectly.  The length of these is absolutely perfect.  I have a 26 inseam, which is very short.  The waist is stretchy and fits fine.  No muffin top or anything.  I did workout in them and sometimes the waist does roll down a little, but I can live with it.



If anyone wants to see full body shots leave me a comment, and I'll see what I can do.  May have to grab my husband or set up a make shift tripod somewhere in this house where there aren't boxes everywhere.  (we're still unpacking)

I may buy another pair of these, they are just so much fun!  I'm currently eyeing the Laura Stripe and if the Jennifer Stripe ones ever come back in stock they're mine.  Also the price is so much cheaper than the women's version!  $48 compared to $88 for the cropped version.

Update- Got the Jennifer Stripe.  Here's a modeling shot.

    I've been eyeing K-Deer leggings for awhile, and these look so fun! Do they offer free shipping and returns at all?

      Shipping is $5 I believe. And I don't think they do free returns. But they are very true to size. If you're in between sizes I would suggest to size up. They go on very tight kind of like panty hose, these do not slide on. But once they're on they fit like a glove!

      Hmmm, will need to think about it :/ I'd hate to order the wrong size and have to return! And I can't order both sizes if no free returns... Your pics and Agent Athletica's make them look super tempting though!!

      OH, your first order with them you can get a 10% off coupon when you sign up for their emails! That helps a bit with the shipping cost. =) But yeah, I lucked out getting my size right.

      Thanks! Trying to figure out sizing. If I'm a size 8 in lulu, with a 27 inch inseam on my pants, would a kids XL be too small? The inseam measurements seem perfect, but I don't know how much they would stretch 🤔

      I think the waist and inseam would be fine for you. I think it depends on how much hip you have? My hips are 33-34 inches, so i would say the max hip would probably be a 36 for kids in the size XL? They do stretch a bit.

      Hi there, I updated the post with a modeling shot. I'm strictly a 4 in almost all my Lulu bottoms. Rarely a 2. My waist is 26 hips 34 and the Large fits me pretty perfectly. I'm 4 feet 11 and 100 lbs. Not much compression but they do have to go on like panty hose. And no muffin top issues for me. Hope that helps!

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...
