Fit Review! Werkshop Joggers

When I saw Werkshop was releasing Joggers I knew I wanted to try a pair.  Personally I wear comfy clothes around the house and sometimes I will even wear my Align Crops to lounge in.  I also have a couple of pairs of sweatpants from Victoria's Secret that I love.

I debated between sizes XS and small for a while.  My initial gut said XS but then when Werkshop commented on Instagram that most people who wear size XS would most likely prefer the small, made me second guess myself.  So I ordered both to see.

What do you know, the XS fits!

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and wear a size small in Werkshop leggings and a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms.


First thing I want to point out is the waist band.  It is super stretchy and nothing like their leggings.  These also sit below the waist and are supposed to hug your hips.  I'm pulling them up a bit because otherwise they give me diaper butt.  


The fabric is smooth on the outside and on the inside they feel brushed.  Werkshop pointed out that the smooth outside prevents pet hair from clinging to it.  Always a plus if you have fur babies.  I also love that these come with pockets.  


One of the things I was worried about was the elastic around the calf.  I have super skinny calves and most of the time joggers are always too loose around my calves and they just fall down instead of hugging it.  I have that problem with my In Flux Crops.  I may have to sell those in place of these.  The elastic on these joggers is amazing.  They are actually tight around my skinny calves!  This is amazing!


One other thing about the waist band, I actually prefer rolling them down.  This way they sit lower and also pull the crotch up a bit to prevent the diaper butt I mentioned earlier.  I actually like wearing it this way a lot.  Tell you the truth, I haven't taken these off since I got them yesterday.  


Length wise, the joggers are a little bit too long for me in the legs which is why you can see some bunching up of the fabric around my knee.  It's not a deal breaker since I'm mainly going to be wearing these around the house as lounge wear.  I also want to point out the little eagle logo is reflective.  I love little details like that.  


Werkshop also notes that these aren't made for workouts.  I have to agree.  The most I would use these for is maybe doing errands and some casual walking.  


Here is a back shot.  Note that the waist is rolled down.  Otherwise, the butt looks saggy on me.  This way it's more flattering and pulls up some of the extra fabric on the pant legs.  If I wore this normally, the seat would be very deep.  Almost like MC Hammer pants.  Anyone remember those?  LOL.

I'm exaggerating of course, but you get the idea!



Overall I'm very pleased with these.  The price point is $84 a pair, which is steep but right now they are having a 20% off coupon which makes these $67.  The coupon expires Monday.  I think I do want to get another pair but can't seem to decide on a print.  Which one of these is your favorite print?  I'm leaning towards butterflies and maybe the camo.  



Werkshop 20% Code- THANX20 expires Monday at midnight.

  1. You convinced me to take advantage of the werkshop sale. Debated among black, butterfly, and camo and decided on the camo in XS. I am a typical 2 or 4 in Lulu bottoms.

    By the way, just found your blog and played catch up yesterday. Your down to earth attitude is refreshing. Your fit reviews are so helpful since I am a fellow addict who is about one hour and a half from the closest LLL store. I will be visiting your site often :). Thanks!

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 ...

  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.
