Fit Review! Always Effortless Jacket & Perfectly Oversized Cropped Crew Spiced Chai

Happy Monday! I've got some victory news to share. A little backstory- when I first started working out at the age of 31, I couldn't even do a single push up. I've always had a weak upper body but I kept at it and eventually I was able to do 10 push ups in a row. Now I can do diamond/triangle push ups with ease. In my mid 30s I really wanted to get my first pull up. I remember the first time I tried it, I failed miserably. I couldn't even pull myself up halfway.  It was the same thing when I tried a chin up. I felt so defeated. About 3 years ago I was able to get my first chin up and I was getting really close to getting my first pull up. I was able to do a neutral grip pull up, which was pretty exciting but I just wasn't there with a pull up. I was close but no dice. Then I injured my left shoulder pretty badly.

Fit Review Friday! Track That Mid Rise Short 5 inch, Wide Leg High Rise Crop, Perfectly Oversized Cropped Crew Softstreme

  Happy Friday! This Lululemon haul will be split into two posts. Come back on Monday for part 2. This post also has a ton of pictures! I received a fit request for  Track That Mid-Rise Short 5" . I really wanted to try  Wide Leg High-Rise Crop 19" , and we have my new favorite  Perfectly Oversized Cropped Crew Softstreme  in Tidewater Teal. Yes I'm still on a Tidewater Teal kick. 😜 For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear a size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms unless otherwise noted. Track That Mid-Rise Short 5" Tidewater Teal  Size 4 I was almost 100% positive the 5 inch length would not work on my petite legs but I was wrong. They're actually not bad from the front. The side looks okay too since there's a cute tulip hem. The waist sits mid rise and there is a drawcord on the inside. The fabric feels rough, which I wasn't expecting. The website describes it as seersucker texture. Now I'm not quite sure what that is so I Google
