Fit Review Friday! Align Short & Time To Thrive Jacket


Happy Friday everyone! It's the week before Black Friday sales hit and I'm hoping Lululemon has something worthwhile to buy and I'm also waiting for Athleta's 20% off sale to start. There's a few things I'd like to order. And of course I'm still trying to come up with Christmas gift ideas for my sister and hubby. Everyone else on my list is already accounted for.

 Today I'm reviewing the Align Short and Time To Thrive Jacket (which is really a sweater).

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

 


 I just want to say, I really really love this sweater. I wasn't expecting to like this at all, so it was definitely a surprise when I tried it on and instantly knew it was a keeper. The merino wool is very soft and not itchy at all. I'm wearing my normal size 4 in fitted tops and it's perfect. It is slim fitting but I do expect it to loosen up after a couple of wears. The merino wool is forgiving and stretchy.


At first I couldn't decide between silver drop and dark adobe, but decided to go with a neutral. I saw dark adobe in person over the weekend and I think I may order that one as well. Dark adobe is gorgeous in this sweater. This is such a versatile piece that I think it can work at the office as well as a layering piece for outdoor activities. This sweater is so comfortable I've already worn it a couple of times and it's a piece I know I'll be reaching for a lot. 


One of my favorite features about this sweater is the hidden thumbholes and double cuff for extra warmth. And boy do I need the extra warmth right now. It's freezing in Atlanta! The temperatures will drop to 29 degrees. I'll be having some hot cocoa tonight after dinner. 





This sweater is pricey at $128 but I think it's well worth the money. Next up, the Align Short. Ever since Lululemon discontinued the 19 inch Align crops for 21 inches I have not purchased another pair. My wallet isn't complaining even though I whine about it still. Will Lululemon draw me back in with the Align Short?


I went with my normal size 4 and I find that it fits exactly like my other Align crops. They sit right at my belly button. The nulu fabric is buttery soft as expected. The opening at the thigh is comfortable. I didn't feel like it was tight or restricting. The length I thought was perfect at 4 inches even on my short legs.




If you love Align bottoms you will love these too. I'm tempted to keep these, but I am not really in the market for shorts right now. I can definitely see me adding a few to my closet over time though. I'm just debating if I think dark adobe is the right color to keep! What do you think of the shorts? 

That's all for me tonight! Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

  1. That sweater is pretty awesome and to be honest I had overlooked it until seeing this review. I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket so maybe...

    Also, thanks for reviewing the align shorts. Didn't like them online but have since changed my mind and might snag a pair for hot yoga. :-)

    1. Woo hoo! If you get the sweater let me know if you love it as much as I do. I'll probably end up keeping the Align Shorts, who am I kidding... =)

  2. Thanks for doing the review on the Jacket and you made me wanna order it! I prefer Silver Drop over Dark Adobe cos it pretty much goes with everything. It’s kind of pricey though and I will seriously think about it!

  3. Just checked and couldn’t find the Time to Thrive Jacket on the Canadian site. Looks like it’s sold out!

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 ...

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.
