Fit Review! J.crew Going Out Blazer & Athleta Mercer Herringbone Tight

Another weekend already gone. I won't ever understand how the weekend can go by so quickly. Last month I wrote a review on J.Crew blazers and one of the ones I wrote about was the Going Out Blazer . I originally purchased it in navy, but returned it because I ended up keeping a different one in the same color. I reordered the Going Out Blazer in heathered dove gray but I'm unsure if it looks as nice as it does in navy. For reference I'm 4 feet 11. For J.Crew I usually wear 2P in tops or size 0 in regular. For Athleta I'm a PXS in bottoms. Going Out Blazer Heathered Dove Gray Size 0 Just to write a quick review, the size 0 fits perfectly in length, sleeves, and shoulders. There is no need to get the petite version unless you want a cropped sleeve. I personally prefer full length sleeves on a blazer. It's a fairly budget friendly blazer that can be worn to work and on the weekends paired with jeans. Right now J.Crew is having a 30% off with code AUTUM

Review J.Crew Lightweight Sweater Blazer

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Happy Easter to those who celebrate it. We had some friends visit from New York and ate way too much food. I'll have to write a post about it! J.Crew Sophie Lightweight Sweater Blazer Today I have for you the new J.Crew Sophie Lightweight Sweater Blazer. I have the fall winter version in 2 colors and decided to try the new version that's great for spring and air conditioned summer.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically a size PXS or XXS in sweaters/tops.  For this sweater blazer I'm wearing a size XXS. This sweater runs true to size in my opinion. I like the casual look of the sweater. If you want a more fitted look size down one size.  The question that I really wanted to know the answer to - is the sweater really thinner than the fall/winter version? The answer is - yes, but only ever so slightly. It's made out of cotton, polyester and wool. It's definitely very soft to touch

WMTM & Random Musings

Not much of a WMTM update today, but a few things I'd like to mention. I surprisingly really like this yoga bag. I just don't have any real need for one! The Yoga Bag $39 The Yoga Bag $39 Ready To Rulu Turtleneck $59 So now that I have a full time job that requires me to actually dress up, and by dressing up I mean business casual. I've been looking at clothing that I could wear to the office and outside of the office. A turtleneck would work, but I think I would just get too hot and there's nothing worse than sweating and not able to take it off! But I love rulu and this definitely caught my eye. If you get cold easily this might be for you.  Layer Me Turtleneck $59 Here's another option. This one is even more work appropriate, it's more fitted.  Swiftly Racerback $44 How is everyone's week going? How is your frugal February going so far? I'm wrapping up my first week at my new job and my ban is going fantastic. I'm
