Review! Lululemon's City Street Cardigan & Banana Republic Logan Trouser

I know I'm not the only one who dreads Sunday nights. Just thinking about tomorrow makes me feel anxious. I haaaaate waking up early for work. The night before I try to at least think about what bag to switch to and that makes me feel a little better, but not by much. It also helps if I can come up with a nice outfit to wear on Monday.  Every so often I'll see if I can spruce up my office outfits which is what today's post is about. For reference I'm 4 feet 11.  City Street Cardigan Heathered Mystique Size 2 Banana Republic Logan Trouser Fit Cropped Size 2 - more on this later. This cardigan caught my eye because of how pretty heathered mystique is. I'm a sucker for lilacs and shades of purple in general. This piece is made of cashlu. It feels heavy and soft to touch. It's definitely a fall piece. I was surprised at how dense the weave is. For this piece I went with a size 2. I would say the fit is true to size but the sleeves are super l

What's New From Werkshop, Athleta & Lululemon

Since I've been away for so long I haven't had much to review. Werkshop recently released an athleisure line and booty shorts. I'm not 100% sure these are petite friendly because of the high rise and super long length for the leggings. If anyone has tried any of these styles let me know. I've been a huge Werkshop fan, but not sure these would work for those who are extra petite. Booty Shorts- Starry Night Booty Shorts- Purple Palms Athleisure- Mariposa Athleisure- Dope Athleisure- Sea MashUp Athleisure- Fantasy MashUp Athleisure- Zen Garden MashUp I've been looking for some summer dresses since Lululemon's Cinch It Dress didn't work out for me. I saw Athleta has some in petite sizing, but unfortunately most of the petite sizes already sold out! I guess you really have to be on top of new releases if you're petite. I'm going to stalk the website for returns and maybe I'll get lucky. In the meantime here are

Photos- Swiftly Racerback Quicksand & Wunder Under Hi-Rise Tight Nulux Peony

Happy Friday everyone! This isn't really a fit review since I've done so many on Swiftly tanks and Wunder Under Tights but I still wanted to post some photos to show how the colors look on a petite frame. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms. Swiftly Racerback in Quicksand Size 4 This particular Swiftly is a bit on the thin side. It's not as nice and thick as some of my other colors. Also because it is thinner fabric I found it to be not as flattering, meaning it shows all your lumps and bumps if you prefer the tank to be fitted. The outside felt soft as usual, but on the inside the tank felt a little bit scratchy. I decided to return this one even though I really love the color.  Next up, is the peony print in Wunder Under Hi-Rise Tight in nulux. I really love me some nulux! It's right up there along with nulu. Wunder Under Hi-Rise Tight Nulux in Peony Size 4 This pair was actually gift

Fit Review! Down For A Run Jacket Black Cherry

I confess, I love this years version of Lululemon's Down For A Run Jacket . I looked at my review  of the original version from 2 years ago and the fit wasn't flattering at all. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear a size 4 in Define Jackets and a size 2 in Scuba Hoodies to give you an idea. The  Down For A Run Jacket  is one of those times I can size down. I went with black cherry because I'm not a fan of green in general so gator green was out. I'm too much of a klutz to buy white and I always try to stay away from black if at all possible, so that leaves me with black cherry. The color itself is a very dark purple almost like an eggplant color. I would say the photos are pretty accurate. Down For A Run Jacket  Size 2 Black Cherry The size 2 fits me well. It's not tight at all but I wouldn't be able to layer much underneath it. A long sleeve Swiftly should be fine but nothing thicker than that. The length of the coa
