Mind Over Miles Bra, Mind Over Miles Crop
The Marvel color really breaks up the monotony of the white, as does pairing the white crops and tights with Navy bra.

Mrs. O’s Fit Review:
The sizing on this LS is S (size 2-4), M (size 6-8) or L (size 10-12). Since I’m a size 6 in the Swiftly LS, I tried on the M. It seems to be TTS. The problem I have with S, M or L sizing is that the M’s start to stretch and get too loose. I have a tank in the same material and after a few wears, it starts to stretch and slide up. The scoop neck was nice but it’ll always show your bra straps. I’m ok with that. But if you’re not, it will probably bother you because there’s no way to adjust the straps to hide them. (I’m wearing the Free to Be bra under the shirt. My favorite bra!). I’m not sure if I liked the sheerness of the back. But it is a nice lightweight LS to wear. Although the fabric looks delicate, it’s much more sturdy than I expected. Beware; it will show all your bumps and lumps! If I needed a lightweight shirt, I probably wouldn’t buy a long-sleeved one. I prefer the Swiftlies to the Reveal LS.
In Swiftly LS, my TTS is 6. This was TTS. I could wear the size 4 (because of the relaxed fit — not too tight in the arm holes) but I liked the looser fit of the size 6. What I love about the Swiftly LS is the thumb holes. This version doesn’t have thumb holes. The cuffs on the sleeves were so-so for me. I wish the cuff on the bottom of the shirt was wider. I’m undecided on this LS. But I know there are ladies out there that would love the no thumb hole aspect of this LS. I think I would like this shirt in white but the store didn’t have my size. Since the weather is warming up, I’ll probably pass for now.
I actually liked this short a lot because it didn’t have a lining. I find the linings in the other shorts give me visible panty line. If they would make the lining in the women’s shorts like the men’s shorts it would be much nicer. Or, at least, a less elastic-y and thinner edge/hem on the liner. The length was nice and it was light weight. For the same price as other shorts, this one is great because it is reversible. I’ll probably end up buying a few pairs. This short fit TTS for me. I believe the inseam is 2.5-3 inches. But I may try one size up to see if the legs are a bit looser but usually when I do that, the waist gets too loose.

Are you guys interested in non athletic wear fashion posts? I’d love to do more of them but I just worry that I’m straying too much from my readers when I do them. Having more post variety though gives me a renewed zest for blogging so I hope you don’t mind if in addition to the usual Lululemon posts, I pepper in some fashion and beauty as well.
Tillie Embroidered Blouse size M
since last year I’ve had an obsession with pretty contrasted embroidered tops. I purchased a couple of blouses last year from Aritzia and wore them like crazy, and I’m still excited to wear them again this Spring. While in the Seattle Anthropologie I saw this top which I had already seen a few times on my Facebook news feed in the form of targeted ads (creepy much?), but it was an online return so it was the only one they had and it was a size M. The fit wasn’t bad, it was just a touch cropped for my liking. I decided not to get it right then and there since the length was a bit short, but now that I’ve thought about it for a few days I’m going to order it online. What do you guys think? do you like it?

Nothing for me today. I tried on the Loop Back items and did a fit review this morning but they where all passes for me. I’m waiting for more black grape items to start showing up such as the Fast And Free 7/8 Tights, or a short sleeve technical tee like the Mind Over Miles SS (bored of the colors it currently comes in) or the Black Current Swiftly Tech LS. Nothing is really enticing me today.
Did you order anything?
Swiftly Tech Racerback – Antidote
Actually, I’m toying with ordering these in black from last week. Have any of you tried them on yet?
My store didn’t get the new Fast And Free 7/8 Tights in Black Grape yet, which is what I’m after, but they did have the new Loop Back line in this intriguing ‘acid rubber’ tie die/acid wash cotton terry. I think bot the acid wash grey and black would look so nice layered with stark black. In fact, I liked the look of the hoodie layered under my black leather jacket a lot. The items I tried on where a pass though because I really hated the cut and fit of these pieces.
Loop Back Hoodie TTS 10
This was slightly tempting because I really liked the distressed color, and the softness of the french terry, but I was surprised at how loose and boxy this was. If this had been in the cut of many retro lululemon hoodies with the longer length and contouring in the waist, and oversized hood I would have been all over this one. Those old styles really emphasized curves, waist and boobs while this really hides my waist and boobs. The style and fit of the cut of this was a pass but I may go back tomorrow and try a size down and also the acid washed black, just in case the size down solves the boxyness issues.
*My jeans are AG Ex Boyfriend which I got at the Nordstrom Warehouse sale. Love them!
Loop Back Jogger TTS 10
I love tapered joggers but wow are these ever ‘mom jeans’ cut. They where such an awful cut around the waist and hips that I couldn’t even give you a butt shot. If you want a long butt, these are for you. The waist was snug going up and it’s a higher rise but then the legs where looser, especially in the lower leg. These where a hard pass.
Loop Back Shorts TTS 10
I believe these where 1.5″ inseam and way too short for me. I may have considered them in the acid wash black in a slightly longer length but these won’t work for me. I think these will look cute on some longer leaner legs but I’m just way too curvy for these hip emphasizing cuts. If you have slight curves and you want to play them up this ‘mom jean’ cut would really work well for you but I’m way too pear shaped for this look.

I noticed a new feature on the website. You can now hover over the thumbnail of the color and view the item in that color without clicking on the item. Again. This was an old feature we had with the original website that was removed with this upgrade. I’m still hoping they bring back the option of searching colors on the website.
These Arise items are made of Nulu.
