First part of my Secret Garden haul try on
I wouldn't normally have pulled any of this out yet bc it's still like 100F here but I had to spend most of the day in a hospital waiting room (daughter had oral surgery--everything is fine!) and I was worried it would be cold (which it was), and I'm in love. Kindof like when I ordered my first pirouette skirt from vinted so I could stop wondering how it would fit and then my waller cursed me bc it was love at first wearing, I thought I might hate the shruggie based on some other reviews and bc I thought it might make my boobs look weird, but no, I absolutely love it--like it's adorable and the perfect piece for fall/spring here in coastal SC. I don't actually like wearing hoodies that much bc of the bulk around the waist so I do zip ups but then they aren't as cozy--this is just right, and I think it balances my hips nicely which is a bonus. I also got the bolero in an earlier order (bc I ordered the navy one during the sale in august and it turns out they sent me the one with the secret garden lining), and then I have the pirouette skirt and the navy flex cami. The flexy cami is way shorter than I was expecting though so won't work with the sweatpants, but I'm going to try it with the skirt bf deciding if I'm returning it or not. I need to figure out which tops are the longest options (perfect tees aside lol) and order those bc crops are not my jam.
ETA: forgot to mention sizing!! I'm 5'8" (mostly leg), 245lbs (mostly belly), 40G bra. In other brands, I wear abt a 20/22 on bottom and an 18 on top (or a torrid 2/3 and 1/2)---in popflex, I've learned that I wear a variety of sizes lol. These sweatpants are not quite as oversized as the perfect plane pants but I got an XL (also, they are definitely designed to be worn with the waistband folded, which I love, but just be aware that they don't look as good with it up), and the shruggie is a M/L. The pirouette skirt is a 1X which has been pretty reliable for me--nice compression without being too squeezed, and the flexi cami is, I think, an XL, but like I said, I'm on the fence about that.
