Fit Review! Anthropologie- Cambridge Knit Blazer & The Essential Cropped Flare Pant


How is everyone doing? Due to the coronavirus, the entire company I work for is working from home this week as a "test week". Chances are we will probably have to continue working from home for a longer period of time. My husband is going stir crazy. Meanwhile I'm fine with staying indoors. It's like a staycation to me. 

This shopping excursion took place a couple of weekends ago when everything wasn't so scary out in the world. I went to Anthropologie for some new work clothes. I wanted to pick up a new blazer and a pair of pants. 

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically a size XS in Anthropologie. I'm usually a size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms. By the way, the lighting in Anthropologie was very dark and yellow, so the photos look a little too warm. I tried to adjust some of them. Some came out okay, others are still too warm like the one below.



I was really surprised at how much I liked this blazer. The fabric is a very cozy knit. Very soft and super comfortable. The size XS is a tad big on me, but I feel like it still looks professional. I love the way it fits and the patch pockets are a plus. The color is green, but it really looks gray to me. 



The Essential Cropped Flare Pant are perfect for petites. I'm wearing size XS and the length is perfect with my booties. The length is 27 inches long. This is a pull on style that is very comfortable. The only caveat is no pockets at all. The plaid motif and the leg lengthening seam that runs down the pant is very flattering. They're also currently on sale! I can already tell these will be a favorite of mine and will get worn a lot. 



 Something random- I saw this sign and really got a good laugh.


In other news, Lululemon announced they are shutting their doors until March 27th. I think the entire world should just go on a mandatory shut down for two weeks and just get it over with. I hope things return to normal soon, but I have a feeling things are going to get a lot worse before they get better. 


I've been getting a lot of emails from all the brands I shopped at in the past. I understand they are trying to build brand loyalty with these emails. I always read them and see if they are going to compensate their workers during the time the stores are closed. So far I've seen this from Rothy's, Allbirds, Anthropologie, and Lululemon. Makes me love these brands even more. 

I will do my best to keep my blog up during this time. I like having some sort of normalcy in my life. I hope you're all staying indoors and being good! Stay safe everyone.

  3. I love the whole outfit on you! Very chic indeed! I don’t usually like double breasted jacket but this one looks amazing. Love the color and texture, and it does look very cozy.

    Not a big fan of patterned pants but this pair looks amazing on you. Very flattering and makes you look taller! :D

    1. Thank you! Back in the day I used to only shop at Anthro. They used to post new items up for sale on Tuesdays, I think and I would check every week!

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.
