Fit Review Friday! Athleta Mindset Sweatshirt, Brooklyn Wide Leg Crop Pant + Limited Edition Collection Allyson Felix!



Happy Friday everyone! Finally a fit review Friday. This has been one crazy stressful week for me. BTW I still have not received my Seawheeze order. 😟 How are you guys doing? Hopefully you're all well and safe. I have a quick Athleta review for you all. 

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. I'm typically a size XS/PXS in Athleta and a size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.



The color I'm wearing is currently sold out. The size XS is semi-fitted. It does have a curved hem in the front and back. I don't mind the back being curved but wasn't a fan of it so much in the front. I think it makes my belly poof out a bit. The fabric is also super soft on the outside, but I found it to be a little scratchy on the inside. Which I thought was very unfortunate. It is a lightweight sweatshirt, and great for layering. It does cling a bit to the body since it is on the thin side. Other than the scratchy inside, I did find the fit to be comfortable. The neckline wasn't too high or too tight. Maybe in another color the inside would be softer? It gets fantastic reviews on the website so I had high hopes for this. Unfortunately the scratchy inside was a deal breaker for me.



This is my second pair of Brooklyn Wide Leg Crop Pant. I first purchased this in the abalone gray and I love it so much I'm back with a pair in navy. I'm wearing size 2 petite which is a size up from what I normally wear at Athleta. I do think a 0P would have worked as well but I wanted this to sit a little lower on my waist. The fabric is super light weight which saw why I love this so much. It's great for hot summers here in Atlanta. I know people are already thinking about fall, but fall starts late here. I want to say we have at least another month of hot weather before it gets any cooler.





Can you tell I love these, especially paired with my Allbirds wool loungers? They have a new color called pitaya that looks like lilac purple but I wonder if it's too similar to my gray pair. I admit I'm addicted and I definitely have a problem. LOL.

In other news, a new limited edition Athleta collaboration with Allyson Felix was just released this week. I do like the vibe and the look of some of the outfits but it might be too much for my petite size.


(I like the color, but not crazy about the metallic vibe. Too 80s!)

(I am very impressed this collection is available in petite sizes! Lulu needs to take note!)

(This is the one item I am interested in trying. I am not crazy about the price tag tho!)

(Okay I lied, I actually like this one too, this one looks a little more unique than the jacket.)


What do you think of the collection? It's very sporty and definitely has a strong edgy street vibe which I like, I am just not sure I could pull it off. 😅 I might try the Legend Mesh 7/8 Tight just to see if it would really fit at the ankles. I spy a zipper and those are always something I avoid. As always I wrap up my post with the new additions to WMTM.

(I already have all three colors.)


(This isn't new, but it is back and fully stocked. I love mine.)

(Runs a little small at the waist.)


That's it for me! Hope you all have a great weekend!

  1. How I wish there's Athleta in Canada! If you ship to Canada, I imagine there's a demand for your gently used Athleta items! Thanks for the quick comments on Lulu WMTM items! I spent a small fortune on formation camo tights!

    1. Hmmm not sure if there is a demand for Athleta in Canada. That's a good question. Any Canadians care to comment on this? lol.
      I used to not care for camo, but it's definitely growing on me! I'd like to add a few more shorts in camo.

    2. I think a lot of us Canadians are interested in Athleta! Would be great if you take up the role of an agent and take care of ordering and shipping LOL!

  2. Vuori makes their joggers in a camo print, I just got myself a pair. It’s a dark color combination and I like it a lot!

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. ...

Did You Know There Are Two Different Ugg Companies? Review - UGG Lowmel

  So I was shocked when I learned a couple of months ago that there are actually two UGG brands. The original UGG since 1974 is the original Australian brand that are made from sheepskin. The other is an American company with the big G uses synthetic fabric and are made in China/Vietnam. Here are the two different logos.  The one the left with the big G in the middle is the company that's made in China/Vietnam. The one on the right is the original UGG since 1974. Each pair is made in Australia! I had no idea and feel so duped. I didn't learn this until after I bought the Lowmel's which are very popular at the moment. But I will order a pair from UGG since 1974 so I can support the original brand. Plus I really want to experience the real thing and I will report back my findings. 😅 That said, I still actually really like the Lowmels. UGG Lowmel Sand   Size Kids 4 I typically wear size 5.5 and I decided to try the kids size 4 which actually fit well, if just a smidge large...

First Impressions! On Cloudmonster Void

  Happy Friday! I've been branching out into other brands for footwear. I mentioned in a previous post I just don't think my Allbirds are cutting it anymore. Allbirds are more of a casual walking shoe. Anything over 10K, my feet start to hurt. I have tried Hokas, and they seem to be decent so far, I can walk 12K steps a day and haven't had issues. However, I am loving the On Cloudmoster Void even more! For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds which is my normal street size for sneakers and I am also wearing size 5.5 in On Cloudmonster Void. On CloudMonster Void Ivory | Wolf Size 5.5 (Currently on sale for 20% off -  $135) I'm not a huge fan of logos on my shoes. I decided on this colorway because I love the light gray and lilac combo and it does have a big On logo, but it blends in nicely with the colors. It still has a minimalistic vibe.  This shoe has a 6mm heel to toe shoe drop. This is a good height if you're a heel to toe striker which I am. This is...
