Fit Review Friday! Banana Republic Boxy Linen Short Sleeve Shirt, Mid Rise Relaxed Painter Pull On Pant, Oversized Cotton Silk Crew Neck T Shirt, Cashmere Short Sleeve Sweater Polo and Labor Day Sales!

Happy Friday! The last days of summer have arrived. Who is ready for the long weekend and all the sales? By the way, I've decided that September will be a no-spend month. It's time to do another reset. You're welcome to join me! More the merrier. As usual, no spending on anything that's non-essential. I did this back in January and it was amazing how successful I was. I think I spent under $500 that month. If you decide to join me, you have three days left to put in your last purchases before the challenge begins.  Today's review is all about Banana Republic. I've been really impressed with their offerings lately and have added a few of their items to my closet recently. At the end of the post I will also cover Labor Day sales. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XS/PXS in Banana Republic. I also wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon and size PXS in Athleta.  Boxy Linen Short Sleeve Shirt White Size XS I absolutely love Banana Repu...

Review! Loewe Flamenco Medium Aubergine

Ahhh the Loewe Flamenco bag. This bag has been on my wish list for years. I've probably looked at this bag a hundred times. It reminds me of Bottega Veneta's Oversized Pouch that was all the rage in 2018. I lusted after that bag for a couple of years but ultimately decided against it because it's not very practical. It's a giant pouch that can be only carried as a clutch. The Flamenco bag was originally designed in the 1970s and brought back from the archives in 2010 and it's still going strong. When I saw this beautiful eggplant purple pop up on Fashionphile, I decided to finally pull the trigger. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.  Please check out my video to see what fits. Loewe Flamenco Medium Aubergine The sizing of the Flamenco bag is a little strange. There's currently a mini, medium, large and XL size available, but there's no small size. The mini would barely fit all of my essentials, which is why I ultimately decided to go with the ...
