There's also one thing I want from every Lululemon upload and tonight it's the dusty rose Scuba Hoodie. I also really like the Hatha Wrap but I know that's not likely to get as much use as a hoodie. The dusty rose looks similar to heather bark berry that came out a few years ago. I wonder which color I would prefer. I guess I'll have to find out!
Anything for you tonight?
Anything for you tonight?
(I do love the color but the jacket looks so boxy)
(I guess wide leg pants are making a come back!)
(maybe if this goes on sale)
Hi there! Have you ever tried the Athleta midtown ankle pants?
ReplyDeleteI have not tried those on, but the majority of Athleta pants are usually too baggy on me in the thighs and calves and too long. So I pretty much gave up on their pants. I have a few pairs of bottoms from Athleta girls that fit me almost perfectly.
DeleteEven with petite sizing?
ReplyDeleteI've only tried maybe 3 pairs of petite bottoms and none of them fit me very well. I kept the skulptek jeans, but they are a bit loose on me, they seem to stretch after I wear them. So I try and shrink them in the dryer after each wash.
DeleteInteresting that the petite sizing is still too big. I vaguely remember having to return Athleta pants for that reason too. Just to share, I’ve found a pair of pants I love. I’m about an inch shorter than you. The north face Aphrodite 2.0 pants. I had to pay $10 to get them shortened though. They have a drawstring bottom and remind me of the lulu studio pants. They also make them in a crop length. The Aphrodite line has a variety of bottoms so make sure you look at the correct ones.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I asked about the Athleta midtown pant because they remind me of the lulu jet crop slim pants which they no longer make so I was searching for an alternative. I wonder if I should take the chance. I live in Canada so if I have to return them I won’t be able to until April on our trip to Disneyland. Btw, the banana republic ruffle back sweatshirt is adorable on us petites. I bought the regular xs because I wanted my bum covered.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. It is hard finding bottoms that fit us. I've tried Athleta girls and just recently Ivviva. I think the girls department will have more promise than petite sizing, sadly, because we are on the very short end of the petite spectrum.
DeleteI haven't looked at BR clothes in a while, will have to pop my head over in there.
My taller friends think it’s great that I can fit girls clothes and shoes but I almost feel embarssed about it. I don’t want to look like I’m wearing kids clothes. Otherwise I wouldn’t mind buying ivvivva. But that logo.... it just screams kids size!
DeleteIvviva does have a small logo. My Athleta girl bottoms do not have a logo, maybe try that? I honestly do not mind girls clothing because one, they're cheaper and two they actually fit and make me look good, so I do not mind at all...
DeleteThanks! What size do you take in Athleta girls bottoms? I take a 2 in LLL
DeleteI take a size large in Athleta girls. I am not sure how much smaller you are than me, there's a chance you can do medium or large!
DeleteI've been MIA from your blog recently. My condolences to you & your husband re. Sherlock! Broke my heart to read about his final few wks & days...=(
ReplyDeleteOn a LLL note...I ordered the Scuba hoodie in heathered dusty rose & it's awful. It's like lavender - not pink @ all. I totally regret selling my heathered bark berry (I wasn't feeling it anymore, but I do miss the rose gold zipper). I'll wait patiently for them to release heathered butter pink (https://www.lulufanatics.com/item/22635/lululemon-scuba-hoodie-iii-heathered-butter-pink) or something similar 1 day...
I ordered a black Stride hoodie too. Tags are still on, but I think I'll keep it - can't really go wrong w/ a basic like that!
The Scuba in flutterby pink (https://www.lulufanatics.com/item/29836/lululemon-scuba-hoodie-light-cotton-fleece-flutterby-pink) is lovely, but I'm scared stains will be hard to remove.
Thank you... it's been hard and I've been coping by buying things. =(
DeleteBut that's disappointing that the dusty rose is awful. I'm getting mine today. I'll have some photos to compare the two colors (dusty rose and bark berry). I still have mine but want something a little more light weight.
I haven't tried the Stride Hoodie, but hoping they will release more colors in it. I'm tired of the blacks and grays but at least they got the logo placement right!
The flutterby pink is a little too light for me too.
