Petite Impact

This weekend I went to two different Lululemon stores and neither of them had the NTS Jacket . But I did get to try this super comfortable hoodie, but it's not very flattering. It's kind of boxy on me but boy is it super soft! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms unless otherwise stated. Back To It Hoodie Size 2 I'm wearing this in a size 2 and I found it to be very roomy. You can safely size down in this hoodie. For $118, I didn't totally love it. It definitely looks better in person than it does on the models. Maybe I'll reconsider if it goes on WMTM. I got to try on a bunch of new Swiftly tanks in all the new colors. They're new to me since I haven't been to a Lulu in more than a month.   Swiftly Racerbacks in Dark Olive, Illuminight, Midnight Navy. Illuminight Size 4 I thought the Illuminight tank was a little on the thin side, the color was nice enough, but I wasn&#

For months I've had my eye on Werkshop's Dark Sugar leggings in full length. My size small was always out of stock. So finally, sometime in January before my ban started they restocked and I jumped on it. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically wear a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms. In Werkshop I prefer the size small. Full Length Dark Sugar These also come in crop length , but I prefer the full length for this particular print. The crop length is completely symmetrical on both sides, whereas the full length is slightly different on each side and I like that. Werkshop has complete photos of both from every angle for you to compare the two.  Werkshop is known to be very compressive so if you prefer your bottoms to fit casually I would go up a size. The downside for me is the full length is so long that the ankles tend to bag out, as you can see in the below picture. I'm debating on hemming these a few inches so they're not so long on me.

Every February I make myself go on a shopping ban. It seems like the right thing to do post holiday shopping. Just to give you an idea of what my January spending looked like, I spent $627 just on activewear alone . Talk about crazy, right? I spent about $465 on an interview suit, button up shirt and shoes which I think paid off, since I got the job. Then I went to New York and decided to get new glasses and contacts which totaled to $476. Those are just some of the big ticket items in January. This month was completely different. I did however need some new work clothes. Here are my results for Frugal February. Food - $75.28 (this includes lunches purchased at work and supermarket runs, although I'll admit my husband pays for most of the groceries) 😂 Taxi- $18.17 (I don't drive and on the days I couldn't catch a ride from my husband or co worker I paid for Lyft or Uber) Work clothes- $242.84 (purchased two pairs of pants, a sweater and tank) Phone case - $12

Today marks the last day of Frugal February. Who is still with me? Normally this ban is long and torturous, but because of my new job, it went by fast. Easiest ban I've ever had. For tonight's upload I am interested in trying on a few items but will wait. Anything for you tonight? How did you do on your ban? Over the next few days I will write a more detailed post of my spending the past month and what's on my wish list! NTS Jacket  (I kinda like this jacket but I don't think it's worth $148.) NTS Jacket (What does NTS stand for anyway?) Wunder Under Hi-Rise Tight Chakra Jacquard V1 Black Henna Fast Track Duffle Midnight Navy Energy Bra Shibori Varsity Blue Wunder Under Pant Hi-Rise Shibori Magnum Black (I like this one best of all Shibori colors but I'm also over WUP Hi-Rise style) Wunder Under Pant Hi-Rise Shibori Varsiry Blue Out To Lunge Untight Tight Black Define Jacket Deep Rouge (I love this color but I

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
