Space Dye Twist Regal Plum Define Jacket (size up to a 12 in Defines)

This was gorgeous and very soft and warm. I left it behind (for now) but it’s on my list. 

Circadian SS Tee sized up to 12

I LOVED this tee. Mostly I loved it for the gorgeous color which I’m pretty sure is Heathered Cranberry. The color code is HECY. It’s thin and a little clingy so I opted to size up to a 12 in it. As you can see it’s still a bit clingy but it’s nice and long. Normally when I size up to a 12 in tees I get more of a boyfriend fit but this was still fitted and feminine. I’m certain that my TTS 10 would have been way too tight around the middle for my liking. I have a friend who was with me and she tried on her TTS and since she is busty the Pima Cotton went sheer on her over her bust. 

Definitely Raining Jacket 

They didn’t have my size in this jacket in stock so I grabbed the closest just to try it on and show you the color. It’s gorgeous. It was a bit of a circus with 5 little girls with us so I didn’t get to confirm the color but I’m pretty sure this is Cranberry. 

It may be helpful to add that I got the Espresso DRJ several weeks ago and I was considering returning it until this past weekends #BCStorm with our torrential downpour. I’ve worn my jacket three times now in total downpour and I could not be happier. 100% dry and a lot softer a more flexible than previous years rain jackets. 

1x A Lady Jacket – Sized up to a 12

I tried this on last year in my TTS 10 and I learned that in straight jackets like this I’m better off sizing up so that is what I grabbed in this. Sized up it’s nicely roomy and would definitely layer over a Scuba. I like this jacket but not more than the Camo Fluffin’ Awesome Jacket which I ended up getting a few weeks ago so I’m not tempted by this one but only because I have something I like. Also, this straight long puffy jacket style really doesn’t suite my pear shape anyways. 

Herringbone High Times Pant

I sadly didn’t get to try these on or confirm the color but it’s likely a Slate Herringbone. I didn’t love them to be honest because it looked more like a print of herringbone vs. actual texture. 

Cool Racerback Windy Blooms Sapphire

I grabbed this to photograph but I wasn’t in love with the print so I didn’t try it on. I’m gonna need a solid Sapphire Cool Racerback.

Sunset Salutation LS TTS 10

Ugh! Why did I try this on. I really liked this top a lot. Had they had my size in black I probably would have gone for it. I regret it a little that I didn’t go for the Ghost but I think the Black would get more versatility in my closet. I’ve spent too much though and this, like the Define Jacket has to go on my ‘hopefully later’ list. 

At the last moment when I was checking out with the Circadian SS I saw that the Lumberjack Scuba was in. I want it, but I don’t think I want to exchange the Sapphire Scuba III for it so I had to leave it behind. 

Another day of running around driving everywhere meant that I couldn’t spend very much time at the store today but when I walked in to quickly do my returns I saw the Sapphire Blue Daily Practice Jacket that had uploaded this morning and I had to bring it home for a try on. Online I wasn’t sure how close the color was to Pigment or Wish (my top favourite lulu colors) and thought it was probably more washed out in person and not so much a jewel tone. In person, this color reminds me so much of Wish Blue (from 2010ish) and it is absolutely a jewel tone (Duh! Sapphire!!). I wish I had a solid Wish Blue item to compare it to but all I have is a Lively Tee in Heathered Wish. Trying it on at home I had the immediate urge to yank the tags off but I’ve decided to wait a few days just in case we see a Define Jacket in this color. I’m not sure what item of the two I’d prefer but I’d like to have my pick. 

The fit is honestly a bit snug in the tummy and at first I wished I had tried on the 12 in store because I may have gone with that. It is quite comfortable and fits well throughout, it’s just pretty close to the body around my mid section which is where I’m most self conscious. I’m starting a Whole 30 on September 1st though so I think ultimately I’m better off sticking with the 10 if I decide to keep the Daily Practice Jacket. 

Sapphire Blue Daily Practice Jacket – TTS 10

Color Comparison to Pigment Blue Cool Racerback

Hard to tell because Wish Blue is heathered here but I’m pretty sure this is the closest match. 

Cyber Stripe Naval Blue High Times Pant TTS 10

I’m not nutty about stripe placement but somehow I ended up lucky with a pair that has all the stripes lined up even though I ordered online. These are an incredibly soft knit texture and although thick and smoothing it’s not really compressive. They are very cozy and I find the color and pattern very flattering. Definitely would like to keep these.
