Petite Impact

  Can't believe we're in the last week of March! How is your No Buy month coming along? I broke it once for Athleta's Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short . I ordered it in two colors, Black and Eden. They arrived on Friday and I'm happy to say the XS is the right size. I'm very happy pleased with them.  For today's post I went to Lululemon on two different days and I'm combining them in one post. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 and size XS/S in Lululemon. Swiftly High Low Cropped Short Sleeve Shirt Club Blue Size 4 Shake It Out High Rise Running Short 2.5" Red Glow Size Small I actually really like the Swiftly High Low Cropped Short Sleeve Shirt. My only complaint is the slightly small neck opening. I'm wearing my usual size 4 and I really like the fit and length. It's also super comfortable. I know some may not like the Lululemon logo front and center and I am one of them, but it's fairly subtle and not to...

  Happy Friday! I went to get my annual check up and I received a pneumonia vaccine. It completely wiped me out afterwards. My blood pressure is also a bit low. Unsure why, waiting to hear back from the lab. The joys of getting older. 😆 Athleta's Friends and Family Event is still happening. 30% off everything. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon. Seasoft Rib Crewneck Sweatshirt Pyrite  Size XS Seasoft Mid Rise Straight Crop Pyrite  Size XS Allbirds Tree Glider Get 15% off with my code  PETITEIMPACT I reviewed these two items in the last Athleta post, but I took some more photos in case someone wanted to see how it looked as a matching set. I'm not sure I can pull it off? I think it looks better worn separately. What do you guys think? I feel like the color needs to be broken up with a vest or something.  Pyrite is a really nice neutral, it's like a light mocha brown. It can look darke...

So I ended up breaking my No Buy Challenge for  Athleta's Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short . They're still currently half off and the Friends & Family Event has now opened up to everyone. I'll keep you all posted if I end up keeping the shorts or not.  Today's drop has a lot of Sonic Teal. I kind of like it with the gold zipper. But not in the mood for thick hoodies anymore, it's finally starting to warm up in Atlanta and I've already started wearing my thinner hoodies. Nothing for me as I slink back into my No Buy mode. We're more than halfway through the month and I want to finish up strong.  Scuba OS Full Zip Hoodie Sonic Teal/Gold Scuba Full Zip Hoodie Red Glow Swiftly SS Hip Length Textured Knit Gem Weave Sea Mist/Sonic Teal (This looks really pretty!)

Athleta is having a  Friends & Family Sale ! If you have a store card, use code SHOPFIRST  for 30% off full price items, however right now a lot of items are on sale up to 50% off. I have to admit, I am very tempted to place an order. Starting Tuesday, 3/18, the sale will open up to the public . For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and wear size PXS/XS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon. Retreat Linen Top Undyed Size XXS (on sale $59.40) In case you were wondering, these items were purchased last month. I'm finally getting around to posting my review. Last summer, I purchased the Retreat Linen Top in Pyrite and wore it all the time to the point where I wish I had more than one. It's an amazing lightweight layer to throw over a tank on those hot summer days when you want coverage. This year when I saw it released in the undyed color, I had to get another one.  I'm wearing size XXS and it's currently on sale for 40% off. I know I'll get a lot o...

Happy Friday! Checking in to see how the No Buy Challenge is going as we're just about at the mid way point in March. Let me know how you're doing with the challenge.  For today's fit review we have a couple of items from two different days. You can tell because I'm wearing glasses for the windbreaker and contacts when I tried on the Softstreme pants.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 or XS/S. Cropped Utility Windbreaker Goodnight Plum Size Small This windbreaker feels really soft and silky. I was surprised at how much I liked the feel of Glyde fabric. I'm wearing size small (they didn't have XS at the store) and while it's slightly too big, it was very comfortable. I think size XS would have been a better fit for me, but the length of the small was great, it hits about lower hip. The sleeves are long and I think sizing down would help with the length. This jacket has a zipper and snaps to keep out the wind. This windb...
