Fit Review- J.Crew Ribbed Cotton Cashmere Hoodie and Jogger Pant

 


How is it already Monday again? The weekend went by way too fast for me. I know it's summer and everyone is wearing shorts and tank tops, but somehow I'm still wearing my joggers and hoodies. I guess it's become my "safety blanket" during the pandemic. Especially when I'm just hanging out at home. Plus, J.Crew's cotton-cashmere line has really impressed me so I wanted to try another matching set. 

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XXS in J.Crew. I'm usually a size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms. 


How cute is this set? Some may recall my Heather Gray cotton-cashmere set from a couple of months ago,  and I really loved wearing it so much I wanted to get another set in navy. The Ribbed Cotton-Cashmere Hoodie caught my eye. It's an oversized fit which is why I went with size XXS but I also think the XXXS would have worked too. The sleeves are long and very wide, there are no cuffs so I had to roll them up once. 



The hoodie is ribbed which adds a bit of texture and lines. The kangaroo pockets are a little thin, I don't think they would be super functional but it adds a nice visual. Besides making a great lounge hoodie, it can also be used as a cover up as well. 


These joggers are the same as my heather gray and love the fit. The length is very petite friendly. They measure 27 inches long. My preferred inseam is 26 inches so there is a little extra fabric at the cuffs but I still think it works nicely.


Love the drawstring and pockets. Mid-rise waist.

Since this set is cotton-cashmere it is machine washable. I have already washed my heather gray set a couple of times in the delicate setting and used a drying rack. It washes beautifully and I'm definitely a fan of cotton-cashmere since it is still very soft, but not as delicate as pure cashmere. This set is currently on sale too. In the end I really wanted to keep this but I just spent too much on Aviator Nation! I have a review coming up on that haul. 



That's it for me! Hope you all have an amazing week!

  1. Cute outfit on you! Looks comfortable. I’m interested to see what you got from Aviator Nation and your reviews on it. I wasn’t sold on their Five Striped hoodie but I was curious enough about them that I recently purchased their Bolt Stitch Repeat hoodie in red and did really love that!

  2. I like the ribbed texture of the hoodie which makes the whole outfit more interesting. The jogger looks so comfy and I love that it’s mid rise. Not liking any of the high rise joggers lululemon is offering lately.

    1. Hi Andrea, I have given up on finding joggers that fit me from Lululemon. It just won't happen unless they release Asia Fit and even then I am not so sure...

  3. hi Leslie~ Thanks for the fit review! This lounge set looks very comfy! I haven't ordered anything from J. Crew since they closed all the physical stores in Canada. While it's still possible to order online, I hope the chain will reopen some stores when the pandemic is over.

    1. Hi Karen! I'm the total opposite, all my shopping is done online... I almost never visit stores anymore. Even though stores are open, I still like to shop online!

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.
