Not so basic basics with Encircled
[apss-share]
It has come to my attention that in the history of WTT I have never featured an outfit in more than one style! Honestly, I couldn’t believe this because in those moments when I’m not shooting pictures (which is most of the time) my outfits are constantly on repeat: either as individual pieces, mixed and matched with well-worn items, or in their entirety. After all, when it comes to sustainable fashion, isn’t that what it’s all about? So why haven’t I been highlighting this on the blog? While I don’t have a verbal answer – today’s post is just that: I’m showing you how I wear one outfit in two ways.
*This post is sponsored by Encircled. All opinions, styling, and feedback are my own and in no way influenced by the company. You know my policy: If I like your brand, believe you are working towards authentic sustainable practices, and actually enjoy your products then I will help to raise brand awareness. If not, we don’t work together.
With temperatures still approaching 100 degrees, but knowing that cooler weather is right around the corner, I’ve been searching for pieces that I can stay cool in now but can layer in just a few short weeks when the heat finally breaks. Oh, and I’d like the pieces to be ultra-comfy without sacrificing the ability to style for a low-key day as well as a night out. Hmm… am I asking too much from my clothing? Meet Encircled.
Encircled has been on my radar from quite some time. Their commitment to sustainability has always been top notch and I’ve seen other bloggers rave about the quality and fit of their pieces. So why did I wait so long to give them a try? Here’s where my own style biased comes into play. I am not a “basics” person. When I first looked through Encircled’s website I was a bit overwhelmed with the simple silhouettes/multi-wear mix and match. If there is one thing I have come to learn about my closet, it’s that I am not a simple silhouettes person – and that’s okay. It’s better to know your personal style than to buy pieces you won’t actually wear.
But I’ll be the first to admit, here and now, that I definitely judged wrongly; Just because you see pieces styled one way on a company’s website doesn’t mean you should pass it over because you don’t immediately think it will fit into your style ethos.
After moving past my own prejudice I dove in and gave the new Encircled Remix Collection a try. Here’s what it consists of: The Remix Boxy Top, the Remix Crop Pant, and the Remix Short – put those together and you get a stylishly flexible outfit that definitely meets all the criteria I mentioned above – comfortable, able to dress up or down, ethically on point, and versatile enough to layer through seasonal changes. So I took the pieces for a test run through one entire day and brought my camera along for you to see.
Okay, so my day in this outfit didn’t exactly start in the morning. Admittedly I spent half the day in my pajamas catching up on emails. But, in the afternoon I went to visit a fellow farmer and pick some peaches for dessert. (Highly recommend Nicewicz Farm if your ever in Massachusetts). This was the perfect time to test out the Remix Shorts as it was still pretty hot out. I wanted to keep the outfit minimal so I paired them with a structured striped button down that has been in my closet since what feels like the dawn of time and my gardening hat to keep the sun out of my eyes. Only other accessory was a basket for all the peaches.
Initial impressions: They have pockets! I know that may seem like a weird initial impression but flowy garments don’t tend to have pockets so I was duly impressed. After moving around in the shorts for a while I thought something was off. I felt like I still had my pajamas on – yes, they are really that comfortable. The use of Tencel helps to give them a buttery softness that may make you question if you even have them on at all.
After picking (and eating) our fill of peaches, we headed home to get ready for a night out. This was the perfect time to change into the Remix Boxy Top and Remix Crop Pant. From the get-go the crop pants were definitely my thing: same softness as the shorts, great high waist, flowy cut, and perfect length. The boxy top I admittedly struggled with a bit. Everything about it is perfect from the material to the cut but… and I say this cautiously because I know not everyone is the same, but when I’m headed out for the night I prefer a bit more of a tailored feel to my clothing. This was the perfect opportunity to see just how versatile these pieces could be with a bit of accessorizing. With just a belt and necklace the entire outfit was transformed. I was able to pull in the waist lines and accentuate the flawless cut of the neckline without taking any of the comfort away. After dinner on the car ride home I easily took off the belt to feel more comfortable from eating just a bit too much – I’m thinking I already know what outfit I’ll be wearing for Thanksgiving!
Final thoughts: Ahh… I know this is a long post but when trying to cover three pieces it was bound to happen. Let’s see if I can succinctly wrap up my entire experience with the Encircled Remix Collection:
- Don’t judge a book by its cover. I did when first scrolling through the Encircled website. While basics don’t’ call out to me, you can easily style the pieces to fit your individual style.
- If you’re looking for pieces that are unbelievably comfortable, flattering, perfect for layering and versatility, AND will go the distance the Remix Collection is where you should start.
- Throughout the day I felt like I had my pajamas on. I really can’t stress enough just how soft the material is and how perfectly cut the pieces are.
- My first criteria when thinking about buying any item is to look at the company’s commitment to sustainability. Encircled goes above and beyond to uphold sustainable practices across the board (I won’t go into detail in this post because it’s already really long but you can and definitely should check out their story and practices here)
- After wearing each of the pieces for several hours and then again over the next few days I know they will be mixed and matched individually and worn as a complete outfit for many years to come. – Honestly I may even wear them to bed – did I mention how comfortable they are? 🙂
Knowing that I will re-wear these pieces long into the future should I do another post in the winter with Encircled Remix Collection pieces styled differently?
I actually always prefer my clothes fairly relaxed and not too tailored, even though I adore the tailored look, but it is my preference. Although, a nice tailored jacket will make me feel powerful 😀 Both of those outfits looked great!!
That’s what I think I love most about the pieces is that they are so incredibly versatile. You can accessorize to tailor them a bit more or enjoy them in a looser fit. They are ideal pieces for fitting whatever mood you’re in! 🙂

Whether you’re a first-time cutter or a sophisticated user making ready for a contest, there are effective choices for every stage. Understanding the risks of slicing steroids is simply as essential as understanding the benefits. With proper planning, help, and schooling, many unwanted side effects can be prevented or managed safely. Whereas the aim of slicing is fat discount, some customers should still discover fluctuations in weight because of hormonal shifts or water retention, as seen in sure instances of steroid-related weight achieve.
An intermediate Winstrol cycle for women may embrace dosages of as a lot as 10mg per day for a cycle size of 6 weeks. Primobolan cycles for women will embody dosages of mg per week, cut up into 2 injections weekly. The addition of an Oral Steroids list (https://vegetalid.fr/images/pgs/?anavar_acheter_2.html) compound is an choice, normally toward the cycle’s finish.
Hopefully, my list of one of the best fat burner dietary supplements for men can function a little gentle at the end of the pudgy tummy. It is also necessary to notice that this day by day dosage was administered for 12 weeks, which is extreme for an Anavar cycle, which solely sometimes lasts for 6–8 weeks (and even much less for women, being 4–5 weeks). In distinction to Anavar, less analysis has been carried out on Winstrol with regard to the liver. However, we do know that very modest dosages (12.5 mg/day) have little impact on ALT and AST enzymes (4). Whereas we see excessive dosages of Winstrol having the power to cause severe hepatotoxicity, even in wholesome bodybuilders (5).
You’ll depart with a greater understanding of these compounds, how they work, and what they will do to the human physique. SERMs will work by binding to estrogen receptors, this stops the estrogen within the physique from binding and causing any serious points. This method will not fully remove estrogen from the physique, so there might be still a small risk of unwanted effects.
Its strength-enhancing attributes may be as a end result of its unique ability to shuttle ATP (an important molecule for energy) inside the muscle cells. The quantity of steroids used without a prescription is far higher. “We have to coach folks,” says Thomas O’Connor, aka the “Anabolic Doc,” who specializes in sufferers looking for recovery from anabolic-steroid use.
SARMs used for cutting could cause completely different problems, such as Ostarine inflicting hepatic pressure, elevated ldl cholesterol, and impairment to the HPTA. We have found that steroids will considerably lower testosterone production, whereas Cardarine and Stenabolic don’t have an result on the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis (HPTA). Stenabolic, in contrast to SARMs, presents cardioprotective properties due to its suppressive results on LDL cholesterol (4).
Nevertheless, individuals with robust genetics may not experience male sample baldness. Trenbolone does not aromatize and trigger excessive estrogen levels, unlike some other bulking steroids. Nevertheless, gynecomastia remains potential because of trenbolone elevating progesterone levels. Anavar, regardless of being a chopping agent, is very effective at rising muscular power. We have recognized a number of elite strongmen who cycle Anavar before a contest.
Testosterone is included in chopping cycles to help preserve lean muscle mass and keep overall hormonal balance, which can be disrupted during calorie-restricted intervals. When planning a cutting steroid cycle, think about components like expertise, targets, tolerance of side effects, finances, and legal issues. A typical oral slicing cycle might include Anavar and Winstrol for 8-12 weeks.An injectable chopping cycle could embrace Trenbolone and Masteron for weeks. Equipoise could be described as a slightly stronger model of Deca Durabolin and less expensive. It is more androgenic than Deca, resulting in reasonable lean muscle gains and a few fat loss.
Anabolic steroids bind to many androgen receptors throughout the body. This is how we get such a major reduction in androgenic-type unwanted aspect effects while still getting benefits like muscle development. Every SARM is different, however most are designed to bind to skeletal muscle tissue receptors. You can see substantial fats loss by the end of this cycle if you put the work in.
This is as a result of of it causing important cardiovascular strain due to a rise in levels of cholesterol (LDL). Anavar additionally has diuretic effects, eradicating extracellular fluid that obscures muscle definition. Testosterone just isn’t appropriate for women to take because of its robust androgenic score.
