Splits59 Sabrina Matrix Tank!

I bought another Splits59 Sabrina Matrix tank.  I have quite a few Sabrina tanks, but when I saw this one on ebay, I just had to add it to my collection.  I don't know what's up with Splits59 nowadays, but their aesthetic completely changed.  It's like somebody bought the company and started making completely different stuff.  So weird!  But this tank is the kind of look that had attracted me to Splits59 in the first place.  So I had to snatch it up!

I actually don't even see any more Sabrina tanks on the Splits59 website.  It used to be one of their core styles.  

Anyway, this is size S.  I used to wear XS in this tank and even that was big.  They've made the cut smaller in the more recent versions.  I do wish it was a smidge longer, but other than that, I love it.

Splits59 Black Friday Sale!

Is it just me or are retailers having Black Friday sales earlier and earlier now?  Splits59 started theirs starting last weekend and I made and received my order already!  They are having a 30% off for Black Friday deal (code BF30) which is probably the biggest discount I've ever seen from them on regular priced merchandise.  So I knew it was my chance to get those couple items I've been wanting!  

So, I got the Sabrina Matrix tank in white/glory/black because I love Sabrina tanks and this one has a very striking color combo:

Ok, I am keeping this tank, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed after I took it out of the box.  Once again... what is up with Splits59 sizing???  It seems every few months I don't order from them, they change up their sizing completely.  I have many versions of the Sabrina tank, and the older version in size XS is huge.  Then they started making the cut smaller so I started getting size S and loved the fit.  Now with this tank I just ordered, it seems they are making them even smaller?!  I got it in size S and it is at least an inch shorter than my other ones.  The front is also cut a little bit too high from what I like.  I would have sized up to M if I had known, because I always prefer longer tanks.  Though this tank as it is, is not so short that I cannot wear it.  It's like barely ok length in my opinion lol.  So I can't be bothered to go through the trouble of making an exchange.  I just really wish they would be consistent with sizing.

Here it is on me:

Aside from the length, or lack thereof, it is pretty though.  I love the mesh details and colorblocking.  I'm such a sucker.

The back is more sheer than the pic above shows.  Here's what it looks like when not worn:

Secondly, I got the Olivia Matrix Run Tee in white/black.  Of course this is the beautiful top I already own in crystal/heather grey.  At the time I got the gray one, I also liked the black.  So I knew the black one was going to be mine some day.  And apparently that someday is today lol.

This one has consistent sizing as compared to the gray one.  So it is also in size S and fits the same.  I love it.

Again, love the mesh and colorblocking!

So, the Black Friday deal is pretty decent and shipping is free if you order over $100!  The 2 items I got barely made it over $100 so I got the free shipping as well.  Not bad price at all for the two!  If the tank was a smidge longer, I'd be a super happy camper. 

Splits59 Olivia Matrix LS

I ordered the new(er) Splits59 Olivia Matrix LS, after eyeing it for months lol.  I ordered the crystal/white/heather grey color combo.  Though I like the black/white one too.  I had some not-so-good experiences with my Splits59 orders the last couple times.  So I was skeptical.  But I gotta say I love this top!

I know the color says grey, but I think it looks almost baby blue in person.  I got it in size S, and I think it's a great loose fit.  Length is perfect.  Material is nice and silky.  I love the colorblocking design, and the mesh inserts.  It seems to be constructed of good quality.  So maybe the old Splits59 is back!  I hope so.

Here it is on me.  Note the shoulder straps you see are from my bra underneath, not a part of the top design:

Has thumbholes

So if you were on the fence about this top like I was, you should get it!  I think the pricing of this top is more reasonable than some of the other items they sell.  This is priced at $82, whereas some of their tanks are around the same price.  So you get more for your money with this top!  I just really dig the design.  So happy with it that I wanted to rip the tag out right away!

Lorna Jane, Splits59 & Lululemon Combined!

I've been buying a few workout wear pieces here and there, so I thought I'd combine them into one post!  Super happy with all of them.

First, I got the Lorna Jane Acrobat Sports bra in neon orchid.  It was on sale (a little) from $65 to $55.  But Lorna Jane was offering additional 20% off sales price.  I also bought 2 more items but after I placed my order I was told the other 2 were no longer available.  I swear this keeps happening to me, ugh!

I actually really really like this bra!  It's very comfortable and the back is so cute.  I got it in size S which is my preferred Lorna Jane bra size.  I also have a few of their bras in size XS but only because S was sold out when I bought them haha.  

I was hoping that the neon orchid color would be more purple than violet.  But it's actually got even more red in person than the web photo shows.  Oh well, it's not bad, I just already have the Clover bra which is a very similar color.  But it's ok, I will make sure to wear it still.

The Acrobat bra in this color is very low in stock now, but it's still available in black which is actually very cute too.

The next item I got is the Splits59 Devon Singlette II in everest.  I mentioned last month that I ordered this tank from Splits59's semi-annual sale.  But after placing my order, they emailed me telling me it was sold out (see, it happens all the time to me!).  So a couple weeks ago, I found one on ebay!  Got it for only like $20 too!  I love the color and the new design for the Devon tank (I have a couple of the older design in this tank already).  

I got it in size S which is the same size as my older Devon tanks.  It fits very similar in the body, but I think the older style is slightly looser fitting in the torso.  Not enough to get a different size though.  So the main difference in this newer style is the "V" strap design on the back.  I really like this one, and love the green color.

By the way, the new Splits59 Alana Singlette is pretty similar to the Devon.  It is super cute too and comes in a few other colors!

So the 3rd item I got recently is the Lululemon If You're Lucky pant which I have been wanting foreverrrrrr!  You know how sometimes you don't think you want something, but then you see someone wearing it and makes you really really want it all of a sudden??  This happened to me with these pants.  When they first came out, I thought: the last thing I need is another pair of black pants.  But one day I was just strolling down the street and saw a girl wearing them with the 100% matching heathered black If You're Lucky tank that I also have.  It looked so cute that I immediately went to look for these pants, but they were already sold out.  There are quite a few of them listed on ebay actually, but for way higher than retail.  However, after many months of watching ebay, I finally found a new pair that started at a reasonable auction price and I ended up getting them for like $65 only!  Woohoo!

These are full on luxtreme, but they feel so so much better than my other full on luxtreme pants (i.e. fatigue camo, oil slick camo, pretty palm).  They are stretchier and thinner, yet have good compression.  They don't feel polyestery or slick.  I am actually very happy with this version of full on luxtreme.  

So they are in my normal Lulu bottom size - 4.  As is the usual case with full length Lululemon pants, they are very very long on me.  I can wear them half way down my feet:

At first I thought they would look bad pulled up and pool around the ankles, since the bottom portion is made of mesh.  But they are too long on the model too, and the slight pooling doesn't look bad on her at all.  So I think I wear them like that too!

These are very high rise, like the High Times pant, which is always nice since it holds you in:

You can barely see the logo on the back of the waistband, since it is black and blends in really well with the pant:

Here's the close up of heathered black colorblocking on the calves, as well as the mesh on the bottom:

I know these are just simple black and heathered black (looks charcoal) combo, for some reason I really like them!  They just caught my attention since that one time I saw them on the random chick on the street.

I think they look pretty good with my Nike Dunk Sky Hi wedge sneakers!  I'm going to go to yoga or pilates like this one day lol:

So, those are the 3 latest items I added to my workout wardrobe!  Can't wait to wear them all!  To be honest, we are having a major heat wave the past couple weeks and I can't even imagine wearing full length pants right now (even if the bottom is mesh).  But it's supposed to cool down starting next week, so maybe I will get to wear the pants then!  On the other hand, it's the perfect time to wear the Splits tank right now!  =)
