Fit Review Friday! Store Try Ons. Breeze By Short Sleeve, Hotty Hot Short Rose Quartz, Contour Jacket


Happy Friday everyone! Managed to get to a store for some try ons. I wanted to check out the new Breeze By Short Sleeve in night tide because of how deep and saturated the color looked online.

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


I tried on my regular size 4. I really like the open holes that are incorporated in the top for ventilation. This top is semi fitted which I actually prefer over Swiftly short sleeves. It's very comfortable to wear. As for the color, I'm a little bit disappointed, it doesn't look as bright as it does online, but it's still a very deep and saturated blue. 


I would say this is true to size. I would not size down in this. I've added this to my wish list and hopefully it will end up on WMTM because for $68 it is a little steep! 


Next up, I'm trying on the rose quartz in Hotty Hot Shorts. This is the 2.5 inch inseam and I'm wearing a size 2.



The combination of night tide and rose quartz actually works well together. I did purchase the rose quartz so I can do some color comparisons over the weekend with dusty mauve and velvet dust. I have a feeling it will be too similar and it will be a return for me. The fit is the same as my other Hotty Hot Shorts. This is a size down from my usual size 4 in Speed Shorts. 


I also noticed the color is a super close match to my Highly Meditated Tank. It's actually tempting me to keep it because of the color match. We'll see. I'm trying really hard not to break my ban for this month.


Contour Jacket Pelt Size 4

Next up I also tried on the Contour Jacket in pelt and nocturnal teal. I grabbed both in size 4 which is what I wear in Define Jackets. The fit is actually quite similar to the Daily Practice Jacket and the Define Jacket. It's almost if they had a baby together. 


This jacket is made out of Nulu which is supposed to be super soft like the Align bottoms. I did not find it to be that soft to be honest. This jacket is definitely fitted to the point where it is skin tight. If you're in-between sizes, definitely size up. 


Contour Jacket Nocturnal Teal Size 4

I have a short torso and a decent amount of hips so this jacket covers my bum completely. It's also fairly tight around my hips too. If you have a longer torso, it should be very flattering.


I showed my husband the pictures and he said, "I like it, you look hot!" I'm not so sure I could pull it off. This item is a maybe on my list. This jacket may be useful in Atlanta weather though. 


Sleeves are always too long on me but I'm used to that by now.



What do you think of the Contour Jacket? Yay or nay? Did you buy it already? Would love to know! Hope you all have a great weekend!

    2. Thank you! It was time for a trim.

      The jacket is growing on me. Only thing is, if I leave the jacket unzipped it is a tent over my hips.

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! Aviator Nation Navy Hoodie 5 Stripe

  Is it already Monday? This weekend just flew by. For the first time since early 2020, I met up with a friendly neighbor and we went out for dim sum. At the end we hugged since I hadn't seen her in forever. I told her, "You're the first person I hugged since the pandemic started that isn't my husband!" 😄  For today's post, this is a hoodie I've been dying to try for months but kept putting it off because of the price tag. Aviator Nation is not cheap. Not a whole lot makes me pause because I'm used to seeing Lululemon hoodies priced at $128-$138. Aviator Nation comes in at a whopping $189.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and I am wearing a size XS in Aviator Nation. For Lululemon tops I typically wear a size 4. 5 Stripe Hoodie  Navy Size XS The interesting thing about Aviator Nation is their hoodies are unisex sizing. The available sizes are XS-XXL. The female model is shown wearing size XS while the male model is shown wearing size large. I took a c...
