Fit Review! Athleta Colorblock Powerlift Tight, Down To Town Sweatshirt + Banana Republic Melton Trench

Yesterday I went to the mall to visit Athleta.  I did go into Lululemon but didn't see anything that I wanted to try on.  They did have the new Shibori items but they remind me too much of tie dye and I'm not really a fan.  Maybe I'll change my mind if they release other colors. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.  XXS/XS in Athleta. I've been eyeing this Down to Town Sweatshirt jacket from Athleta for a while.  I wanted to see which color I preferred in person and if I was a XXS or XS, sometimes I'm in-between the two in Athleta. Down To Town Sweatshirt in Shadow Grey Size XXS This jacket is very slim cut.  It was fine for me throughout the body.  When zipped up it was just a smidge tight in the armpit area for me.  Not quite enough for me to size up unless I wanted to wear sweaters underneath.  A little trivia about me, I only wear t-shirts even in the winter.  I own maybe 3 long sleeve shirts and no sweaters at

Exclusive NYC Splatter Reflective Collection Just Launched

I just got the email that their new collection is now live on their website.  The video is actually pretty cool to watch.  All the items are Splatter Reflective and designed for running the streets in the dark in NYC.  Luckily none of these items interest me since I don't run at right.  The prices are high which is expected, but those Speed Tights are really up there.  What do you think of this collection? Cool Racerback II  $68 All Sports Bra  $98 Speed Tight $298!! (yikes I knew these would be expensive but that's a little much) Hotty Hot Short $148

Fit Review! Florence Speed Wunder Tight Nulux!

When I first got them in my hands, I thought the fabric felt different from the marbled mix version.  If I remember correctly, the marble mix felt more soft and a bit of a texture to it, sort of spongy?  Can anyone verify that for me?  The florence version is smooth, no texture at all and reminds me very much of Werkshop leggings but without the compression. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically a size 4 in bottoms. Speed Wunder Tight Nulux Florence Size 4 Here I'm wearing my normal size 4.  They feel like second skin, very comfortable at the waist.  It hits just below my belly button and no muffin top.  The waist band is very wide at about 3 inches.  As you can see the length is very very long on me.  The lace print is intricate and detailed.   Lululemon released a video describing the work that went into this print.  All the leaves and honeycomb were hand drawn and then graphically placed so every pair looks exactly the same no matter what size.
