Fit Review! Lululemon Define Jacket in Rulu & Pleat It

I can't believe it's already October! Hope everyone had a nice and relaxing weekend! I got my Lululemon haul in on Friday and managed to take some photos over the weekend. Today I've got two Define Jackets up for review. I ordered the pleat it and rulu version.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and normally wear a 4 in Define Jackets, size 2 in Scuba Hoodies and size 4 in Swiftly tops.


Also wearing Align Crops in Lacescape Size 4

I was really excited to get this one in the jaded color. Jaded is a very deep, dark, and saturated blue. The color is absolutely beautiful. The fit is the same as all my other Define Jackets and true to size. 



The pleated detail adds texture and as you can see in the photo which I've enlarged to its original size, there is a bit of lace pattern there as well. I also like how the zipper pocket blends well into the seams. It definitely works. The price is $10 more than the regular Define Jacket. Is it worth $128 for the extra pleat detail? I'm debating if I should keep it or not. The pleats are only noticeable up close. From afar I think it looks like the regular Define Jacket. What do you think? Is this special enough to keep? 



The rulu Define Jacket is suuuuuuper soft. It's very comfortable and stretchy. I read some reviews where some say this is a size down item. I ordered my usual size 4 because I don't like my jackets to fit too tight. I would say this runs maybe a smidge bigger than the regular Define Jackets. Is it enough to size down? I'm not 100% sure I would say yes. The size 4 fits me pretty well for the most part. The only area where it feels a little loose is around the hips. It also looks a little longer because of the contrasting zipper. It kind of draws a line straight to my crotch, which I'm not really a fan of! 😬



This one for me is an easy return. While I love the comfort and feel of rulu, I do not think this one is as flattering as the regular Define or the Pleat It Define. I would reconsider if they released this in a solid heathered color without the contrasting seams or at least one where the seams are not as apparent.

*I'm looking for some feedback, do you guys prefer the original size photos or are you okay with my normal size photos? You can also enlarge all the photos to the original size if you click on them. Let me know which you prefer! Thanks!

  1. Jaded really is such a beautiful rich color and love the lace pleated detail!! If you love Defines and don't have any in a color similar to this - I would say keep it! Mmmm I love Rulu, so hearing you say it's superrrrr soft is definitely tempting. I'm not loving any of the colors, so will keep my eye out. Thanks for the review! Can't wait to see more! :)

    1. I'm thinking about it... so glad we have 30 days to decide now! I definitely don't have any that are similar to jaded. I have more purples and grays in my collection. No blues. So maybe?

      I agree, definitely not loving any of the rulu colors. I would hold out for something better.

  2. The Jaded Define looks beautiful on you. I actually like the pleats.

  3. You look great in both Defines, really sharp in the pleat it and cozy in the rulu. Hmm, tough call! I am tempted by both so thank you for the review. I decided not to buy more defines since Luon pills so easily and I have so many already. Rulu may be different though. I guess I am not helping you here.

    1. I normally try not to buy solid luon Define Jackets because of the pilling issue. I try and only stick to textured Defines. The jaded is so pretty with the pleating. But it probably will pill eventually. The rulu I really like, but I am going to wait for other colors.

  4. What weather should I wear this in?

    1. I think the jacket is a good transitional piece, great for layering. So probably spring and fall/winter.

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.
