Fit Review Friday! Cates Tee, Adapted State Jogger, Wool Whenever Crew

 

Happy Friday! Are you guys done with your holiday shopping? I pretty much am. Shipping has slowed to a crawl as expected and I'm hoping everything arrives on time. Today I have a bunch of new reviews for you all. This is part one. Part two will be posted on Monday.

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

Cates Tee Sublimado Pigment Dye Cadet Blue Size 4

The Cates Tee has always been on my radar but I never wanted to pay full price for a cotton tee - $48. Ouch, right? When this one hit WMTM for $29 I decided to give it a shot. I purchased my usual size 4. I like the casual boxy fit and the length hits right at the top of my hips. It's really not too short at all on my petite frame. I also bought this in the gray sage color as well. Interestingly enough, the gray sage feels much softer compared to the faded cadet blue. 



It's a very comfortable tee. The crew neck is generous and have no issues of it feeling tight. For $29, I still feel it's too high but at least I know I'll get use out of it. I really like the look, especially for summer as it is a very thin, light weight tee.


Next up, by special request I have the Adapted State Jogger in chambray. I'm wearing my usual size 4. I'm actually surprised the chambray is currently sold out. Makes no sense because to me, as this is a very spring color. I chose it because I figured it would photograph the best out of the colors available. 

Adapted State Jogger Chambray Size 4


My inseam measures 25 to 26 inches. I'm on the shorter end of the spectrum. The Adapted State Jogger measures 28 inches in the size 4. As you can see it is very bunchy at the bottom. The waistband is fairly tight on a size 4. There isn't that much stretch to it, which is surprising. Although, I didn't find it uncomfortable, so I would say it's true to size. Sizing up would definitely be too big. The waistband is also high rise and covers my belly button. 



There is a zippered pocket to keep your items safe guarded. There is also a zipper at the cuff. The fabric is soft and made of quick drying material. These are designed for running, which may explain the tight waistband? I would not consider these for lounging.

(I have the pant pulled up a little bit to show zipper detail.)

Last item for today is the Wool Whenever Crew in Savannah, also a fit request. I ordered my usual size 4, but I think I could have sized down in this top. The fit is quite boxy and slightly oversized. If you prefer this look stick to your usual size but I think this would have been more flattering in a size down. 

Wool Whenever Crew Savannah Size 4

(The zipper is a very long ribbon pull.)

There is a zipper on the back, which I didn't expect for this sweeter. This is a medium heavy sweater and it's also lined on the inside making this extra warm and thick. It's also very soft as well. This is a wool blend, fleece fabric. The length isn't too short on me either, I would say it hits around mid hip. It is slightly shorter in the front, longer in the back.

(Lined in soft cotton jersey.)


Full price is $128. I think this is a little steep and I do expect this to be marked down. I didn't find it very flattering, but it is a warm sweater. The savannah color is very festive for the holidays. That's it for me! Let me know what you think of these pieces. 

(Close up for texture.)

Have a great weekend!!

  1. Oooh - thanks for the review of the jogger! I've been eyeing them in Regatta Blue, but the reviews didn't seem great. The cuff at the bottom reminds me of a cheap Walmart windsuit or something, too. I hope we get Regatta Blue Aligns.

    1. Hah, it's actually black but because it's a close up the camera on my phone made it look lighter than it really is. But they're Werkshop!!! and I love them. They're my go to if I'm looking for a solid black. They don't pill which is a major plus.

  3. The Cates Tee looks flattering on you! Thanks for the review of the Adapted State jogger. It's definitely too long for petites!

    1. Thanks! I do like the fit of the Cates Tee, it's just a tad expensive for what it is. Agreed on the jogger. I have never found a pair from Lululemon that works for me.

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...
