Fit Review! Florence Speed Wunder Tight Nulux!


When I first got them in my hands, I thought the fabric felt different from the marbled mix version.  If I remember correctly, the marble mix felt more soft and a bit of a texture to it, sort of spongy?  Can anyone verify that for me?  The florence version is smooth, no texture at all and reminds me very much of Werkshop leggings but without the compression.

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


Here I'm wearing my normal size 4.  They feel like second skin, very comfortable at the waist.  It hits just below my belly button and no muffin top.  The waist band is very wide at about 3 inches.  As you can see the length is very very long on me. 


The lace print is intricate and detailed.   Lululemon released a video describing the work that went into this print.  All the leaves and honeycomb were hand drawn and then graphically placed so every pair looks exactly the same no matter what size.

That's Nero's Tail =D

There's a large zippered pocket at the back of the waist to store your keys, cards, cash.  The one question everyone is wondering, did these pass the bend test?  The answer is yes with flying colors.  I tried super bright underwear and even used a flash light just to be sure.  They are 100% opaque.  I wonder if the see-through ones were just a bad batch?  

One of my pet peeves are dark crotch seams.  I am really not a fan, but I think the dark seam is a better choice than a white seam, if those were the two choices.  What do you think of the dark seams?  

Scrunched up ankles.

 One thing I've been playing around with is folding the extra fabric under, instead of hemming them.  I think I may be able to get away with that.  I just worry if I kept these and got them hemmed, I wouldn't be able to sell them as easily down the line if I needed to.  These are $128+tax so I paid roughly $138 for them.  These would be the most expensive pair of leggings I ever bought if I kept them.


 

I decided to play around and came up with some outfits if I were to wear these out casually.  Here I am wearing my AllSaints moto jacket in oxblood for a little bit of leather and lace.


 This last outfit I threw my heathered bark berry Scuba on.  I should have switched to sneakers, but I forgot.  





What do you think?  Should I keep them?  I can't decide.  I'm leaning towards keeping them, but the dark seams, price and the length are keeping me from 100% loving them.  On the other hand, the comfort, detail in print and the leg lengthening look makes me want to keep it.

  1. I like the design of the dottie tribe WUP better than these. I feel like this print is a little widening on the thighs, which is crazy bc you have super skinny legs. I would have tree trunks in these leggings!

    1. I did love the dottie tribe WUP but if I remember they only came in hi-rise and I really dislike hi-rise on me, they totally cover my belly button and it just feels weird. But I feel like these aren't as thigh widening as the marble mix. I tried those on and from the side they really made my thighs look huge!

  2. They look nice on you! Although they would have to be perfect for me to justify the price. That black seam in the front would bother me. They could have used a gray thread. Ot- did you order the werkshop crane print? Have you received them yet? If so, i'd love to see a review :)

    1. True about gray! That probably would worked a lot better. I did send back the Geisha leggings last week, so hopefully they will ship out my Crane pair soon. I hope to have a review of those up sometime next week. I hope I really love those.

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 Friday! Allbirds Tree Glider

  Hi everyone! I'm posting from New Orleans. I'm hitting up a Lululemon while I'm here. I always like to visit other Lululemon stores when I'm traveling. I was planning on having an Aviator Nation review for you guys but Hurricane Helene threw my plans out the window. So I will try and have it up when I get back to Atlanta. In the meantime, here's an Allbirds review.  For reference my street size is 5.5. I'm usually a 5.5 in Allbirds, but for the Tree Gliders they run large. I took these in a size 5. Definitely size down. I've partnered up with Allbirds! Super excited to share my  personal link . Click on  my link  for a 15% off.
