Happy Friday!!! I don't know why I'm super excited for the weekend, I guess it's been a long week for me. Do you guys remember when I reviewed this jacket last year in dove gray? I ended up returning it and to be honest it was one of those jackets I kept thinking about. So when I saw Alo Yoga decided to release it in pale mauve this year, I just had to try it again.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops.
I'm wearing size XS and while it's still a generous fit, I am kind of digging the look, maybe because the oversized look is very in this year. In the photos, the bottom band doesn't quite lay smooth, and that's because I didn't realize I didn't pull the jacket up to flatten it out. I didn't have time to retake the photos. You can see it looks fine on the dove gray.
The hood is removable, but realize I never actually removed the hood when I had the dove gray color. So here are some pics. I don't think there are many pictures out there showing the jacket without the hood. I definitely think the hood adds to the cute factor but the flaps were the main reason I had returned the dove gray. For whatever reason, the flaps do not bother me as much in the pale mauve color! I think it's because I'm a sucker for pink. 😂
The price is still the same as last year at $188. I do expect Alo Yoga to have another friends & family sale next month with a 30% off coupon. I know size XS usually sells out fast, so I didn't want to chance missing out on this pretty pink color.
The sherpa is soft, but not super soft. This is a very high quality jacket that is better quality than Athleta's Tugga Sherpa jacket I bought last year. I guess you do get what you pay for. Athleta's jacket is $128. Plus the Foxy Sherpa Jacket matches my pink Balenciaga bag! I definitely feel pretty in pink. (Sorry couldn't help myself there.)
What do you all think? Which camp are you in? Return it! Or it definitely looks better in pink? That's it for me. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Thank you for this review! I was torn between dove grey and pale mauve and your post made my decision :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely pale mauve is the colour!
Hi! Yes between the two, pale mauve wins!
DeleteI think it looks more like it is wearing you than you are wearing it. (Sorry)
ReplyDeleteBest clothes enhance your beauty rather than overwhelm it.
I can totally see that. It's a statement piece for sure.
DeleteThe jacket does look a bit big on you but hey, if you feel pretty in it, then definitely keep it! You wear something that makes you happy and not others!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm about 90% sure about the jacket. I'm going to definitely decide by tomorrow. I'll try it on again in a bit. I really do love the color!
DeleteI love this Alo jacket on you, personally. I have it in the camel color and the quality can’t be beat. My vote is to keep it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny! My BFF has it in camel and she looks amazing in it, but she's also 10 inches taller than me so everything looks fantastic on her.
DeleteThat color is so cute and makes you look like a pink teddy! I have a baby pink sherpa jacket too from UO so it's less fancy but I wore it all the time last winter bc it was so warm yet fashionable. I love the look!Especially with that handbag
ReplyDeleteLOL pink teddy! Thanks I'll take it. =D It's definitely a trendy jacket, but it is very warm. At least it is good for winter here.
DeleteLove this jacket on you. I just came across your blog and I like your blog and how detailed your reviews are. I’m also petite person like you. Any more jackets/coats recommendations for fall/winter?? Looking forward to your new posts.
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for coming by, I am looking for a new winter coat this year, and I'm leaning towards keeping this one. I was also browsing Patagonia for a down jacket but haven't tried it yet. I usually like Lululemon for winter coats as well, but so far this year I haven't seen one that I like, but it's still early so I will wait for new coats to be released.
DeleteAdorable!! Have you washed or dry cleaned it yet? How does it look post wash?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I actually ended up returning it. As much as I loved the pink, decided it was too teddy bear for me.
