Fit Review Friday! Athleta Essential Tee, Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short, Retreat Linen Top


Happy Friday! How is everyone doing? It's so hot here right now. I'm trying to keep cool when I go outside and it's a challenge. Wearing linen definitely helps and I'm so glad to have found some more pieces from Athleta. They're also having a 40% off summer styles right now and all of three pieces in my review are part of the sale.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size Petite XS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.

(40% off - $27!)


Pyrite reminds me of Lululemon's Taupetastic. It is slowly becoming one of my favorite colors. The Essential tee is a medium weight cotton tee that's very soft. It's a relaxed fit that's so comfortable and easy to wear. I have worn it to the office underneath a cardigan as well as on the weekends with shorts. 

also wearing:


The length of the tee hits my high hip and slightly longer in the back. The short sleeves are a little longer in length and quite roomy. This tee is currently on sale for $27! I'm debating if I want to pick up a couple more colors.


Next up, we have the Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short, which is a must when it's over 90 degrees and humid.

(40% off for $35.40!)

also wearing:


I'm wearing size XS and the fit is relaxed. I do not like wearing tight clothing especially when it's hot and humid out. These shorts fit slightly loose, but still flattering. I absolutely love the linen in Pyrite. It looks organic and feels very soft. 


These have a drawstring at the waist to customize the fit. The linen does have a textured feel and can still look a bit rumpled even after steaming. I actually kind of dig the textured look. I love these shorts so much I also have them in Storm Cloud. These shorts are on sale for $35.40. 


Last but not least we have the Retreat Linen Top in Pyrite. I wanted a matching set. This button down is also 40% off at $59.40. Athleta is having such a good sale right now. I guess they are getting ready to make room for fall clothes. 😆 It's so hot I cannot think about fall clothes right now.

(40% off!)


This button down runs very large. I'm wearing size XXS and it's still oversized on me. But I do like the look. I will throw this on as a cover up from the sun and roll the sleeves up. The sleeves are ridiculously long. This top does not come in petite sizing, which is disappointing. Petite options seem to be dwindling and that makes me very sad. 



I really love this whole outfit right here. Makes me feel great and I look put together even in hot summer temperatures. That's it for me! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I'm trying to enjoy the summer months!

    1. Hi Nina! I love their Essential Tee and Essential Tank. I have been wearing both all summer. I have a handful of Cates Tees, but they are so thin.

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...

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.

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.
