FIt Review! Banana Republic Boxy Cotton Crop Dolman T-Shirt and Oversized Denim Shirt 40% Off Sale

  I can't believe we're halfway into September and it'll officially be fall in a week. I am looking forward to sweater weather and wearing my cashmere pieces again. It's been awhile since I've shopped at Banana Republic and right now they are giving 40% off with code BRCARDPERK . This is for card holders only.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size Petite XS in Banana Republic. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon. Boxy Cotton Crop Doman T-Shirt Green Nori Size XXS This Doman sleeve top caught my eye. I love the boxy drape and it's not too cropped, it hits right at my belly button. I do think the proportions are too big for my petite frame though. I don't think I can pull it off as well as the model on the website. That said, I love this shade of green. It's a very gray based green.  The fabric is thick heavy cotton-jersey, much heavier than I expected, but it is a fall piece. The fabric feels very soft and drapes well. Everyt

Fit Review Friday! Lululemon Softstreme HR Short 4", Softstreme Full Zip Hoodie, Softstreme Straight Leg Cropped Pant

  Happy Friday! It's also officially summer! Even though it is very warm out, I still like to wear my Softstreme pieces when I'm at the office and there's nothing but free AC all day long. 😅 Which is why I couldn't resist placing my order for three new pieces in Taupetastic! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and 4/6 in Lululemon bottoms. I like to size up for their pants. Softstreme High Rise Short 4" Taupetastic  Size 6 This is my second pair of Softstreme High Rise Short. My first pair was black and I did wear them quite often, so I decided to get a second pair. These are super comfortable, especially when you size up. I'm at the age where I do not like tight clothing anymore. 😌 I still think these look flattering even in a casual fit. Oh,  I should mention I was working with very tricky lighting when I took these photos. They look more pink than they should. But I assure you the color is the most beauti

Fit Review! Mother Petites The Lil Mid Rise Dazzler Ankle & Why I Returned Good American Jeans

  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Before I get into my review on my new Mother jeans, I initially wanted to do a comparison review with Good American, but they arrived with a giant rip at the crotch all the way down to mid thigh. The tear was about the size of my hand, I kid you not. 😳 I did order two pairs and the second pair arrived intact, but they didn't fit and I ordered a size 4. I was able to get them on, but it was too tight in the waist and they were high rise on me, even though the description stated they were mid rise. I did not like them at all. Luckily Good American did not have an issue with me returning the damaged pair. They actually told me not to send them back. I am shipping them to my friend who is a seamstress and I told her she can try and patch it up or maybe she can use it as parts.  I could not believe it when I pulled them out of the bag. 😲 Mother denim it is.

Fit Review! On Cloud 5 Waterproof Low Top Sneakers Rose/Fossil

  I've been seeing On Cloud shoes everywhere I go these days. I purchase one pair a few years ago and liked them enough, but not nearly as much as my Allbirds. I decided On Cloud was worth giving another try. I browsed around and saw a cute color in Rose/Fossil combination and placed an order.  For reference my street size and Allbirds size is 5.5. On Cloud 5 Waterproof Rose/Fossil Right out of the box, these look cute in person, but I definitely think they looked better on the website. The fabric on the upper part of the shoe was not smooth and had quite a bit of wrinkles and indents. The sole looked a little clunky in person.  The colors are very pretty, the mauve/pink with the gray accents I thought looked fantastic together. I love not having to deal with tying shoe laces with their speed lacing system. They do offer a pair of regular shoe laces if you wanted to swap them out, which is nice.  The sole offers a lot of traction and stability, but looks a bit clunky like a set of
