Fit Review Friday! Naked Cashmere Joni, Anita, Lilia

 

Happy Friday! Fall is definitely in the air because I've been looking at Naked Cashmere's September Collection. Cozy sweaters and pullovers are going to be my work from home outfit for the next few months. My office was planning on re-opening after Labor Day, but with the Delta cases on the up tick, they decided to push it back till mid-October, but I think honestly, we won't be going back until next year. 

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. I wear size XS in Naked Cashmere. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon tops.



I actually purchased this Joni cashmere pullover hoodie in Sandy earlier this year and love it so much I decided I also needed to get it in Storm Gray. It's a light weight cashmere at 286 grams and feels super soft. I've purchased cashmere from J.Crew and Banana Republic and I can say that sometimes I have found their cashmere to be itchy which is weird because cashmere should not be itchy at all.



I'm wearing size XS and it is slightly oversized which I prefer. It's the perfect combination of athleisurewear and cashmere that emanates luxury. This outfit is what I am looking forward to wearing this fall. 


(Currently sold out, but Light Stone is another fantastic neutral.)


The Anita crew pullover is made of cotton cashmere (85% cotton and 15% cashmere) and it's easy on the wallet (compared to 100% cashmere) but doesn't compromise the quality or the softness. I'm wearing size XS in Cappuccino and it's a beautiful shade of camel. It's very rich in color. Cotton cashmere has a beautiful drape as well. 

also wearing Athleta Seasoft Straight Pant Size XS Petite


The hem hits at the high hip, the sleeves are just a tad long but look great pushed up. I think this is a petite friendly top that looks best tucked in the front to create a effortless drape. Cappuccino is currently sold out, but I also love the Light Stone color which was my second choice. As an alternative, J.Crew has a beautiful cotton cashmere pullover in Heather Caramel (on sale $68.50) it's like half the price of Naked Cashmere. I reviewed it in black and wear size XXS. There's also a matching jogger which I love. To be honest, between the two I think J.Crew definitely gives you the best bang for your buck and it's also machine washable! 





Last but not least we have the Lilia relaxed crewneck also made of cotton cashmere. I am wearing the Light Stone color in size small. I decided to size up in this top because of the cropped length. It measures 17.5 inches long with short sleeves that come up to my elbow. This also has a raw hem that rolls slightly. 



This top is perfect for super casual days made for lounging around/running errands. It's slightly boxy and would look great paired with black leggings. It's a nice option for transitional weather. I've already worn this piece on date night and love it.



Out of the three pieces, my favorite is definitely the Anita cotton cashmere crewneck.  That's it for me! Hope you all have a great weekend!

  1. hi Leslie, Thanks for the fit review! My favourite on you may be the Lilia relaxed crewneck. I like the boxy, cropped cut and angled seams of the sleeves! The Anita crew pullover is also very flattering on you!

    1. Hi Karen! Thank you! I a won over by cotton cashmere. I think I'll just switch to that instead of pure cashmere from now on.

    2. I agree! I have pure cashmere scarves, but for sweaters, I prefer cotton cashmere because they're machine washable!

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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 a love/hate relationship with c

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. It's a tiny chip that I didn't even notice until my dentist pointed it out to me during my last visit. I'm not looking forward to it at all since I will need local anesthesia. Anyway, today I have a belt bag size comparison review for you all! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.
