Fit Review Friday! Athleta Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short and Banana Republic Everyday Linen Shirt Plus Athleta 25% off Sale and up to 50% off Styles!

 


Happy May! I think this month I am going to focus on a closet clean out. I would like to free up some more space in my closet so I'll probably list some items up on Poshmark and donate the rest. It's starting to warm up in Atlanta. It's been 80-85 degrees or so now during the day which means it is time to wear linen pieces!

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta and XXS/PXS in Banana Republic.

(On sale 40% off $41.40!)


Athleta linen shorts have been my go-to shorts for warm weather. They're super comfy and I am loving the color Eden. The color Eden is more blue than it is green. I'm wearing size XS here and they're a little roomy, but I prefer it that way. These are mid-rise and the waistband comes up to my belly button. 


There are two zippered pockets at the front and a drawstring tie at the waist. The inseam measures 4 inches and they hit mid thigh. The linen is soft, super breathable and light weight. They're currently 40% off! 



I really like wearing a linen button up over a tank top in the summer. It's lightweight and I will often use it as a cover up layer from the sun. Banana Republic has some really nice linen tops. I purchased some last year and they have held up beautifully. Linen does get wrinkly, so I have to steam these items after I wash them. They are machine washable - gentle cycle and I usually line dry or tumble dry low. 

(on sale $79.99!)


I'm wearing size XXS here and it's a very nice fit. The Everyday Linen Shirt comes in 8 different colors, so if this one isn't for you, there's a lot of other choices to choose from. This top also comes in petite sizing, but the XXS fits nicely. 


I think this linen top is super versatile. Casual enough to throw over a tank and I can also wear this to the office. Currently on sale for $79.99 and take another 20% off with code BRAFF


I wouldn't mind getting a pair of their linen ankle pants. I have have to give these a try. Do you love to wear linen in the summer? Let me know in the comments below if you have a favorite linen item. 


That it is for me! I am SO ready for the weekend, it's been a crazy work week. Definitely check out the Athleta sale. I'll post a few items I'm eyeing. Have a fantastic weekend!

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.
