5th Anniversary Giveaway & Fit Review Friday! Ebb To Street Crop Tank, Adapted State HR Jogger Crop, Beyond The Studio Crop
Can you believe I've been blogging for five years? I can't! For my 5th Anniversary I am giving away a $200 Lululemon gift card to one lucky reader. All you have to do is follow me on Instagram, like my post and leave me a comment. I know some of you do not have an Instagram account. I would suggest asking a friend to enter for you, just make sure your friend is not into Lululemon. 😃 The post will be up tomorrow on my Instagram page and I will announce the winner next Friday the 22nd. This is my way of thanking all my readers who have stuck around this long and I've really come to enjoy getting to know some of you. I always look forward to reading everyone's comments. I appreciate every single one of you.
Without further ado, let's get on with today's fit review. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.

This is my newest Ebb To Street Racerback Tank in Pink Lychee. I am wearing my usual size 6 in bras. Someone asked if Pink Lychee would work with asian skin tone and I think the answer is, "Yes!". The Ebb To Street Racerback Crop is my current favorite workout tank. I'm loving the built in bra. Not having to choose a bra and a tank separately is kind of amazing. So worth the $58!
I have not given up on trying Lululemon bottoms. Here are a couple more. The Adapted State High Rise Jogger Crop 23" piqued my interest. Is it petite friendly? Let's find out.
I'm wearing my usual size 4. The waist fits true to size. This is a high-rise crop but the waist band hits right at my belly button. The length is 23 inches which is fantastic. The length is almost full length on me, it's ankle length. The cuff however is just a little bit on the loose side. If it was a little bit more tapered towards the ankle, I would have kept this one.
The fabric is very light weight and comfortable. It almost feels like Swift fabric. The zipper along the ankle is a nice detail but doesn't make much sense on someone my size since the cuff is still fairly loose. The cuff is meant to hit the calf area and if it's a tight fit the zipper will make it easier to take on and off.
The fabric is a bit thin, panty lines show through.
Next up - Beyond The Studio Crop. I also reviewed Beyond The Studio 7/8 Jogger in the past. I linked to it in case anyone wants to check it out.
I am wearing my usual size 4 and it is true to size. These measure 25 inches in length. They are a little too long and there's extra fabric hanging over my sneakers. The waist is also high-rise and fit is similar to the Adapted State Jogger Crop. There is a drawstring to customize the waist. The fabric is light Swift material.
Love the large pockets.
I like the wide leg fit and love the gray sage color, but the cinchable hem kind of gets a little strange for me. I could not get it to look as good as the model on the website. I found the drawcord to be difficult to use and even harder to get both sides to match up the same. I gave up on it after fiddling with it for a few minutes. 😑
😕
Between the two crops, I liked the Adapted State High Rise Jogger Crop more. It was soooo close to fitting perfectly. If your calves are bigger than mine it is worth trying. That's it for me! Don't forget to enter my giveaway! I'll be posting it tomorrow on Instagram around noon eastern time. Have a fantastic weekend and good luck to all!

Happy 5 years - and thanks for the review! I was looking at the Adapted State High Rise Jogger Crop just this week and hoping you might do a try-on. I gifted my boyfriend a pair of Surge Joggers earlier this year - before the full length Adapted State Joggers came out - and have been curious about them. I'm 5'2", and unfortunately, 23" never works quite right on me. They are always an awkward length and too baggy. I don't anticipate these will be any different. I might check out the full length version instead.
ReplyDeleteHi LZ- Thank you! I did try the full length Adapted State Joggers. They measure 28 inches in length and were much too long and baggy. on me. If you want to see some photos, here's my review.

I have the hardest time finding Lulu bottoms that fit me that are not shorts. Most of my crops and joggers are from Vuori and Athleta.
The ebb crop looks good on you! Were you wearing the ebb crop in spiced chai when trying on the two Lulu pants?
ReplyDeleteI think the cinchable hems look unique! You might have to adjust the hem when you have them off to make them even - that's what I do with my tie back tops! 😅
Yup! Good eye. I have the ETS Crop Tank in 5 colors now. Couldn't pass up Spiced Chai either. Would love it in Capri or Capture Blue!
DeleteAhhhh I knew there had to be a trick!
hi Leslie! Happy 5th Anniversary! Thank you for the review on the ETS Racerback Crop Tank in Pink Lychee! You're right! This pink is very flattering on you! I like that it's not as bright as Pow Pink and is more versatile for streetwear.
ReplyDeleteI think there's now a fleece-lined version of the Adapted State joggers. It's too bad that the length doesn't work on petites. Otherwise, it may be a good option for colder days.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks Karen!! I definitely recommend Pink Lychee. I like it better than Pow Pink, for sure.
DeleteOh really. I didn't see the fleeced lined version of the Adapted State Joggers. I have to look that up. But agree, the length just doesn't work for us.
Happy 5th Anniversary, Leslie! I have been looking at the Adapted State High Rise Jogger Crop 23" and thank you so much for doing a fit review. I think it would be an awkward length on me! Love the color though.
ReplyDeleteThe Beyond The Studio Crop Gray Sage looks nice on you as long as you don't cinch the hems! :)
Thanks Andrea!! I keep trying Lululemon bottoms but they just disappoint me! The Beyond the Studio crops aren't terrible, but a little basic for me to keep, I have a couple of other bottoms from Athleta that are similar and fit better.
DeleteHaha don't ask a friend to comment who likes LLL! The hem. on the beyond to studio crop looks great on you! Too bad the waistband isn't good! Happy 5 years of blogging! That is amazing and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janessa! Hope you were able to enter! =)
