Petite Impact

As the end of my shopping ban is coming to a close, I've been keeping a folder on my laptop with all the things I might purchase in March. Looking at my wish list, I have found there is not a lot of Lululemon in there. I've been looking at Athleta more and found some new items on their website that I'm curious about and would like to try. I really wish Athleta would hire some better photographers. I feel like part of the unappealing factor is bad quality and boring photos. I mean look at this: Metro Slouch Shortie Stripe Even though this photo is awful, I can still see the potential these shorts may have. Granted these aren't really exercise shorts, but as I have enough Speed Shorts in my closet, I'm open to buying other shorts that I can wear out casually. Frankly, my husband is pretty tired of looking at me in workout clothes all the time and for the first time in a long time, this weekend I actually wore jeans two days in a row!  High Rise Prism C

As much as I love colorful prints, every girl needs a pair of black leggings. As a general rule if I'm buying black leggings, I try and stay away from solid black leggings. A nice textural print like the one Athleta has right now is totally cool, at least in my book. It gives it a slight edge that can easily transition from workout to street wear. Pair if with knee high boots or a pair of booties and you're good to go. High Rise Serpent Chaturanga Tight For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically wear a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms and size PXS in Athleta bottoms. Even though these are high rise, I find them to be very comfortable and sit right under my belly button. I've already worn these a bunch of times to workout and to wear casually and they really go with anything.   I think these are super figure flattering and the length fits my petite frame so well.  They have just the right amount of slouch that makes them look really good.  Thes

Today Werkshop released their latest collection called Island Vibes. This is the complete opposite of what Lululemon is offering these days. Lots of bold colors and prints and totally screaming spring and summer. There are seven different prints available in full length and cropped. Here are my favorites from Island Vibes . Floral Night Surf Ukulele Floral Sky Which one is your favorite? I'm leaning towards Surf or Ukulele. If you're new to Werkshop you can receive $10 off your first order with my referral link .

A whole lotta Body Con items uploaded tonight, but also a whole lotta mesh included, so I'm not very interested. Although interestingly enough Lululemon brought back the original Cool Racerback, but is it just me or does the back look different? Nothing for me, since I'm still on a ban. Good news is we are almost done! Just 7 days left to go! We can do it!!! In other news, Werkshop is releasing a new collection this week. That's probably what I'm going to buy, when the first day of March rolls around, haha. How are you all doing on your ban?

Last month, I posted a fit review  for these leggings at a try on session at a store, but I wanted to post better photos for you all. Wunder Under Pant Hi-Rise Nulux Flux Quick recap, I'm 4 feet 11 and wearing a size 4 in these. They are super comfortable and I love how vibrant they are!   I ended up getting these hemmed at Lululemon. I had to take off about 3 inches since I'm so short. I absolutely love them! They're so comfortable and I think they look even better in person than they do in these photos. Sorry, I apologize for the wall socket.  The size 4 fits me perfectly. I still say because of the nulux fabric the high rise on these WUP do not bother me. They fit about the same as my Align Pants. I'm definitely looking forward to acquiring more nulux fabric pieces in the future.  Wunder Under Pant Hi-Rise Nulux Flux I'm actually super sick at the moment. It seems I've caught the plague from my husband. Yesterday I spent t

Ok, so this isn't really a fit review, but still a review and tomorrow is Friday. Before I start, I want to let you all know, my husband bought this backpack for me as part of my birthday gift. So I'm still doing well on my ban! Go Lightly Backpack in Dark Chrome As of right now the dark chrome color is sold out online. Midnight navy and black are currently available. I really fell in love with the midnight chrome color. It's different than your typical black colored backpack. Of course because it's so light in color there's always a chance of it becoming dirty.    This backpack is definitely on the large side. It's big enough to fit my 15 inch macbook pro easily. What's nice about this backpack is the back compartment is specifically made for a laptop. That's pretty sweet. The main compartment zips halfway down on both sides with double zippers. Inside there is a mesh pocket and even comes with a separate shoe bag.
