Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I did a store try on post. I went to Athleta last weekend and the Sightseer Lace Jacket caught my eye. It also looks like Athleta updated their Farallon Jogger sizing.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XS or PXS in Athleta. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.
Sightseer Lace Jacket Magnolia White Size XXS
also wearing Farallon Jogger in Mountain Olive - OP (discontinued color)
This is a light weight spring jacket that can be used for running or for casual wear. The color is Magnolia White. In person it looks like ivory. I'm wearing size XXS and there's enough room to layer. The length almost covers my bottom completely. In the front it's a little shorter and hits at low hip. This jacket does come in petite sizing, I would have liked to try the PXS to compare. The stores unfortunately do not carry petite sizing. I wish they would!
Has a side zip for ventilation.
The back of the jacket has a ruching detail going across. The inside of the jacket is lined in lace.
Overall it's a very cute light weight jacket and it did make me happy wearing it. Price is $149, but with the many sales that Athleta has, I would say wait for the 20% off.
Next up we have a fan favorite, Farallon Jogger in a new Tawny Rose shade. I have a couple of pairs of these joggers and have always purchased size 0P. Now the sizes are no longer numeric and have switched over to letter sizing. I'm wearing size XS here and would definitely prefer PXS.
The length is just a tad too long at 27 inches, the petite length is 25 inches. These joggers are super comfortable and very easy to wear. The waist is stretchy with an adjustable cord. While I love this rose color, I am not sure I would reach for it. I think I prefer rose colored tops over bottoms. Let me know what you think!
That's it for me! Hope you all have a wonderful start to the last week of April! 😊

Thanks for the review, Leslie! I ordered the Sightseer Lace Jacket and it should be arriving this Friday. It looks cute on you and I hope I'm going to like it! :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh let me know how you like it! =D
DeleteThe jacket just arrived and I LOVE IT! The details are so cute and it’s what LLL clothes are missing these days. I didn’t know there was a tape running down the sleeve but don’t mind it. Love the ruching in the back and the bottom of the jacket. My husband took a picture of the back for me and I could actually see the lace pattern underneath which is kind of pretty! The jacket is a bit pricey even with a 20% off but it’s totally worth it!!
DeleteIt’s me, Andrea, who left the above comment. The “unable to sign in” comment keeps showing up every time I try to log into my google account to comment. Hopefully the glitch will be fixed soon,
DeleteWOW that was fast shipping!! Yes I totally agree Lulu is missing the details these days. I did not know the lace pattern underneath showed up on the back, but that makes sense as the fabric is very thin and featherlight. Sounds gorgeous!
DeleteCheck to see there's any updates on your laptop or iPad, sometimes that's what's causing the issue. =)
hi Leslie! Thanks for the fit review. Magnolia White looks great on you! I think the colour brightens your face! The Farallon joggers look nice in Tawny Rose, but I agree that petite length would be better! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Magnolia White is surprisingly wearable! I'm slowly starting to embrace lighter colors, especially for tops. Bottoms, I still prefer a darker shade most of the time!
DeleteI really wish Athleta had petite in store too! Sometimes I prefer regular sizing and sometimes petite but I don't like to order a bunch online just to try in multiple sizes... I'd rather go in store!
ReplyDeleteAlso I tried the Aritzia TNA Butter cheeky shorts and found it gives bad camel toe :( Do I need a size up?? I tried on XS
Yes! I'm the same way. Sometimes I like the regular sizing over the petite sizing. I always end up ordering a bunch of sizes to see which I prefer. It is a little annoying having to return all the time!
DeleteOh no! I would try a size up and see if the camel toe goes away. I've been working out with them at home and haven't noticed. But then again I don't look super closely. =T
