Two Classy Chics

Archive for the ‘Women’s Clothing | Men’s Clothing’ Category

Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Marika who makes a line of activewear and yoga clothing for women. When you shop at Marika you will find sport bras, tanks, camis, short sleeve shirts, long sleeve shirts, jackets, pants, leggings, tights, capris, shorts, skirts and more!

The great folks over at Marika sent me their Marika Miracles Slimming Capri with Tummy Control to review for all of you. I was excited to get this item since I am an avid walker, hiker and I do practice yoga. This slimming capri comes in the color black and in sizes x-small through x-large. In regards to sizing (for me personally), I would size up one size.

The capris are made out of a combination of nylon and spandex so they will stretch and move with you. I find that this is a great fabrication to wear during the summer or while working out as it seems to “breathe”. The capris have a 21″ long inseam so it’s the classic length in your standard capri pants. There is a 3 1/2″ wide waistband that is lined with a power mesh fabric to give you tummy control.

I find these capris to be very fitted in their fit. I ordered a size x-large as I like a little room in my workout clothing and when they arrived they fit me too snuggly. After debating this for awhile I decided to give them to my mother and they fit her perfectly as you can see in the photos. She has been wearing them for the past week when we go out walking with our walking group and loves them.

She says they stretch and move with her and when she starts to sweat she likes that the fabrication seems to wick the moisture away and she says they dry super quickly. She also likes the tummy panel in the front because she hates that she has the classic mommy bulge (from having children) and feels the capris do a great job of holding that in.

Overall, my mother gives them a 8 out of 10 on our rating scale. She deducted one star for the sizing (Like I said, I would order a size up) and she deducted one star as she would like to see them in additional colors other than black.

You can purchase the capris directly from Marika for only $60.00 and mom says she would definitely buy them if they had additional colors. She recommends them to all of our readers and is enjoying her new capris!

Today I would like to introduce you to the company called SunGrubbies.com where you can find a wide variety of products with superior UV protection for outdoor living. When you shop at SunGrubbies.com you will find sunscreens, sun umbrellas & shelters, sun gloves & sleeves, women’s sunglasses, sun hats for kids, swimwear for kids, sun hats for babies, children’s UV protection shirts, women’s UV protection clothing and men’s UV protection clothing. If you or your family spends a lot of time outdoors, SunGrubbies.com is for you!

My Review: The great folks over at SunGrubbies.com sent me their Great Outdoors UV Protection Shirt to review for all of you. This shirt is what I call a 4 seasons shirt, it can be worn all year long. It is made by Columbia and has 40 UPF sun protection in it’s fabrication which is a combination of Polyester & Elastane. It is machine washable and due to it’s fabrication, it dries super quickly.

The color we received for the review is “ICY BLUE” which is a really pretty pale blue color. The shirt features a button-up front with dyed to match buttons. The shirt has underarm stretch panels, covered back mesh venting, sun collar and sun cuffs, 1 front chest zipper closure pocket, front princess seaming which is figure-flattering and roll-up sleeves with hidden tabs which are great for a year-around shirt! The shirt is available in size small – large for $50.00 and 1X – 3X for $55.00 and available in 2 colors: Icy Blue and White.

When the shirt arrived it was way too big on me so I enlisted the help of my mother for this review. Mother tried on the shirt and right away commented to me that she liked how light-weight the shirt was and that it felt nice and cool against her skin. She likes the zipper closure chest pocket because she often carries lip balm and/or facial tissues with her so she can easily tuck those into the pocket if she wanted. The best thing she loved about this shirt was that she can roll-up the sleeves and secure them via the hidden tabs or unroll them to keep her arms covered up. The inside of the shirt is impeccable, no loose or crooked seaming and it’s nicely finished off.

Since receiving the shirt, mom has worn it several times. Since it is a little big on her, she wears a tank or cami underneath it and at times has even belted it with a thin belt. She also loves the length of this shirt because she can wear it with leggings, so I would say it’s almost tunic length. Overall, mom gives the shirt 9 stars out of 10 stars. She only deducted 1 star as she would like to see it in additional colors in the future and perhaps slightly larger buttons to make the buttoning easier. She said she would not hesitate in purchasing this shirt and highly recommends it to all of you.

Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Apostolic Clothing who makes a wide variety of modest clothing that would be perfect for this spring and summer.

When you shop at Apostolic Clothing you will find beautiful Christian Clothing for men, women, juniors, toddlers and infants. Even though their clothing is modest, it is still right on-trend for this spring and summer season.

My Review: The generous folks over at Apostolic Clothing sent me a gorgeous Long Flowing Chiffon & Lace Skirt to review for all of you. If you love the Maxi Skirt, you will love this skirt and it’s available in 2 classic shades (black or ivory).

The skirt has a wide elastic waistband with a drawstring closure but the drawstring is not really functional, more for a decorative look. This skirt is a pull-on/pull-off type of style so there are no zippers or snaps to mess with. The waistband is done in a camel color which adds a nice color contrast to the ivory.

The skirt is made up of 2 layers…the inner slip layer and then the outer lace layer. You do not need to wear a slip underneath it all all thanks to the attached inner slip. The attached slip underneath is about 6″ shorter in length than the outer lace layer and I really like that as it shows just a tiny bit of skin at the bottom of the skirt.

The fabrication is a Polyester & Rayon blend so it will need to be dry cleaned. (although I hand washed mine and it was fine). The lacy layer of the skirt is done in tiers which is really pretty and figure-flattering on the body. I love how girlie this skirt looks but yet…very classy looking too!

This is a great skirt that you can wear dressed-up to work, to church or to a special event or dress it down for a leisure day. You can wear it with heels, sandals or even with a pair of flip-flops!

Everything about this skirt speaks QUALITY and it is really well-made! With proper care, it will last you for years! You can purchase this beautiful skirt directly from Apostolic Clothing for only $30.00 and it would make a great addition to your spring and summer wardrobe.

I will be taking my new skirt with my on vacation later this month and I think it will be perfect to wear out to dinner, walking on the boardwalk or whatever else we may be doing! Fantastic, I give it a huge 2 thumbs up!
