Hope everyone had an amazing weekend! I went to Avalon yesterday to make some returns and I had no problems returning the Strongfeel Training Shoe I purchased from WMTM. I was issued a gift card and was on my way. While I was walking around I noticed a lot more people were wearing Aviator Nation, especially teenagers. The whole time I'm thinking, wow how do they afford it? Or dang their parents must be really rich! I know my mom would have smacked me for even looking at something that expensive when I was 12 years old. 😆 Kids are lucky these days!
For reference I typically wear size XS in Aviator Nation and I also wear size 4 in Lululemon tops.
I know skinny jeans are no longer in style, but I can't seem to trade them in for wide leg jeans. I wouldn't mind trying straight leg jeans or something slightly looser than these. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have not tried on new jeans in a long time. The one I'm wearing are really old Athleta jeans from maybe 4 years ago? I'm just happy they still fit. 😆
Aviator Nation released a relaxed fit version of their 5 Stripe Hoodie. The relaxed hoodie features dropped sleeves. It's slouchy and slightly oversized. I actually don't find the sleeves to be too long or bothersome. They cuff keeps them from going past my wrists.
I'm wearing my usual size XS and love it so much. I asked my husband if he thought it was too big and he said it looks really cute and flattering, so it's a keeper in my book! It's super soft and cozy. This is a hoodie that I can wear all year round because it's very lightweight even with it being lined in fleece. If the neon stripes aren't for you, they do have another version with their signature rainbow stripe.
That's it for me! Hope you all have a wonderful start to a brand new week!

And more colors!
hi Leslie! I haven't bought jeans for years now. I've been spoiled by the comfort of leggings and joggers, and now I can't go back!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! I'm totally with you, I live in joggers and Softstreme but my husband likes seeing me in jeans. (grumble) so I keep a couple of pairs around.
DeleteHi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute hoodie and I love that it’s slouchy but not overwhelming on your petite frame. The color is gorgeous too!
Just wish it was not that pricey! :D

Hi Andrea! Thanks! I try and wait until they have sales for all my purchases. They do have them pretty often.
DeleteI got the neon stripes in purple. At first, I wasn't sure if I liked the relaxed style, the sleeves have almost a dolman feel, but I agree that for being "oversized" the fit is flattering. I'm liking it more now, especially with a pair of cutoff or slightly tighter shorts to balance them out. I'm loving the sky blue on you!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is in high school and I see quite a few of the girls wearing Aviator Nation. I was surprised too, but decided if their moms are wearing it, then it was only a matter of time. My observation is that they usually have 1 or 2 that they wear on repeat. (So, they are getting more for their money per wears than me!) I'm embarrassed to say that I've got a large collection going, so I gave a lesser worn one to my daughter. That could also be how the younger kids are ending up with them too?
I like Risen jeans for the straight/bootcut style. Fairly stretchy and comfortable. I bought a few pairs that are kind of between skinny jeans and the full flare. I can't do wide leg jeans, it makes me feel unattractive. A more fitted bootcut works better for me. I do still wear the skinny ones sometimes, and then mix in the bootcut ones.
Hi Stacy! I love the purple one too. I'm hoping they release more colors in this style. Hahaha, you and me both. Since I started buying two years ago, my collection is slowly getting bigger. I have to cut myself off from buying more pullovers. True, I do think passing down to teens is probably what's happening most of the time, either way, they're some lucky kids!
DeleteThanks for the suggestion, I'll look into the Risen jeans. I can't do wide leg jeans, but straight leg I can do. I haven't tried bootcut in a while. May have to get some and see if that's changed?
