Fit Review Friday! Aviator Nation Retro Crew Sweatshirt, Retro Hoodie, Ninja Pullover Hoodie

 

Happy Friday! I went a little crazy in January with Aviator Nation. I'm falling in love with their clothes more and more. Last weekend when I went to Avalon (outdoor retail space) I saw three people wearing Aviator Nation not including me and my husband! It makes me happy they're becoming more popular since I love anything to do with rainbows. Plus the clothes have a super soft vintage feel and they are made in the USA.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and wear size XS in Aviator Nation. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon tops.



The Retro Crew Sweatshirt is my new favorite. The fit is relaxed but not oversized. I'm wearing size XS and the best way I can describe the fit is cozy. If you're not a fan of cropped length pullovers, this one hits low hip. 




The color on the website says this sweatshirt is black, but it's more of a dark charcoal gray and not a true black, which is fine with me. The inside is lined with super soft fleece. When Atlanta gets too hot to wear pullovers, I am going to miss it! 




This is my second Ninja Pullover Hoodie. I love my Heather Gray Ninja Hoodie so much, I wanted a sanother color. I originally was going to purchase one in Navy, but Claret stole my heart. Unfortunately both colors are currently sold out but Aviator Nation does have restock notifications. I signed up for them myself in a few items. I'm waiting for some vests to become available - I really hope they do. It's on my wishlist.



This gorgeous shade of Claret isn't a true red, it's more of a soft cranberry color and while I don't have many reds in my closet, I feel like this one suits me well. It looks great with gray or black jeans. I can even wear them with my joggers. 



Last but not least, I could not pass up this Retro Hoodie in Vintage White. This is my second Retro Hoodie. My first Retro Hoodie, purchased back in December has been my go to hoodie. I was waiting for Vintage White to come back in stock and when it popped up in XS I bought it. 😆 At least I can wear the zip ups well into summer. Pullovers, not so much. 




Now that I've owned the 5 Stripe Hoodie and the Retro Hoodie for a few months, I have to say I like the Retro Hoodie more. The sleeves are not as fitted and I prefer the extra room. 



I said this back in December but this time I really hope I'm done with Aviator Nation for a while! Memorial Day will probably be their next big sale. I hope I can wait a few months before my next Aviator Nation purchase.


That's it for me! I hope you all have a great weekend! It's starting to feel like Spring and I am here for it. I want to go out and walk in the parks. I need some fresh air!

  2. Hi Leslie,
    I love all three pieces! Ninja Pullover Hoodie is the nicest one and while I’m not a red person, I would totally wear this beautiful claret color! The only thing that bugs me would be the white stitchings below the neckline in the back. I wish they used tone on tone stitchings to sew on the label. On well, maybe this is how the design team like it!:)

    Thanks for the review and have a wonderful weekend!

    1. Hi Andrea! That's funny you mentioned the white stitching because I thought it looked a little odd when I first saw it but after awhile, I don't even think about it anymore. It would be a little nicer if they used the same color thread for the box, but I guess they think it's a way for them to stand out.

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

  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.

Review! Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap VS Everywhere Belt Bag Original
