Fit Review Friday! Speed Short H20 Double Gradient Yum Yum Pink!

I totally wanted to love these shorts.  Was even willing to shell out $68+tax for them.  Except sadly I tried on the size 4 and 2 and neither of them worked for me.  The size 4 was huge and baggy in the butt.

Speed Short H20 in Yum Yum Pink Size 4

Front didn't look awful in the size 4, just a little loose.

I am wearing the Yogi Everyday Tank in Heathered Rugged Blue.  I found it on mark down for $39 so I picked it up.  

However, the back of the butt looks super deflated and sad.

The thigh is also super loose on me.

I tried on the size 2, and while the fit was much better in the butt, I found the waist to be too small.  It gave me a slight muffin top, which is not cute!  It would be fine if I decided to only wear it for working out and wore a tank over it, but I wanted to get these so I could wear it to the pool or beach.

Size 2- much better fit, but it pinched my waist too much for my tastes.

Improvement on the butt, but not by much!

Thigh definitely fits much better in the size 2.

So because of the price and fit, I decided to leave these home.  I also thought the color wasn't as vibrant as I had hoped.  I ended up buying a regular solid black Speed Short H2O in my regular see 4. And I ordered this Free To Be Bra.   


Hopefully this will work out, otherwise I'll return them both.

Have a great weekend everybody!

  1. Hey I have been following your blog for a bit. Thank you for your hard work. I was wondering if you could give my an opinion about the scuba III color way. I currently own the lovely heathered bark berry and would really love a blue scuba. I am looking at purchasing on the lulu black market eBay or poshmark. Could you tell me what you thought about sapphire blue, double dot and the lakeside denim hero blue. Thank you, Ang

    2. Hi there! I love the heathered bark berry. That's one of my favorite scubas. One thing to note the double dot and lake side denim hero blue fit more snugly than your heathered bark berry. The ones with prints/patterns are also stiffer and feel more restrictive. I do love lakeside denim hero blue and would have bought one on sale but they already sold out in the size 2. I ordered the 4 to try but it was too big. The 2 fits better but it's just not as comfortable to wear. The double dot is great because of the zipper. Zipper is really cool. But if it weren't for the zipper I probably would pass it over. From the solid blues my favorite is heathered alberta lake. That color was only released to Canada. There's some on eBay but they want $$$. The US did get a alberta lake scuba but in the terry version. I'm not a huge fan of terry because the material is thinner and not as soft. It feels almost a bit cheap to me. So I didn't get that when it was released. I guess my order of preference would be-

      Heathered Alberta Lake
      Lakeside Denim Hero Blue
      Double Dot

      Here's a link to my favorite, but no size 2. Or else I would have considered it.

  2. Thank you so much for the info, I really appreciate it. Did you get to see the heathered sapphire blue? That was another that sounded soft... I will diffinatly look into the heathered Alberta lake on too. Sounds lovely

    1. I like that color, but it doesn't really call out to me. Maybe because it looks like a purple blue color? But the heathered scubas are definitely soft.

  3. It's killing me seeing the heathered Bali breeze in Australia. I want it so bad! I did get the Alberta rain scuba and it is not as soft but still feels really nice to me. I am a cotton fan though. Lightweight for summer.

    1. I'm surprised Australia got the bali breeze color as they're in winter season at the moment. Maybe it will get to US/Canada eventually? Oh you got the alberta rain in the terry version? I've never seen it in person but the other colors I've seen sometimes can be hit or miss. If you got that one maybe the heathered version is too similar.

  4. The heathered Alberta lake might be too similar but it is stunning. I would not pass it up for a good price. I was thinking Bali in the winter for Australia is strange but Australia must not be thinking that since it is almost sold out. I am hoping for the Bali breeze to be released tomorrow! Thank you again for your help and suggestions.

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in.

Review! Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap VS Everywhere Belt Bag Original

  Happy May! Can't believe summer is right around the corner. I'm looking forward to visiting my family later this month. It's been nearly a year since I've been back to NYC.
