Fit Review Friday! Store Try Ons License To Train Tight Fit Tank, Reversible Crossover Sweater, Push Your Pace Jacket and Huge WMTM Update!

Happy Friday! Last weekend I went to return a few things and walked out with one item. Let's see if you can all guess which item I went home with. 😆

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops.



This tank looked really small on the hanger, so I sized up. I'm really glad I did because even though the tank is super stretchy, I think the size 4 would have been too small on me. The size 6 still fits like a glove and is very form fitting/body hugging. That said it's also super comfortable and was not restrictive in any way. If you're looking for a new tank, I would recommend this one and definitely size up.


The Reversible Crossover Sweater has been on my list to try. The store also had this in Medium Forest which looks a lot like Tidewater Teal (which I love!) but I'm trying to transition to a neutral wardrobe these days, so I went with White Opal. 



I'm wearing my usual size 4 and the crossover hem hits right under my bellybutton. This would look great with a hair of high rise bottoms. The sweater is also reversible to switch up the length of the sweater. The sleeves are a little loose and billowy, but I like the style. This is very petite and office friendly piece. 


Fabric is soft Boolux, a combination of viscose, lyocell, and cashmere. The care instructions say to wash on delicate and line dry. However, reading the reviews, almost everyone complains about the sweater shrinking one to two sizes after washing. A lot of people suggested dry cleaning instead, which costs money. My suggestion is to use Dryel. I use it for a lot of my cashmere and wool items with a lot of success. It's so much cheaper than dry cleaning. I'll also link to it below.


Push Your Pace Jacket Sonic Pink Size 4 (on sale $139!)


Is everyone already tired of Barbie and Sonic Pink yet? 😂 That's pretty much what this jacket reminded me of when I saw it. I loved the movie btw. It's really funny. 


I am wearing my usual size 4 and it hugs your figure. I'd say it is true to size. The sleeves are ridiculously long though and because it's so form fitting, it's hard to roll the sleeves up. This is one of my personal pet peeves and deal breakers. The sleeves also have thumbholes, so this is not something that you can hem, or if you do, you will lose that particular detail. 



The length of the jacket hits above the hips, so it's very petite friendly. It's too bad the sleeves are so long. It's made of Glyde fabric and also water repellant. It's designed for running and has reflective details as well. 


So, out of the three items, which one did I bring home? If you guessed the Reversible Crossover Sweater, you guess right. I already wore it to the office this week and it was super soft and comfortable and received compliments from my co-workers. 

That's it for me! Hope you all have an amazing weekend and see you in October! 👻

  1. You picked some good pieces to try! The jacket is really cute, but I would prefer the the DFIA version. The only Primaloft vest I ever had leaked a lot of filling. I notice a feather here or there with my down items - but not much. The LTT tank is super soft! I might pick up a long sleeve for when I don't want a Swiftly. The sweater is so, so nice! I love how weighty it is.
    Have a nice weekend!

    1. Hi LZ! Yeah I'm actually surprised at how much I liked the LTT tank. The fabric is really nice. Might have to look into getting a top from that line.

  2. Hi Leslie,
    The Reversible Crossover Sweater looks so cute on you! I like the style but know it will be too short on me. I’m just not a fan of cropped tops. :(

    Can’t believe some colors of the Wunder Puff Jacket made it to WMTM already! It’s not even October and sales for winter clothings should start to pick up when it gets cooler. Velvet Dust is pretty in person and I would’ve got it if I didn’t have the jacket in Heathered Plumful. I love my Wunder Puff Jackets and they are so light and warm.

    Have a nice weekend!

    1. Hi Andrea! Yeah, it will probably be too cropped for you.

      I know!! I keep hoping the Heathered Plumful will come out in the cropped version but nope. I might cave and get it in the vest...

    2. Oops sorry, I meant Heathered Wild Indigo not Heathered Plumful. I love that one too.

    3. Heathered Plumful and Velvet Dust are the same tone so I don’t need both. :). Definitely get the vest in Wild Indigo. The color is really pretty and you will love it. ;)

  3. I LOVE that crossover sweater!! It's perfect on you and will get a lot of use for fall and winter! :D I love the sleeves, the cut and the color of it. I'm not a hot pink person. I got Dark Prism Pink HH two years ago and love it but that's enough for me. :P

    1. Hi Janessa! I like pink but I can't do hot pink either. Maybe in something small like an accessory. =D

      Thanks! I really do love the sweater!

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. 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.
