Petite Impact

  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...

  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...

  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.

  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...
