Petite Impact

The Geisha legging is my favorite from Werkshop's Zen Garden collection .  The artwork on it is beautifully done.  The colors are gorgeous.  So I was super excited to finally get them last week, but as soon as I tried them on I knew they didn't work on petite gals.  This made me really sad because the print is so amazing. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and usually a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms. Geisha Full Length One of the most challenging things about being super petite is finding clothes that does not make us look short.  If something makes my legs look loooooong, it's a keeper.  In the photo above, you can see the face of the Geisha takes up almost half of my leg lengthwise.  And it draws the eye downwards making my leg look short.  There's not much to go after the neckline of her kimono = short legs.  I also think the white band on the lower part of the legging near my shin, doesn't help either.  The next photo highlights this even more so.  

The past couple of weeks, Werkshop has been releasing sneak peeks on their instagram of what's coming for tomorrow's launch of Polygon Chapter1.  The one I'm most excited about is Onyx.  My second favorite is Dreamcatcher.  You can see a preview of these on their website right now.  If your heart is set on one of these, they will be releasing them tomorrow at 12 noon eastern time.  I wouldn't be surprised if the Onyx sells out in a few hours.  Also if you're new to Werkshop you can use my referral link and receive $10 off your first purchase. Onyx (mine tomorrow!) Skull   Hawk Dreamcatcher   Which one is your favorite?  All styles will be available in full length and crop.  Woo Hoo!

I ended up returning my Purple Scales leggings in exchange for these Angler ones.  I decided while I did like the full length I wasn't totally convinced the Purple Scales was for me.  Werkshop was great throughout the return and exchange process.  The whole thing took about two weeks for me to get my Angler leggings.  It was very simple to do.  I sent them an email and they approved my exchange with a RMA number that I had to include with the Purple Scales.  Once they received the leggings they sent out the replacement Angler leggings in a couple of days. Full Length Angler I kind of enjoy scary and creepy things much to my husband's dismay.  I definitely can see myself wearing these out casually as well as for doing yoga or running.   Totally digging these sharp teeth! As for size these are a size small and I normally wear a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms.  As of right now the website has all sizes in stock.   The length of these are super long at 28.

I tend to spend a lot of money on new fall items.  It's my favorite season.  Here I've picked out 12 items I'm currently lusting after.  Doesn't mean I'll actually end up buying them, but I would love to have them!  Some of the items are out of my price range.  But others I may pull the trigger.  In absolutely no order here are my current favorites! Speed Wunder Under Tights in Florence (I am absolutely dying to get these!) Werkshop Geisha Leggings Absolutely love these Werkshop leggings and I'm bummed these sold out in my size so quickly!  I'm waiting patiently for a restock.  If you're new to Werkshop you can receive 10% off your first purchase. Balenciaga Small Classic City I know a lot of people are sick of bordeaux, but I absolutely love it for fall.  This bag is super high on my lust list, but unfortunately I can't have it, so I decided to settle on the Banana Republic substitute instead.  Much more affordable and i

As you all know I'm a huge fan of Werkshop leggings.  This Friday they are releasing their new line up called Zen Garden.  Here are the new releases.  They go on sale at 10am eastern time.  I'm eying the Geisha print. Geisha full length Geisha crop I love the pink, the cherry blossoms, the geisha face.  However I think I prefer the full length version of these instead of the crop.  The full length has the extra detail at the bottom of the ankle that's missing from the crop.   Crane crop Crane full length My second favorite from this collection is the Crane.  I love the color palette, very summery and pretty.  However I'm not totally convinced I would know these are cranes that are on the legging?  It's hard to see.  As for the length, I think I would be okay with these being crops since they are kind of summery and all even though you lose some of the flowers at the bottom. Panda full length Panda crop The last two pri

I've been eyeing these Purple Scales Werkshop Leggings for a couple of months.  When I was finally ready to buy them in June my size was out of stock.  Patience is key with Werkshop.  Many times size small will be sold out, but if you wait a month or two they always restock.  Last week when I checked and saw my size, I jumped on them.  I own 5 other pairs of Werkshop leggings but they are all crop length.  This is my first full length legging from Werkshop. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and usually a size 4 in Lululemon Wunder Unders. Purple Scales One of the best things about buying from Werkshop is their consistency with sizes.  I'm a size small and these fit exactly like my other Werkshop crops.   I see a lot of people doing yoga with the bottoms folded over their feet and I don't know if I would ever do that myself, but I'm just showing how long these can be on my short frame.   If you notice they are a little baggy around my

Woo HOOOOOOO! Two weeks ago I ordered Jellyfish leggings from Werkshop.  I kept checking the tracking and last Monday, it said they were delivered in my mailbox.  I run downstairs to get them and WHERE ARE THEY?!  Nothing, no package was there for me.  I start panicking because I live in a huge apartment complex with a gazillion mailboxes next to each other.  So I knew someone else had received my Jellyfish leggings. I wrote a sad email to Werkshop to let them know what happened and they said to give it a week, and if they don't show up, they would "take care of me."  Which I hope meant they would send me a replacement pair.  Lol. A week goes by and it's Tuesday night and my husband says, "Did you email Werkshop yet?"  I told him I'll email them in the morning.  I go to take out the garbage and open the door to see my WERKSHOP PACKAGE on the floor!!!  I literally gasped!  There is some goodness left in this world!!!  Thank you to whoever it was

I finally bought the Tentacles leggings after lusting for them since February.  These come in full length and crops.  As I'm quite short- 4 feet 11 inches, I always go for the crops. Tentacles Size Small I got my normal size small in Werkshop, and the fit is great.  As I am super short, crops always fit a little loose around my ankles.  But it's okay, I'm used to it! I've only recently started working out again.  I had a shoulder injury back in February.  Then late February I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed.  March I was still recovering from my shoulder injury and on top of that we were preparing for the big move from Boston to Atlanta so I was sidelined for about 2 months.  And let me tell you, 2 months is a long time for me.  I'm used to working out 5-6 times a week and have been doing this consistently for 4 years.  2 months took its toll.  My muscles disintegrated.  It's amazing and scary how fast you lose it.   Anyhow, e
