Fit Review Friday! Down For It All Jacket, Day Maker Full Zip Hoodie, Sincerely Yours Wrap Sweater, Align Crop Cross Waist, Love Crew Fade
It is finally my birthday and I'm officially 39. 😑 I tried to make the best of it by going to the mall even though it was pouring rain all day and we even got a flash flooding notice on my iPhone. Turned out I made the right call by going anyway! This post is super image heavy. Normally I would split a trip like this into two posts, but it is too good not to share all at once. There are almost forty photos! Let's get started!
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.
I'm not sure what color this is. My guess would be porcelain pink or smoky blush. I'm wearing my usual size 4 and it fits perfectly, almost too perfect. It is slim fit and if you want to layer or wear anything bulky underneath, I would size up. The color is just lovely though!
I really didn't expect to like this color so much and was sorely tempted to purchase this, but decided not to since I don't really need another jacket, although I do need some kind of rain jacket as I realize I do not have anything appropriate for warm rainy weather.
The length hits at the hip and the sleeves are long, you can see they are very bunchy and not very flattering. Still a very cute jacket. Especially in this pink color!
Next up, you all asked for a review of the Day Maker Full Zip Hoodie in lunar rock and here it is!
The color is kind of a brown-purplish gray. It was hard to capture on the iPhone because of the back lighting. It is a very pretty neutral in my opinion. The first thing I noticed is how soft it felt. It doesn't say that it is made of nulu fabric, but it sure felt like it.
This is also a very slim fitting jacket and once I zipped it up completely, I felt very tucked in. It was still comfortable, but definitely feels like you're wearing a bodycon dress. The sleeves are long, but not quite as long as the Radiant Jacket, but it was close.
It feels okay with the thumbholes but without using the thumbholes, they are way too long. The length of the jacket hits below the bum. This is a lightweight jacket and would be a great spring/early summer piece.
Overall, I liked the jacket, but not quite enough to purchase it. It is true to size and if you're in-between sizes, definitely size up.
From Tuesday's upload I really wanted to try the Sincerely Yours Wrap Sweater, especially in the tidewater teal. I'm normally not a green person but this one really called my name. It's not overly green. I want to say it has a blue tint to it. Almost like a seafoam green.
I really was hoping I wouldn't like this in person, but it was love at first sight. The feel of this wrap is so soft and luxurious there was no stopping me from swiping my card. Do I think it's worth the price of $158 plus tax? Probably not. But it is my birthday so I decided to splurge a little bit on myself! I'm wearing size XS and I feel very comfortable in this. The sleeves are just a little bit long and there are thumbholes, which is nice!
I also like the fact that this is something I can wear to the office. The details on this wrap is what makes it extra special. It is also made of cashlu which explains the coziness. I also like the duster length. Can't wait to wear this one out!
Next up we have the Align Crop 21" Cross Waist in the diamond dye stargaze pitch gray. The first thing that comes to mind is how buttery soft this pair felt. All of my Align Crops feel buttery soft, but this one was just extra buttery soft.
The print itself is okay, the gray and white coalescing reminds me of marble. I am not 100% loving the contrasting seams though. I would have preferred if they used a lighter color for the seams. I was wearing a light color pair of underwear, and it passed the bend test, but I can't say it is opaque 100% if you're wearing a dark colored underwear.
I'm wearing my usual size 4 and these are true to size. The waist is high and it hits my belly button in the front but the sides are even higher because of the cross waist band. It's a very cute look.
The waist band sits very high up my back.
Love Crew Fade Size 2
I decided to give the Love Crew another try to see if I still didn't like it. The curve hem really does not flatter me at all. I'm wearing a size 2 here, but I think the 4 would be better because of the chest/armpit area. The length would still be an issue. If I did purchase this I would opt to hem it straight across. I do like the color here, although it doesn't seem to be on the website. Maybe it's a new color?
Not much else to say about this tee except it is very thin and slightly see-through. It reminds me of J.Crew's tissue tees.
I liked the pink Down For It All Jacket so much I decided to grab the night diver from the sale rack to try. A bunch of colors are on sale for $139. I think for that price the jacket is worth it. But I do think I prefer the pink color more!
That's it for me! Hope you all enjoyed my shopping trip to Lululemon. I did manage to hit up Coach and Athleta as well, which I will write about next! Have a fantastic weekend everybody!!

Happy birthday!! Lunar rock is such a pretty color! The cross waist is cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteHappy birthday! :) I like the Lunar rock color on you. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I had a lot of fun!
DeleteHappy birthday! I loved everything you tried on. It has made me want to do a shopping trip of my owm now :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think I'm going to make it a birthday tradition! =D
DeleteSounds like you’ve had a wonderful birthday!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fit review and while I’m glad to hear that the Cross Waist Align Crop is buttery soft in this print, I’m also not loving the contrasting seams.
Lunar Rock is such a pretty color but the jacket looks a bit thin for my liking. I wish Lululemon would release a Scuba Hoodie or a softshell in this lovely color.
The Sincerely Yours Wrap Sweater in Tidewater Teal looks nice on you! Not a green person but this sweater is calling my name ... I love the texture and the length of the sweater but definitely not the price tag!
Why is everything getting so expensive at Lululemon? Feels like I can only purchase from the WMTM section if the prices keep going up!
I did!
DeleteI would agree with you there, it is a little thin. Would love to see it in a nice wrap too!
Price tag is high- like I said if it wasn't my birthday I probably would wait for it to go on WMTM.
I am hoping this year, I will keep my purchases to a minimum. I just re organized my closet and boy do I have a lot of clothes... I have to keep that in mind whenever I feel the need to press the buy button!
Have you been able to try on the aligns in the new nightfall blossom multi print or the go forward pullover that’s on WMTM? Both are on my radar! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the nightfall blossom Aligns. I have a review coming up soon! Have not seen the Go Forward Pullover though.
DeleteHappy belated birthday! So many pretty colors today. As always, thank you for the time you take for these fit reviews. That Day Maker hoodie really reminds me of the Stop Over Jacket from last year. The details are slightly different, but the over all look is similar. I think you tried that one on last year. I have it in black and it is really nice for travel.
ReplyDeleteI haven't bought any lulu stuff in several months - trying to cut back on buying clothes! But I still like looking. The down for it all jacket is very nice. I like the pink on you!
Thank you Shirley! And yes you're right, I have a review of the Stopover Jacket from 2018.

They are very similar in style and color too! What a good memory you have!
I am trying to only buy one thing from Lululemon a month. This month is the Sincerely Yours Wrap so I'm done until March!
I caved and just purchased the Sincerely Yours Wrap Sweater in that beautiful tidewater teal color you have. Hoping I’ll love it as much as you do! Thanks for these reviews, they are always super helpful!
ReplyDeleteNice! I hope you love it. Definitely let me know what you think of it when it arrives! =D
DeleteIt arrived today and I love it! The color is beautiful and it’s super soft. I think I’ll get a lot of wear out of it!
ReplyDeleteYay! So glad you love it too! Same here. It will be in my regular rotation of wraps. I'm very happy with this one.
DeleteThanks for the great photos and reviews! I'm considering the DFIA Jacket, but the online reviews are all over the place. This post helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, what are those gorgeous galaxy print tights you're wearing?? Me likey.
Thanks! Those are Nightmare Werkshop Leggings. I wear a size small in the athleisure tights. Super comfy!

Forgot to add, I have a review of them up on my blog. Just do a search for werkshop!
DeleteEeek - love them! THANK YOU!!
DeleteLittle late to the party here with the stargaze- do you think Lulu will release this color in reg Align 21"?
ReplyDeleteProbably not at this point? Haven't seen it.
