REVIEW: Meaneor Women's V Neck Button Down Long Sleeve Basic Soft Knit Cardigan Sweater




Overall, this is a good basic cardigan and staple wardrobe piece.  I do  like that it is not knit, so I don't have to worry about snags or moths!  I got it in a medium and have no problems with it buttoning; I'm a 28F.  There's some stretch to it, so it doesn't feel tight anywhere and lets me move.  Get yours HERE!

REVIEW: Meaneor Women's Butterfly Print Hoodie Lightweight Pullover Hooded Sweatshirts



This hoodie is, hands down, one of the most comfortable things I've ever owned in my life!  I got the dark gray, and I love it so much!  I wore it to work today and got so many compliments.  I really like that the butterflies are printed in the fabric, not on top of it, so there's no way they'll peel or flake off.  The inside is really fuzzy and so nice.  It's a lot nicer than most hoodies available at stores lately and a lot warmer.  The one and only thing that I don't love is that it doesn't have a standard hoodie "kangaroo" pocket, it has two separate pockets like a coat.  I don't really understand that because I think it would have been less work to just have one pocket.  I did have trouble keeping my iPhone (which is pretty bulky in it's Otterbox) in the pocket because of this.  Overall, I'd definitely recommend this hoodie if you're in the market for one.  Get yours HERE!

Review: Meaneor Women's Lined Quilted Winter Long Coat Long Sleeve Zip Up Jacket



Living in Pennsylvania, I have to say, this jacket is not what I would call winter weight.  It's much lighter than I thought it would be.  As with most of my Meaneor jackets, it runs a bit small in the shoulders, so you may want to order a size up.  I got the gray and it is pretty nice looking.  Get yours HERE!

REVIEW: Meaneor Women Long Sleeve Single Breasted Work Blazer Asymmetric Hem Jacket Coat




I am very pleased with the quality of this jacket.  It fits nicely and the material irons up very well.  I ordered the white, but it is actually cream.  The buttons are gold, although it is a bit hard to tell in the pictures.  The material has a little bit of stretch to it and is a good weight.  It is available in Black, Blue, Camel, Dark Grey, Red, and White (Cream).  Get yours HERE!

REVIEW: Meaneor Women's Henley Neck Long Sleeve Slim Fit T-Shirt Tops Blouse Tunics


I really, really wanted to love this shirt.  I got the black one to review.  It fits, but I pretty much always wear a cami under things and it fought with it all day.  The snaps were difficult to do, and the top one had one side pull away from the material and be stuck on the opposing side.  That may just be a fluke for the one that I got, though.  If you like to wear cami's under your tops, I would size up.  Get yours HERE!

Review: Meaneor Women's Long Sleeve Zip Up Short Bomber Jacket Baseball Coat Outwear


I really like this jacket a lot!  It's definitely staying in my (admittedly large) outerwear wardrobe.  I wore it for Christmas shopping this weekend, so lots of in and out of the car.  We had the little guy with us, so I needed to be flexible, but it was also 32 degrees out, so warmth was important, too.  I layered a hoodie under this with my long sleeve dress.  I was pleasantly surprised with how warm I was because I tend to be a "cold person".  I have the black one, and it looks nice.  There is a hole inside the pocket, but nothing that I would really worry about or would be difficult to fix.  Get yours HERE!

Review: Meaneor Women's Fit And Flare Long Sleeve Dress High Low Elegant Swing Dresses

 

This hi-lo dress is AWESOME!  It is one of my favorite things I've gotten to review, and I might just need to order it in all of the rest of the colors after Christmas.  I picked up the Wine Red one because I didn't have a holiday dress and it fits the bill perfectly.  The other colors currently available are Black, Blue, and Purple.  It fits amazingly and the fabric is great!  I love that it doesn't really hold wrinkles, so bonus if you travel and are looking for easy to wear and pack pieces.  I had a corset over it most of the day, then took it off for shopping after Con.  No wrinkles to be found.  Get yours HERE!

Review: Meaneor Women's Contrast Color V Neck Floral Sleeve Print Detail Raglan Top



I found this top to fit a little bit large, but it is very comfy.  I had anticipated the printed parts to be jersey like the torso, but they are like a stretch polyester.  The top still looks nice, just not exactly how I thought it would.  I ordered it in navy and it's very cute!  Get yours HERE!

Review: Meaneor Women Lined Hooded Softshell Waterproof Jacket Outdoor Winter Raincoat


I ordered this jacket in green.  I find it to run a bit small in the shoulders and tight in the arms (I'm a size 4/6 and I bought a medium).  I would definitely size up.  I wasn't crazy about how long the cuffs are.  I folded them over.  It is a decently warm jacket as it is fleece-lined.  Get yours HERE!

Review: Meaneor Women Long Sleeve Pullover V Neck Vintage Button Tunic Sweatshirt Hoodie


I love this tunic-style hoodie!  It is well made and very comfortable.  I love that it's long enough to cover my rear when I wear leggings, and it's got a pocket so I'm not missing those in my leggings, either!  It's available in Black, Dark Blue, Red, and Wine Red.  I like it so much that I got two, the blue and wine!  Get yours HERE!

Review: Meaneor Women Long Sleeve Hood Stripped Pullover Jacket Sweatshirt W/ Thumb Hole


I love this sweatshirt so much!  It's a great weight and roomy enough to wear some layers under, too.  I love that it has a hood (you can't tell from the stock photos).  And the lace-up detail is great!  I did remove the hoodie string because it felt superfluous.  The thumb holes are an added bonus!  I got so many compliments on this today!  At present, it comes in grey, blue, and black.  Get yours HERE!

Review: Meaneor Women's Lightweight Hoodie


Meaneor sent me this hoodie to review!  I like it a lot.  It runs true to size, and it's cute and comfy.  At the time of this review, it comes in three colors: black, blue, and wine red (pictured).  I got the red one, and it's a really great color that goes with a lot of stuff.  Get your HERE!

Every Kid is an Asshole... And That's OK

Tonight my teenage neighbor had what is probably to be the first of many fights to come with a boyfriend.  She's got a special place in my heart, and I think she's the only person who knows me and still thinks I'm cool.  Ultimately once this is posted, I'm leaving it up to her parents if they want her to read it because they're pretty cool, too... at least by my standards, probably not by a teenager's. ;)

I've thought to myself for a while now and expressed to a few select people that all teenagers are assholes.  They laugh and deny that their kids are because they're good kids, and really they are, so I would like to take a bit to expand upon this.  It's not just teenagers who are assholes, it's kids in general.  I was an asshole.  My husband was an asshole.  My son will be an asshole.  You were an asshole (I hope you aren't still). 

Aside from learning math and history, a big part of going to school is interacting with other assholes, and it's a really important part of life.  Why?  Because it lets other people show you how to not be an asshole.  And how to deal with the ones who don't grow out of it like the majority of people do.  Kids don't know how not to be selfish yet.  Kids don't really know where they fit in in society.  Every kid pushes their boundaries every single day.  Growing up is a giant experiment where you're constantly trying to figure out what works. 

So, neighbor, it's OK to be upset with someone because you're both still learning; you're teaching each other.  This doesn't mean you have to always put up with assholery; your friends should be learning from their actions just as you are.  It's hard to look at it when you feel like you're just trying to deal and try to figure out who was right and who was wrong sometimes because deep down you're both assholes.  It happens to everyone, and everyone does it, too.  You're learning what secrets to keep, how to treat each other right, and how to handle disappointment so you'll grow out of assholery.

And hopefully by the time you're done with school you'll have it figured out.  Keep learning.  Everyone sucks sometimes.
