Fit Review! Allbirds Wool Cardi Ironbark

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. We are still working on the bedroom renovation. The flooring is finally done but there are finishing touches we still need to do. Then it's a matter of waiting for all the furniture to arrive. It's looking really nice though! I'm very pleased with how it's turning out.

Today I have an Allbirds review. I love their footwear but I've been meaning to try one of their merino wool cardigans for awhile. I was waiting for a pretty color and when Ironbark popped up, I pulled the trigger.

For reference 4 feet 11 and I'm wearing size XS in Allbirds. Lululemon tops I usually wear a size 4. 



This cardigan is super soft. It's made of 100% merino wool and not itchy at all. The sleeves are a little too long but I cuffed them up and it works well. The ribbing matches the trim on the cardigan. I'm wearing size XS and it is a bit too big overall and boxy. It kind of reminds me of a grandpa cardigan. The ironbark blue kind of adds to the feel. The length offers full coverage and hits at my lower hip. 



This is a medium weight sweater and has a fairly amount of stretch to it. It's very comfortable. If I'm being really picky, the one thing I did notice about the seams, they are not a solid blue but shows a bit of white. I'm not really sure what's going on there, but it takes a little bit away from the luxe feel. 



The buttons are very large and made of recycled polyester. 

Also wearing Ebb To Street Tank Size 6
On The Fly Pant Size 4 (old) similar here.


I do wish there were pockets.

This definitely reminds me of something I would throw on at home, I am not sure I would wear this one out of the house to be honest. The cut is just a little too big and a bit boxy. But I do love the color and the super soft feel of this sweater. In the end after going back and forth I decided to return this one. This would definitely work better on someone taller. 

Care tag, Carbon Footprint tag, and extra button.

I would love to try this long version Cardi but I do think the length will be too long for my petite frame. I'm sure this would fit more like a duster length. Maybe one day they will make petite sizing! Or perhaps, XXS. That's it for me! Hope you all have a great start to the week!

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed

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.
