Fit Review! Short Sweet & Sherpa Jacket



Hope everyone had a nice and relaxing weekend. I finally have pictures to post a review of the Short Sweet & Sherpa Jacket. I am wearing the heathered antique bark color. I'm reviewing it in two sizes - XXS and XS.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and typically a size 4 in Lululemon jackets.


This is the size XS. The length feels really good. Not too short. But the body is boxy and the sleeves are poofy. I do like how wide the collar is. This jacket is very warm and cozy, just like a teddy bear! I also really like the color. It matches my hair. 😄



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This is the XXS and I feel the jacket is too short. It is cropped and not in a good way. The waist band is fairly tight on me and I can feel it riding up when I move. The body definitely looks more fitted and not as boxy as the size XS. The XXS definitely looks more flattering.



The sleeves are a little poofy but not as big as the XS. The XS was borderline ridiculous. Even my husband said so. Unfortunately because of the in-between fit, I decided to return both. Personally if I had to choose, I would go with the XS because of the length.

In other news I was very surprised to see the Pack It Down Jacket and Pack It Down Vest on WMTM.

  1. That Sherpa looks real cute on you. Is that the true color of antique bark in your pics? I didn’t think the sleeves in the xs were too poofy on you. The Sherpa looks so cozy on you :)

    1. Oh the lighting makes it look more yellow- brown, but it's actually a really nice purple mauve in person. Maybe if this ends up on WMTM I'll pick up the XS.

  2. I'm with you on the Sherpa jacket. I got the size S in the end because of the uncomfortable waist fit for the size XS. I do think it is petite friendly though. On my 5'6 frame XS makes my torso look inproportionately short... Also the collar for XS is narrower, so it stands stiffer and keep rubbing my chin.

    1. I guess it is better to size up in this one. The crop length just made it a little uncomfortable. I felt like I would always tug it down. =)
      What color did you get?

    2. I got the white/grey one, but would have preferred it in full white. Still keeping it because it is different from the standard straight cut I see everywhere/. I also have my eyes on the Sherpa Furever Bomber black under the WMTM girls section. It's only $39; if the material is the same it would be a steal...

    3. I've tried some of the girls jackets and it is very hit or miss. The fit is also never right... I would try it if it wasn't on WMTM. Risky since there are no reviews!

  3. I like how the XXS fits on you, it’s looks fitted. Thanks for the review I’ve been keeping my eye on this one

  4. I also like how size xxs fits on you and the color is gorgeous (saw it at one of the stores). I don’t like cropped jackets so it’s a pass for me. By the way, I ended up keeping the Sincerely Sherpa Jacket and am really loving it (okay wait till I have to hand wash it!!!).

    1. Are you sure you can't wash it in the washing machine with the delicate setting? I really hate hand washing anything...

      Delete
    2. Hesitate to try machine washing cos what if it shrinks of the Sherpa material gets stiff ...

    3. You'll have to keep me posted how it turns out with the hand washing.

  5. Thx for the review. I'm usually a 4 in Scuba Hoodies (5ft 3" 118lbs),but just ordered a size XXS b/c that's all I can find. It's so hard to tell from all of the reviews as much depends on how you like it to fit. But, your photos are very helpful. I think the XXS looks great on you. Wish I could find that color. I guess I was too late to the party. Can't wait for the jacket to arrive, although I'm prepared for it to be too small.

    1. Would love to know what you think of the XXS. I did find it to be too cropped on me. Lulu may release it again next year since this was very popular.

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in.
