This weekend I got to de-tag two of my recent purchases. First of all, the Sole Training Long Sleeve is so adorable in this color and I love it. I really love how versatile it is for wearing not only as a cover up for a workout but as a long sleeve in warmer weather. This UPF material is really light and breezy so I was able to wear it with jeans on a warmish day and not feel overheated. I also wore it for todays workout as my warmup top and I was surprised that I was able to keep it on for a very sweaty workout for most of the time. Usually I take my long sleeves off right after the warmup but today I kept it on almost to the end of the workout. I was a bit worried about how this boxy cut would look with a longer flowier tank underneath it, but I think it was fine. I definitely want to pick up another one if it comes in Quicksand.
The Fast And Free Crops worked out amazinglingy for todays workout. I felt so comfortable in today's outfit that I felt like I was wearing silky pyjamas! I love that the crops are a higher narrower waist so they stay up really well without depending on compression to stay up. I also really prefer this version of Nulux (heavier weight) than some of the digitally engineer print ones referred to as '50g' in the color codes. That version of nulux is way too thin and sheer for me and shows every lump and bump, but this studier version smooths everything over and is opaque and ever so slightly compressive yet still feels like luxurious lingerie fabric.

So this post is a new thing for my blog that I've been working on for you guys (and of course for myself). I have been working on getting a good blog photography set-up so I could do better quality fit reviews for you for online orders, and also do OOTD posts. For those of you that are OG's to this blog you know my old set up of standing in front of the only full size mirror in my home and using my cell phone. That just wasn't cutting it anymore with my new blog layout that I invested in and so I've been stressing out a bit about how to get good selfies without using that crappy mirror. I'm also not a photographer so I'm trying to learn how to properly set up the camera for lighting. I promise you I won't be doing any photo retouching other than brightening photos. I'm not there yet as far as photo quality as you can tell, but I'm working on it. I have a few more tweaks and changes for my blog up my sleeve but those will roll out within the next few weeks and months. One of the changes I have planned is a feature that makes my photos load much quicker for you. I know that's been a huge pain for you guys - it's just a really involved and complicated back end adjustment.
So what do you guys think? If you have any critiques for me or suggestions, I'd love to hear it.
My ootd today is for the holiday WOD which includes some lifting, so I have to bring my lifting shoes. I love my nike metcons but I've found they dig in just underneath the lateral malleolus on my foot with certain lifts.
I sized down in the Going Places Hooded Jacket on my friends recommendation. I loved this jacket when it first uploaded but when I purchased it in my TTS I just didn't like how boxy it was on me. I returned it, then went to repurchase it a few weeks later because I was so torn on it and my friend told me I needed to try the size down first. Voila! Sizing down solved the boxy fit issues I was having with this jacket and I love it so much more now. I think it's the perfect to/from jacket for the gym because it's light weight, and you can throw it on after a workout when you start to get very cold and it really keeps you warm without overheating you.
