Fit Review! Define Jacket Exhale, Precision Jacket, Wunder Under Crop, Race To Pace Run Hat

I went to a couple of Lululemon's over the weekend.  I was looking for a few things to try on in person.  One of the items was the Define Jacket Exhale edition in red grape.  I have the regular define in bordeaux drama with some laser cut holes in the back and thought if I liked the new version better I would sell my old one.  Fortunately the new Define Jacket did not meet my expectations.  

Define Jacket Exhale in Red Grape Size 4

I took my usual size 4 in Defines, but this one was noticeably lumpy.  The pockets have seams across them and when I zipped up the jacket you can see the seams very clearly.  I did not like this at all.  They also made the stripe going across the top part of the chest thinner.  You can see it in the above photo.  That also doesn't appeal to me.


The fit also seems to be tighter than my other Define Jackets.  I definitely prefer my older Define Jackets.  I think I may be done buying another more of these jackets.  The quality has definitely gone down while the price has gone up.  This one in particular is $128 + tax.  Easy pass.


Shown here are the Wunder Under Crops in Kara Blossom

I wanted to also try on the WU in kara blossom again.  This time I tried on the size 4 and 6.  It seems like these are made out of some kind of denim blend which makes them less stretchy than usual.  I'm usually a 4, but in these they seems super tight.  I tried the 6, and those were too loose.

I have to pass these up.  It's too bad because the print is awesome.  I also picked up this cute cap.  I'm not usually a cap kind of person, but with all the sun I'm getting in Atlanta, I can use the shade.

Race To Pace Run Hat in Blooming Pixie White

And lastly, I found the Precision Jacket in chain link lilac deep zinfandel, which I've been lusting over since Canada got it a few weeks ago.  But my usual size 4 was SUPER tight on me!


I was in a rush so I didn't grab the size 6 to see if that would have been a better fit.  I'm almost never a size 6, I don't think I have any Lulu in a 6 because it is usually too big in the arms and chest and the sleeves are always super long.  But next time I'm at the store I'll try on the 6 to see.


Back is super tightly stretched =(





I love the zipper detail!

The quality of this jacket looks amazing.  I love all the details.  At $118 I think I would have shelled out the money if it fit me.  The color is gorgeous in person.  The lighting in the fitting room is dark, so you can't see all the gorgeous purpleness in the jacket!  I may be back at the mall this Wednesday, so I'll let you know what happens!

  2. I really like Precision jacket but waiting for some discount. I have the define jacket *se version with little flare on back. It's my yoga go-to jacket everyday and i love it. I was thinking getting another define jacket and I guess i better go with classic one.

    1. I have 4 Define Jackets and wear them all pretty regularly. It's a little too warm now for the Herringbone one but it's so soft I love it to death. I want to add the Precision Jacket to my collection but want to see how the 6 fits me.

  3. Did you find you needed to size up on the precision jacket compared to the define jacket? Debating if I should pick one up on WMTM. Thanks!

    1. It depends. If you're petite and short like me, chances are if you size up it will be too big. I found it to be more snug than the define. But if you're of average height and taller, sizing up would probably work for you. But on my petite frame the arms were much too big. It fit everywhere on me except when I zipped it up. Too tight around the hips and waist. I tried the size 6 vs the size 4, and it didn't work. Too much material. If i were to buy this, I would get it in my normal size and just wear it open like a blazer.

  4. Yes looks good open as a blazer. I will try one size up to see how it fits. Thank you! Wanted to also say, love your blog! Thanks for all your posts and keeping us posted on everything lulu :)

Did You Know There Are Two Different Ugg Companies? Review - UGG Lowmel

  So I was shocked when I learned a couple of months ago that there are actually two UGG brands. The original UGG since 1974 is the original Australian brand that are made from sheepskin. The other is an American company with the big G uses synthetic fabric and are made in China/Vietnam. Here are the two different logos.  The one the left with the big G in the middle is the company that's made in China/Vietnam. The one on the right is the original UGG since 1974. Each pair is made in Australia! I had no idea and feel so duped. I didn't learn this until after I bought the Lowmel's which are very popular at the moment. But I will order a pair from UGG since 1974 so I can support the original brand. Plus I really want to experience the real thing and I will report back my findings. 😅 That said, I still actually really like the Lowmels. UGG Lowmel Sand   Size Kids 4 I typically wear size 5.5 and I decided to try the kids size 4 which actually fit well, if just a smidge large...

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. ...

First Impressions! On Cloudmonster Void

  Happy Friday! I've been branching out into other brands for footwear. I mentioned in a previous post I just don't think my Allbirds are cutting it anymore. Allbirds are more of a casual walking shoe. Anything over 10K, my feet start to hurt. I have tried Hokas, and they seem to be decent so far, I can walk 12K steps a day and haven't had issues. However, I am loving the On Cloudmoster Void even more! For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds which is my normal street size for sneakers and I am also wearing size 5.5 in On Cloudmonster Void. On CloudMonster Void Ivory | Wolf Size 5.5 (Currently on sale for 20% off -  $135) I'm not a huge fan of logos on my shoes. I decided on this colorway because I love the light gray and lilac combo and it does have a big On logo, but it blends in nicely with the colors. It still has a minimalistic vibe.  This shoe has a 6mm heel to toe shoe drop. This is a good height if you're a heel to toe striker which I am. This is...
