Fit Review Friday! Store Try Ons at Athleta and Lululemon! Breezy Muscle Tank, Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short, Stretch Woven Wide Leg Crop
Happy Friday! I can't believe it's going to be June tomorrow. This year is flying by. It's the start of summer season here in Hotlanta. I'm super grateful I have a few linen pieces to keep cool, but I wanted to pick up a few more.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 in Lululemon bottoms and size Petite XS in Athleta.
Athleta's Breezy Muscle Tank feels like it's linen, but it's a mix of Tencel/Modal and Polyester. It's thin and lightweight and perfect for hotter days. It is a little bit on the sheer side. I'm wearing size XXS, but I found it a little too high in the armhole. You can see in the photo this tank has extra arm coverage, which is nice, but I would have preferred an XS because of it. The length hits at high hip, which I do like a lot. It's the perfect length where it's not too long or too short and still looks clean and put together. Price is $44 which I think is fair. The store didn't have XS in stock otherwise I would have walked out with it. I am going to wait for the next Athleta sale to place an order for this tank.
Next, we have the Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short in Storm Cloud. This is a pretty light blue with gray undertones. The linen is quite soft and not scratchy. I'm wearing size XS and they are super comfortable. I actually think the outfit looks cute for a casual weekend vibe. I just need to find better footwear to go with it. These shorts also have zippered side pockets!
Price is $59, which is a little high in my opinion. I bought these using some of my reward points to bring the price down. Oh, and this is my second pair of these shorts. 😊
I also stopped by a different Lululemon store to see if they had any Taupetastic items I'm looking for. They did have it in the Stretch Woven HR Wide Leg Cropped Pant. I'm wearing size small.
I remember trying these on last year and size XS was a little too tight in the waist, so I decided to try size small and it was a much better fit. The wide leg look is very on trend at the moment, and while these fit me like full length pants, they are very flattering with the side slit at the hem. I love the color so much, it's such a pretty neutral.
I love the woven fabric, it's super lightweight and airy. The only thing I didn't like is the price. These retail for $148. Ouch! I would have purchased these to wear to the office otherwise. I will wait until they're on WMTM.
That's it for me! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and here's to an amazing June!

Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fit reviews! I tried on the Retreat LInen High Rise Ankle Pant in Storm Cloud size XXS and loved both the color and fabric. Sadly only Regular length was available and wearing them as full length pant, the hem was too tapered. :( Would've worked if the hem was straight.
LLL's Stretch Woven HR Wide Leg Cropped Pant looks cute on you! Taupetastic is such a beautiful neutral color and I would give Dance Studio Mid-Rise Pant Short another try if it comes out in Taupetastic. :)
Enjoy the nice weather and have a wonderful weekend!
Andrea
Hi Andrea! Ah too bad it wasn't straight leg for the Linen Pant. I love their Retreat Linen line.
DeleteYes, Taupetastic is my new fave color. I have been eyeing it in the Dance Studio Crops myself!
I've been watching those Taupetastic Stretch Woven Pants as well! I wish they would go on markdown.
ReplyDeleteI have the Breezy Muscle Tank in Orchid. I agree, it's a nice light top for summer. I liked the xs better than xxs as well.
I think the Abalone tank would look so cute with the Taupetastic pants! I want that outfit :)
Hi Lola! You're totally right, those two pieces would make such a cute outfit. Hopefully the Woven Pants will go on markdown soon for us! =D
DeleteThe cropped joggers look pretty good to me, but I always wondered if it hit at a weird length and made me look even shorter 😆 will have to try to find out
ReplyDeleteHi AC! If you try the cropped joggers, let me know how you like them!
DeleteThe LLL wide legged pants are cute on you. I was looking at Vuori and have a few fit review requests. The Isla baggie pant, falls jumpsuit and solar shorts. Thank you so much! No worries if you can't do them! Cindy
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! I'll take a look at the Vuori items, if they interest me I will do a fit review. Thanks!
DeleteI still can't decide if I like the Stretch Woven Wide Leg Crop or not. I like the style but feel like wide legs only make me look shorter. I guess I'm short, and that's all there is to it, though! $148 is pretty steep, so I would def wait for WMTM. Everything Taupetastic has to be headed there soon.
ReplyDeleteHi LZ! Yeah I like the look, I think it looks cute with the side slits at the hem. I grew up in the 90s, so I am nostalgic about the wide leg trend haha.
