I can't believe the weekend is already over! Last Friday was my first full day back at the office. I'm probably going to be at the office a few times a week to start. I'm so not used to waking up at 6:30 am and my commute is much longer now that we moved to a new office. It's anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. 😓 Now that life is starting to go back to normal, I'll be reviewing more non-athleisure items probably a few times a month. Today, we have part 2 of my Lululemon haul.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms. However for the Define Jacket I tend to size up to a 6.
also wearing Athleta Elevation V-Neck Crop Tawny Rose Size Small
I'm wearing my usual size 4 and find it to be true to size. I ordered the long version for extra length, I think this would be a really cute skirt to wear out casually, rather than to workout in. The waistband is stretchy and I found it to be comfortable. The length measures long 15 inches long. The material is light-weight Swift fabric. The liner has pockets to hold your phone and apparently can also fit a tennis ball! The liner also has these rubber grips at the hem. I did notice them when I first put them on, but after a couple of minutes, I forgot they were even there. Price is high at $88. Why are skirts so expensive these days?
For those of you interested, I'm also wearing Athleta Elevation V-Neck Crop Tawny Rose in size small. I have already wore it once for an upper body workout and I absolutely love how it feels, so I immediately went and ordered two more colors. I think I'm obsessed with this crop tank. The tank has very little support, so I do not recommend unless you're very small on top like I am or planning to do low impact workouts. I definitely prefer this over the Align Tank.
Next up we have the very highly anticipated Nulu Cropped Define Jacket in Vintage Plum. I went with size 6 and found it to fit perfectly. It wasn't tight anywhere at all. The size 6 feels snug but I didn't feel squeezed in.
I absolutely love the length. It hits at the high hip and accentuates the figure. The color Vintage Plum is brighter in real life, I thought it would be more subdued. I didn't love it so it's going back.

Elation Rib Crop Flare Size PXS (review coming soon)
The sleeves are a little long on my short arms, but when I folded the cuffs inwards, it turned out to be the perfect length! Overall, I really do love this cropped version of the Define Jacket and will definitely buy in another color that suits me better. The length of the body is just so much more petite friendly. Now if only they would make the sleeves shorter for us! 😏
That's it for me, hope you all have a fantastic Monday!

Court rival skirt and nulu cropped define - two of my favorite Lulu items! Do u like the skirt? R u keeping it?
ReplyDeleteToo bad the cropped define didn't work out... I went to my sz 4 and it fits perfectly - even the arm length... Hard to believe! I wore my vintage plum for the first time (finally) and zipped and tucked into my high waisted skirt - that's my weekend uniform 😁
Hi Blueberries, I don't wear skirts enough to justify keeping it. Especially at $88. Yikes. I would definitely consider if it was on sale. It's very cute.
DeleteOhhhh that uniform sounds really cute. I never would have thought to tuck it into a high waisted skirt. I'm going to keep an eye out for new colors in the Cropped Define. It seems popular enough that I think Lulu will keep it going.
hi Leslie, Thanks for the fit review! The cropped define jacket looks good when you fold the sleeves inward. I think some Lulu stores can hem the sleeves if you're interested. Vintage Plum looks a little brighter than expected, but it's very pretty on you!
ReplyDeleteI hope transitioning back to the office won't be too bad for you. At least your new office looks very nice!
Hi Karen! I think I will consider hemming the sleeves once I find one I like. It does look really good at that length.
DeleteThank you, I hope I will get used to going into the office again. So far it's been rough! I'm super tired when I get home. The office is really nice though, but still- I prefer my living room. LOL.
Does the skirt fit more like hotty hot shorts? Or more like speed ups? I ordered a skirt for the first time and would like to know

Hi there, from what I remember the waist was pretty comfortable but the wide band isn't like either short. The liner was true to size, I didn't have any issues with it. The leg opening on the liner has these grippy nubs to keep it in place. I felt the nubs were pretty noticeable but after a few minutes I got used to it. Hope that helps!
