Happy Friday! It's super rainy and taking these photos for today's post were a challenge. I had to brighten them up to show detail but I think they turned out well enough. I've got a Lululemon fit request and an Alo Yoga review coming up.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS and Petite 0 in Athleta. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon bottoms.
I don't normally wear skirts, but I would make an exception for a skort. 😅 I've been curious about the Transcend Skort since I love the Transcend line in general. The fabric is amazingly soft and stretchy. This skort is a nice change from my usual athleisure uniform. The skort adds a little more flare and style for a date night but still manages to be really comfortable. I read a bunch of reviews and decided to go with size XS. I was a little worried since the Transcend line usually runs on the smaller side but the XS is perfect. I would stick to your usual size.
This skort is extremely flattering. The side ruching is very forgiving and the backside accentuates the bum. I haven't been able to workout as intense as I used to because of my ongoing shoulder issue so I was very surprised to find it still looked great from the back. The liner is 4 inches long and very comfortable. The length of the skirt is slightly adjustable, as you can pull it up or down a bit. I prefer the length to hit around my mid-thigh and with my short legs, this is a winner.
This skort is perfect to wear with a boxy crop top. It's high waisted but not uncomfortable because of the waistband. You feel like you're not wearing anything. It's non-constricting but still manages to look great. The only downside is the black does pick up all the dust and cat hair!
Price is $79, a little steep, but if you can get it for 20% of 25% off, I would say it's worth it. This also comes in a really nice Bali Green shade that's also very tempting, but I personally would get the most use out of black.
Hi Flash!
This is a keeper!
Crossroads Short Lazurite Blue Size XS
The Crossroads Short was a fit request. I went with the Lazurite Blue and it is stunning in person if you love a nice saturated pop of color. The website photos are accurate. These shorts are made of Featherweight stretch and feel silky to the touch. They are super comfortable and airy. These shorts are unlined.
Love the side pockets!
The waistband is stretchy and sits at my belly button. There is an adjustable drawstring at the waist. I would say these fit a smidge large, so if you're in-between sizes, I would size down. The inseam measures 3.5 inches long and they do look a little too long on petite legs. I personally prefer a shorter length. They're also a little too wide in the thigh. Sizing down might be an option since they're unlined. These are currently on sale for $44.99 and if you can find the right fit, I do like how lightweight they feel.
That's it for me! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

(Somehow this still feels like full price. 😒)
The skort looks great on u! I love skorts myself especially if it looks exactly like a skirt from the outside 😍
ReplyDeleteHi Blueberries! Me too, if this was a skirt, I wouldn't want to wear it. But a skort? Yes please!
