 Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and a very special welcome if you're new here. My name is Jen, I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach and I'm on WW personal points. Happy Sunday, it is Sunday and it is time for a really fun yet nerve-wracking video for me. Today I am partnering with the brand Popville for a try-on haul. You know that I have lost well over 100 pounds, about 118 pounds to be exact. And as I've continued to lose weight and as I get closer to my goal weight, I'm always on the hunt for adorable, affordable fashion. It's hard for me to spend a lot of money on clothes when I'm not at the size that I'm going to be permanently. So I'm always on the hunt for something that's affordable but super, super cute. And as you also know, I moved from Washington State to Arizona State about four months ago and it's always sunny, hot and warm here and we have four pools in the community that I live in. And also since I've lost weight, I've been on the hunt for some swimsuits. Swimsuits that flatter my new body, that conceal the areas of my body that I don't love and don't accentuate the loose skin that I have from losing over 100 pounds. So today we have a try-on haul. We have a try-on haul of three adorable outfits, including the one that I'm wearing right now, a really cute, comfortable pair of pajamas and yes, four bathing suits. Now disclaimer, disclaimer, disclaimer. I am not 100% comfortable putting my body out on the internet in a bathing suit. However, it's very important for me to share my entire journey. Be transparent in my journey. The good, the bad, the comfortable, the uncomfortable. And I'll tell you right now, the swimsuit on the internet is not comfortable for me. So with that, I'm asking that you be kind and that you understand that the body that I have is the body after 118 pounds lost. Now I have been working out seven days a week. I've been able to tone up my body a lot but I've still lost over 100 pounds. So now that we have the disclaimer out of the way, I first wanna share with you a little bit about Popville. This is an online clothing company. It's absolutely incredible. They always have great deals on their website, free shipping on orders over $49 and you can return anything that doesn't work for you within 30 days. Right now they have a great promotion on their website called Bring Your Own Sunshine. Buy four items, get one free. And this is swimsuits so you can go online, look at all their swimsuits. What I also love about Popville is it is entirely size inclusive. They have straight sizes, plus sizes. Most items on their plus size section go up to a XXL. From what I found from the items that I purchased, they definitely fit true to size but make sure you're checking the size guide on the website. There's literally a little bit of something for everyone. Their prices cannot be beat. Really, really affordable prices and I was shocked at the quality. When I received these pieces and tried them on, I was absolutely stunned by how high quality they are, especially the bathing suits. The bathing suits rival $100, $120 bathing suits at your local department store. So I'm really excited to share with you everything that I picked up from Popville and thank you again to Popville for partnering with me for today's video. Now before we jump into bathing suits, I wanna share some of the clothing items that I picked up, starting with this beautiful emerald color dress that I have on. This is the Popville v-neck drawstring A-line summer dress. Mine is in the emerald green color. It is $29.99 before any discounts and like I said, there are always discounts on their website. It comes in sizes small through extra large. I did pick up a size extra large. I absolutely could have size down to a large but I always air on the side of caution, especially when ordering items online. Remember, Popville does have a 30 day return policy so if you get the items and they're too big or too small, you can return them within 30 days. I love, love, love this dress. It is so flattering. The v-neck really accentuates the decollete and one of the prettiest parts of a woman, it isn't too low cut and it does include a little snap closure so that nothing is showing that you don't want showing. It's an A-line dress and you can tighten it with the built-in tie. It is a functioning tie and the way that the skirt of the dress lays on the body and flows is just so figure of flattering. It is extremely, extremely comfortable. You could pop a cute little denim jacket over this or a cardigan and dress it up or dress it down. You could wear it with sandals or chunky heels or even booties. It is really, really comfortable. It is a silky kind of polyester material, breathable, which is great in the heat of summer. I really, really love this. In fact, I love it so much that this is the dress that I'm wearing today. You know my love for animal print or leopard print. I wear it all the time. So as soon as I saw the Popville Dot Print Ruffle Design A-line summer dress for only $26.99, it does come in sizes small through extra large. I knew that I had to have this dress. I love the pattern of it. I love the A-line. I appreciate that the top of the dress kind of folds over the cinched part of the waist. It's very flattering. It covers up anything in the midsection that you want to cover up. I also very much appreciate that the straps are adjustable. For me, I had to tighten them as tight as they would get. Otherwise it was too big on me. Again, I did pick mine up in a size extra large. For me, I would have sized down to a large in this as well. Now it still fits me. It's comfortable. It's flattering. Like I said, it was just really big in the shoulder area. But once I tightened the straps down, as tight as they went, it fit really well. It gave me enough room in my bust and I really like the flow of it. Again, it's very figure flattering on the body. I love the little ruffle on the skirt. And again, booties would be so cute with this, with the jacket or cardigan as the weather cools off. In the summer, some really fun animal print sandals or a really cute pair of maybe black glittery sandals. I love this. I can't wait to wear this. You guys know I love dresses and you know I love leopard print. And again, the quality and the material is really nice. Like I mentioned, I had to pick up a pair of pajamas because let's be honest, I live in pajamas most of the time. And again, I loved the print of this. It gives me animal print vibes. It is not animal print, however. It has some kind of misshapen polka dots on this. This is a two-piece set. There's a pair of shorts and a tank top. It is the Popville Dot Spaghetti Strap Basic Pajama Set. It is only $18.99. Now, this particular set goes all the way up to an XXL. Now, I picked mine up in an extra large. I definitely could have a large in the shorts. They are very, very oversized on me. But the tank top portion of the pajamas fit me really, really well. These straps, again, are adjustable. I just adjusted them as tight as they would go. It didn't have a lot of room in the bust area. And that's why I was saying that the top was perfect in an extra large. It also has a little bit of stretch in the back, which I appreciate. It is full coverage. The top is long enough to completely cover the waist of the shorts. They are a soft, super soft, silky material. Really, really nice quality. I live in pajamas, so I know that I'll get a lot of use out of these, not to mention they're super cute. Now, we're going to jump into the four. Yes, four swimsuits that I grabbed, that I picked up, as well as a cover-up, because I appreciate a good cover-up, especially as I'm walking through a hotel or walking to the pool or walking to the beach. I'm not comfortable walking through establishments without a cover-up. So the cover-up that I picked up goes really nicely with all four bathing suits. I have three one-piece suits and one taekini. Now, remember, we're kind in the comments. We're only going to say nice things about me booting myself out in a bathing suit on the internet. So the first swimsuit that I wanna share with you is honestly my favorite, which came as a bit of a surprise to me because this is a taekini. And I really love a good one-piece swimming suit. So I was pleasantly surprised at how much I really fell in love with this taekini. All four bathing suits are in a size extra large. As I tell you about the suits, I'll let you know whether or not that was the right size for me or if I could have size down to a medium or a large. And also all four bathing suits that I selected are full coverage on the back. I've shared here on my channel, I've shared on my Facebook group that my back is the area of my body that I like the least. I've always carried a lot of my weight in my back. So I have back fat and I don't appreciate swimsuits that accentuate that. So I made sure that the four suits that I covered fit my body and that was a higher rise in the back. And I have to say, spoiler alert, all four of these bathing suits, perfection when it comes to the coverage that I was after, even this taekini. So this is the Popville Solid Roached Cutout Black Taekini Set. It is only $31.99 and comes in sizes small through XXL. Now, like I mentioned, I got all of my bathing suits in a size XL. This particular one, I definitely could have size down to a large and maybe even a medium, but it is so cute. I love the halter style top. I think halter bathing suits are flattering on everybody. I love the little mesh cutout. It does have pads in the bathing suit and the pads in the bathing suit are not removable. It's really nice padding. It's very flattering, gives a little bit of to that area. As I lost a lot of weight, that area is not what it used to be. So I appreciate some good padding and some support. This taekini gave a lot of support. Clasps are such nice quality. They are metal. They're not that typical plasticky clasp. It is very, very high coverage in the back and the length of the taekini goes over the waist of the bathing suit. Now, you can ruch it up a little bit if you wanna show a little bit of skin or you don't want the top to completely cover the bottoms. You can definitely ruch it up, but I really loved this suit. I feel very sexy, very beautiful, very confident in it. It isn't a suit that I have to wear cover up with. I think it's very figure flattering and we know that black is figure flattering as it is. The full coverage back and the full coverage bottom. So I really, really love this bathing suit. In fact, it's my favorite. Now this next suit, I loved it the minute I saw it on the website. It is a little bit out of my comfort zone. It's pretty loud, it's pretty out there. We know when we are overweight or if we have body image issues in general, we don't always like to put ourselves out there for all the world to see or make it so people actually see us, spot us, look at us. And this bathing suit is definitely one that puts you out there a little bit, but I have to say that it puts you out there in a really, really good way. This is the Pothville Leopard Floral Printed One Piece Suit. It is $29.99 and it comes in sizes small through XXL. I mean, how adorable is this? I have to say that I love the pattern and how summery colored it is, how vibrant it is. This detail right here of this teal leopard is very, very figure flattering. It defines the bust and it also cuts you in the smallest place of your body, kind of sucking everything in around the waist area. It is lined, there is some extra material in this tummy area to camouflage the tummy area. The back is super, super cute. It does have more of a strappy design and then it has the piece here that goes across the back. The swimsuit does also have pads that are not removable, but again, I really appreciate the pads because it gives the girls some lift and makes them look really nice in the bathing suit. This one doesn't have as full of a coverage back, but I still thought it did a really good job of camouflaging that area of my body and it is a full coverage one piece bathing suit. This again, isn't an extra large. I definitely could have sized down to a large. It fits comfortably, it's flattering, it is such nice quality. I mean, this is a really, really thick material bathing suit. Like I said, it rivals high end. It is very, very nice quality. It's really fun for summer. So this is another suit that I'm really glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone and picked up. I decided since it's summer and since I have a trip planned to Hawaii in September, I would grab one more floral style of suit and this is the Popville Floral Print Patchwork Green One Piece Swimsuit. This is currently on sale for $19.49 in sizes small through extra large. Again, I got an extra large. This one, I'm glad that I got an extra large and this fit me perfectly. If I would have picked a large, I don't know that it would have fit in the bust area. But again, how cute is this? How fun is this very tropical design for summer? It is so flattering on the figure. I like that the bust area is a solid color and that it has this cute rope kind of ladder design in the middle, kind of gives a little bit of sexiness to the suit. Really nice detailing with the hoops in the front. I think that that adds a nice detail. Again, a full coverage back with a criss-crossed strap. All the hardware on this, really, really nice. Again, very thick, very, very flattering. What I love about these bathing suits is it really sucks everything in without being too tight. It's very, very nice looking on your figure. Full coverage front, full coverage back and the pads in this suit are removable. And on a side note, I realized that I was incorrect and the pads in all of the suits are removable. I don't know if you can see, there's a little opening here that you can remove the pad. I didn't see that on the other two suits. I will say that normally, I always take the pads at the padding out but I appreciate the padding in these bathing suits. It definitely is what I need for my bust area. So again, they are removable if you choose to remove them. But again, a really fun, flattering bathing suit. This one is a little bit more cut in on the side of the boob area and isn't as full coverage in the back, but it's still covered up the areas on my back that are my problem areas and I still found it to be really, really flattering. And did you think that we could go through the entire bathing suit portion without a leopard print or animal print suit? Oh no, I definitely chose one of the many animal print one piece and two piece suits on their website. This is the Potville Wild Leopard printed mesh patchwork one piece swimsuit. It is $29.99 and is in sizes small through XL. Again, I picked up an XL. I definitely could have sized down to a large but let me just tell you how much I love this bathing suit. How fun are the straps? They are very, very different. We have more of a spaghetti strap and a little bit thicker strap. You can tighten it, which I appreciate. Again, I did have to tighten mine quite a bit to make it fit well. It does have removable padding in the cup. And again, I love this whole mesh detail. It looks like tiger claws across your body and it's very flattering the way that these mesh panels are put in. It doesn't show anything, but it cuts up the pattern of the bathing suit, which can be a lot and makes it very, very figure flattering. I also absolutely love how high the back is of this bathing suit. It is definitely a full coverage back, which again is one of the reasons that I chose it. I would say that this is one of my top bathing suits as well that I picked up. I really, really love it. I feel fun, flirty, sassy in it and I feel confident. And that is so incredibly important. In any clothing that we wear and especially in any bathing suits, I want to make sure that I'm comfortable and confident and I feel comfortable and confident in every single one of these suits. And again, I can't get over how excellent the quality is. And lastly, I did decide to pick up a cover up and I really, really like this one. It is a tan color. It does come in other colors. It does have the halter style tie around the neck top. It does have more of an open back but still has enough coverage on the back to cover up everything. But what I loved was the ruching on the side. So you can adjust how long or short the cover up. You can ruch one side up and tie it up a little bit shorter than the other side. So this is the Pottbill Drawstring Ruched Swimsuit Cover Up. It is $25.99. And like I said, it comes in more colors, white, black, and then this tan color here. It is in sizes small through XL. I did pick mine up in an extra large. Really glad that I did. It had a lot of room in it which is what I want in a cover up. I want it to be loose and flowy and cover everything up. Now you can see that it is a little bit more of a mesh kind of see-through material. So you can see the pattern of the bathing suit underneath which I think is really nice. I love that the length of it is adjustable. The sides of it are adjustable. And like I said, the ruching is just a really nice, fun added touch. So this cover up will come in really handy anytime I'm at the pool or of course on my trip spending lots of time at the beach in Hawaii. So another excellent product choice, one that I'm really happy to have. So that's everything that I picked up from Popville. You guys, I'm completely impressed. I am so impressed with the quality of everything. I really love this emerald dress. It's so incredibly comfortable. I feel really pretty in it which is something that's really important. Especially as we're on a weight loss journey we want to feel good in our clothes. We want to feel pretty. We want to feel sexy. We want to feel confident. And I was very confident in everything. Tried on today from Popville. Again, I will link them down below for you with all the discount information. I will also put the links to everything that I shared with you today if you want to just immediately go and pick up one of the items that I shared with you. They have so many cute swimsuits and tops and dresses for summer. Little bit of everything on their website and really, really affordable prices for high quality. Thank you again to Popville for partnering with me for today's video. Let me know down in the comments. What was your favorite item that I tried on today? I always like to hear your feedback. And thank you for bearing with me while I put myself in a bathing suit on the internet. It's definitely not something I would have done a year, two, three years ago. I'm definitely more confident in my body as I've lost weight. Of course, my body isn't perfect. It's never going to be perfect. I have loose skin. I have fat. I have weight to lose. But I'm much more confident and I'm really excited to express that confidence in these bathing suits and these outfits.
