Petite Impact

Lots of new bras this week.  Also the new high waisted Speed Shorts debut today.  I don't think I'm a fan of these...  I tend to not like high waisted for shorts.  I may be able to tolerate them in leggings, but shorts?  I'm skeptical.  I'm heading to the city tomorrow and will most likely pass by a store so I'll stop in and take a look to try some new items on if they have.  Will report back!

Greetings from New York!  I'm here visiting my family and friends for a week.  In the light of what's happened yesterday in Orlando, it makes this trip even more poignant.  Spend some time with your family and loved ones.  Life is short and this senseless violence needs to stop.  My heart is feeling heavy for all that are affected.  I've been reading about the victims and it's so heartbreaking how young they all are.  It makes me miss my husband even more so that he's not with me on this trip.

I totally wanted to love these shorts.  Was even willing to shell out $68+tax for them.  Except sadly I tried on the size 4 and 2 and neither of them worked for me.  The size 4 was huge and baggy in the butt. Speed Short H20 in Yum Yum Pink Size 4 Front didn't look awful in the size 4, just a little loose. I am wearing the Yogi Everyday Tank in Heathered Rugged Blue.  I found it on mark down for $39 so I picked it up.   However, the back of the butt looks super deflated and sad. The thigh is also super loose on me. I tried on the size 2, and while the fit was much better in the butt, I found the waist to be too small.  It gave me a slight muffin top, which is not cute!  It would be fine if I decided to only wear it for working out and wore a tank over it, but I wanted to get these so I could wear it to the pool or beach. Size 2- much better fit, but it pinched my waist too much for my tastes. Improvement on the butt, but not by much! Th

Let me just say I'm a fan of Nike.  I own 3 pairs of Flyknit Lunars .  The first two pairs I ordered my usual size 5.5 and they fit like a glove.  However after just a few months of wear they developed a hole where my big toe is.  I use these for running and for everyday walking.  I will also admit that I walk a lot.  When I lived in Boston it was normal for me to walk about 5 miles a day.   In NYC you walked everywhere so reaching my daily 10,000 steps wasn't very difficult if I wanted to.  Adding running into the mix and there is a lot of wear and tear.  However I would expect these to last longer than a few months.  I'll admit that a hole in the sneaker is not really a big deal.  No one would probably notice except myself. My husband suggested that maybe they were too small, and I should order the next size up.  I'm hardly ever a size 6 in anything, but I said sure, why not?  I ordered another pair in a size 6 and sure enough 3 months later, I got a small hole.  So
