If you are on Twitter, you may have heard of Brick Betty<\/a>. \u00a0Brick Betty is a new company that ”\u00a0creates high fashion high function active wear for women that embodies the two tenants of femininity; strength and sexiness.”<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t really think about how sexy I am when I’m working out (or ever, to be honest), but I like to feel good and look good when I workout. \u00a0So this seemed like a great company to check out.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the power of social media, I was given the chance to try out a Brick Betty Pullover. \u00a0Here’s a pic of it from their website.<\/p>\n

\"pucker-up-pullover\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here is a pic of it on me. \u00a0Nope, not built like the model at all. \u00a0 But I still felt like it looked good on me. \u00a0Though black clothes are so hard to photograph!<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first thing I noticed when I received the pullover was that the quality is incredible! \u00a0The material is very thick, with a soft, almost fleecy inside. \u00a0But it’s definitely not bulky. \u00a0Just really comfy – the sort of thing you don’t want to take off. \u00a0It’s got a hood and thumbholes, two things I love.<\/p>\n

I tried an XL because I am a very hard person to fit. \u00a0To get things to fit “the girls,” I often need a bigger size. \u00a0This shirt fit me really well! \u00a0It wasn’t too stretched at the top, and it was fitted around the waist, meaning that it wasn’t too baggy. \u00a0The shirt was longer than I’m used to, and comfortably pulled down over my butt, but once I got used to that, I really liked it. \u00a0It also has ruching down the front, which hides a number of sins. \u00a0Also, I think this would fit a wide variety of body shapes, which is a huge plus.<\/p>\n

I think for me, the only downside to the fit is that it’s not the sort of top that I can wear with jeans. \u00a0But it looks fabulous with stretchy pants and definitely dresses up a pair of yoga pants. \u00a0And who wants to wear anything but yoga pants anyway?<\/p>\n

I wore the top on a very cold run. \u00a0It was around 40 degrees and very windy. \u00a0At first, I was worried that the top wouldn’t be warm enough, but it was perfect! \u00a0It was light, but the wicking material also helped block the wind, which was exactly what I needed. \u00a0I like to be cool while running, and this was great. \u00a0The top was stretchy enough that it didn’t ride up while I ran, and I didn’t have to worry about the hood pulling the top up in the front (which happens a lot with hooded running tops).<\/p>\n

The longer I wore the Brick Betty top, the more I liked it. \u00a0At first, I wasn’t sure about the stretchy material clinging to my curves, but after my run, I realized how comfy and flattering it really is. \u00a0It’s currently in the laundry basket, but I’m looking forward to wearing it on another run once it’s clean.<\/p>\n

Brick Betty is currently running an IndieGOGO campaign<\/a> to help fund their first collection. \u00a0Some great rewards (product discounts) available for supporters, so check them out. \u00a0They make everything in the USA, so toss a few dollars their way! \u00a0And check them out on Twitter<\/a>! \u00a0Thanks, Brick Betty, for giving me the chance to try out this top!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
