Fit Review Friday! Speed Short Mini Obscurred, Define Jacket Dusky Mauve & Essentials Tank!

I'm posting this a little earlier than usual.  I just couldn't wait!  Hope everyone has a great Friday!

So, I did some damage this week with the new upload.  I love the dusky mauve color.  When I saw it in the Define Jacket I had to have it!

 For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and normally a size 4 in tops and bottoms.


This Define Jacket is made of soft luon.  The fit seems to be a little bit and I mean just a tiny bit looser than my old ones.  The fit is perfect.  The color is what really makes this jacket a must have for me.  I don't have anything in my closet in this color.  


I have to point out because I'm super short, the Define Jacket is pretty long on me.  It hits at my hip and almost can cover my bum.  The price tag is $118+tax which is kind of steep.  Which means I have to sell some of my old Define Jackets!  I think it's worth it though.


The other thing I really love this week is the new print mini obscurred black dusty mauve.  When I tried it on at the store I wasn't totally convinced, but I decided to take it home with me and try it on again to see how I felt.  I could always return it if I changed my mind.  After seeing these photos at home, I am really in love with the print.  



I prefer my Speed Shorts to fit on the casual side.  I can also fit into a size 2, but I prefer the 4.  I'm just more comfortable in the looser fit.  The Swiftly Racerback I'm wearing is the new color that hasn't been uploaded to the website yet.  I am guessing it is Heathered Black Cherry according to the hang tag.  It's a super pretty purple/red.  Like a nice saturated plum.  


I think I prefer this print over Dottie Tribe.  But they're both different enough that I will keep both.  This now brings my Speed Short collection to 6?  I know that's nothing to many collectors out there, but I like to keep my pieces limited to a handful.  


And finally at the store I tried on the Essential Tank in the size 2.  A few weeks ago I tried the size 4 and it was much too big.  The size 2 is a much better fit, but as you can see it is still on the loose side.  



While I definitely like the tank, I didn't absolutely love it especially for the price of $58.  So I left them behind at the store.  Out of all the colors I think tiger space dye is probably my favorite so far.  




In other news, I went to the store today but didn't have my phone.  I tried on the new Wunder Under Hi-Rise Crop Full On Luxtreme in obscurred black print and wasn't crazy about it.  I also didn't like the fact that it was hi-rise.  It just covers my belly button way too much.  It did stretch white a little bit in the size 4.  I'm going to see if it comes out in the regular rise to see if I like it any better.  

By the way, did you guys catch this on today's WMTM upload?


I wonder if this means they are planning on jacking up the price of this tee?  That's just crazy though either way.  I have a few of these tees and love them, but I bought them all on mark down.  

Hope you all have a great weekend!

  1. They probably are increasing the price. I felt the same when I tried on the Deep Indigo Define. It felt softer and slightly looser but only slightly and also stretchier. I don't know if I could wear the Mauve because it looks like it would wash me out. You look good in all your try on! Thanks for the reviews!

    1. I don't know if that one is actually true, it could be just an error. But I agree I hope they don't increase prices on any other products at least until end of next year!

    1. Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I've only started collecting about 2 years ago, so I don't have quite the history in my closet. The way you guys talk about Lululemon years ago makes it all sound so dreamy.

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.
