What I Loved About Peekaboo Chic

2018 just disappeared on me and left me in the dust.  So much crammed in the last few months of the year and just coming up for air.

Sometimes when I'm given an opportunity to review a product of some kind I get it done relatively quickly. In the case of this one, I did not. I could not. I would not. I really wanted an honest opinion on what I was given so you, my friends, would have all the details, good and bad.

That brings me to a fun company, Peekaboo Chic! This site is all about cute slips and extenders for shirts and tops. Meaning a little cute peek of an adorable lace, or silk to add a little extra something to your already adorable outfit.

Which is perfect for me, because I'm all about the leg that doesn't get seen. Even though I am short I was still having problems with my skirts coming up in the back or when I sat down too much knee, for my liking, was exposed.

When they sent me the slip extender that I picked out, I chose the super cute Classy vs Sassy Half Slip in White 😍, the truth is it was still hot. Far too hot to even attempt wearing it, it's Ari-freakin-zona, it has barley hits fall weather in December! 😂

But I took one for the team and tried the piece even when it was a little to warm for an extra layer, and of course used it when it actually was the perfect temperature.

Here it is folks the moment you've been waiting for:

Things I loved about Peekaboo Chic

FABRIC

The first feel of the slip was perfect. Its a double layer stretch fabric its not too thick but its durable and feel so soft to the touch. I knew that this would feel great wearing.

WAIST BAND

You had me a fold over waistband. Seriously, the waist band it like comfy yoga pants, comfy. It's an extra wide fold over waist which is perfect for wearing the slip for a long period of time which made me very happy.

LACE

I will tell you I was skeptical to pick the skirt extender that I did because laces are not all created equal. I was nervous because well sometimes lace is just awful. It could either be scratchy, stiff or wrinkly or soft and light.  Thankfully the lace is on the soft and light side of lace. It was great to feel that the lace was just as high quality as the rest of the skirt fabric, obviously not the same, but you can see that they are working with high quality materials and want to give you the best. 

LENGTH 

Last but not least is the length. I was worried given my shorty life that this thing would be to my ankles, thankfully it was not. It fit perfectly on its own to exactly where I would have wanted it, a wee bit past my knees. So when I sat down it would still be draping over my knees. The waistband sat just above my natural waist which made it even more comfortable not competing with my skirts, and sat perfectly.

-------

So I guess you could say almost everything about it. I found that this was a perfect pairing, me and my lace skirt extender. I took it with me when I tried on clothes, it went under pencil skirts, a-line dresses and my flowy skirts effortlessly. I could dress up or dress down. It made for that extra little something I didn't even know that I need with my dresses and skirts.  

Seriously, check them out if your looking for a slip for a dress or shirt, and they have so many designs and styles to choose from! You'll get amazing quality, comfort and lets me real they are just so dang cute!

LuLaRoe Review + GIVEAWAY

When I first heard about the company, it was fairly close to after it launched.  I wasn't very into the idea.  I don't buy myself clothes often and didn't know much except LuLaRoe had crazy pattern leggings, which is true (and they are totally awesome btw).  As time went on I saw more and more about LulaRoe on social media, and the idea was growing on me. I had a couple pieces but hadn't explored too far into the clothing.  So when Mandy was looking for someone to review the clothing, I was happy to do it! Fun Fact: I was in a bunco group back in 2009 and Mandy was in the group too.  I hadn't seen her since then! I loved catching up and she has the cutest kids now! 

I went over to her house (Arizona Local) and saw the incredible amount of inventory she has! It was a little overwhelming and intimidating looking at all those styles and patterns.  Its so great having a consultant that knows what they are doing and have an eye for matching, mixing and pairing the perfect pieces for you and your body.

I tried on quite a few styles, and fabric choices and finally settled on some amazing pieces.  I stepped out of my comfort zone with a couple pieces and I am so glad I took the risk.

I really wanted to show that 1.) Any size can rock LuLaroe and 2.) Don't be afraid of color and pattern mixing.


I received the following pieces to review.

• XL Irma shirt
• 2xl Cassie pencil skirt
• Tall/Curvy Leggings
• XL Carly swing dress.

The Cassie is my friend.  Each item is hand cut so sizing can very slightly, but the 2XL works perfect for me.  Its not constricting but not going to fall off.  The wide fold over waist band is so unbelievably comfortable, and the fabric is soft and has a good stretch.

I paired this bright fun Cassie with a gorgeous floral pattern Irma shirt.

An Irma runs big,(normally I would wear a 2xl in shirts but in the Irma an XL is the perfect fit) its a longer in the back tunic style shirt with just a slightly tighter quarter length sleeve.  It is exactly the shirt I need for Arizona's mild fall & winter weather.

What did I tell you about pattern mixing! Don't be scared.  I first saw this together and I was like WHAAAA!! but after I tried them on and saw what they looked like together I fell in love.  I wore this outfit to church and I wore it the rest of the day it was so comfortable.  I normally get home and change immediately out of my Sunday clothes.

Something else I love about the Irma is how great it pairs with jeans and leggings too. You can style it up for a night out, or glam it down for just around the house, running errands or out for a lunch with friends.  Its so versatile, which for me is great since, I don't purchase clothes for myself often I need one piece to look good many different ways. When you hear that LuLaRoe leggings are like butter, believe me they really are! You may sometimes catch yourself rubbing your legs often. If I could have a pair in every color I would be a happy happy gal.  They can be paired with an Irma, Classic T, Perfect T, Carly Dress, Amelia, Joy....okay basically everything! 

Last but certainly not least is the Carly dress.  Its new to the LuLaRoe line and its came out with a bang! The Carly is a high low swing dress.  Intended to be worn tighter on the top then its flows down over the body loosely.  I don't usually wear loose flowy dress, but this dress has changed my mind about that. 

Something that is usually difficult to find in clothing, particularly dresses my size, is a dress that is long enough in the back.  It could go to my knees in the front, but since my human body has a butt it comes up in the back and just looks odd and I'm uncomfortable wearing it. The Carly does not have that problem on me! I was very surprised too by the size that works for me, an XL!

If you are nervous LuLaRoe does not have a size for you, don't worry, because they do!  If I wanted an even looser look I could just go up a size and get that.  Same with the Irma shirt. I love the clothing and you could say I'm just around the river bend to becoming a #lularoeaddict?  OOPS. Sorry not sorry.

I know the price point of the clothing can be a huge turn off. I'm a fugal person and can't spend money on myself for the life of me, but after I purchased my first piece, and saw how great it was made, how comfortable I was in it and how happy it made me feel to wear, I was hooked.

I think it's all about the right pieces for you.  Start small and go from there!  Soon, you'll be in love too. :) My girl Mandy has everything you'd need and can help you find the perfect piece for you! She made me more of a believer in my clothing choices and more confident in myself!  Thank you Mandy!!

Don't you just love this Carly! Love the fun flirty pattern and it makes me feel dressed up, but also like I'm wearing a house dress. LOL! You can have that feeling too. LuLaRoe fashion consultant Mandy Shelley is graciously giving ONE lucky person a CARLY!!!!
