Happy Friday! I dropped by the store last weekend for some quick try ons at Athleta. The store does not carry petite sizing and I'm wearing size XS in both tops.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta tops. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon.
(on sale!)
This gorgeous blue is called Dark Lapis Blue and it's currently on sale for $84.99. I'm wearing size XS and it's a pretty good fit. I think I would still prefer petite sizing just because the sleeves are a bit too long.
This is semi-fitted and the inside is super cozy, this jacket is lined in brushed fleece. I love the thumbholes and zippered pockets. If you're in the market for a new jacket, this one gets a thumbs up from me.
Next up, we have the Retroterry Crewneck Sweatshirt in Grey Heather. I'm wearing size XS. This sweatshirt does not come in petite sizing.
This crewneck sweatshirt is sooooo comfy and made of super soft terry. This top has a relaxed fit with room to move in and room for layering underneath if you wanted to. The length hits at my low hip. Sleeves are slightly long, but overall I'm very pleased with this top. It would make a nice spring or transitional piece.
For $79, it's a great staple but a little pricey. I would definitely wait for a coupon. I kinda wish I needed a new sweatshirt, but I seriously have too many and have to cut myself off. I might have to do another round of cleaning out my closet soon.
That's it for me! Happy Mother's Day for all the mom's out there taking care of your kids and furbabies. Have a wonderful weekend!

I love your in-store try-on reviews, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteI did think of getting the Retroterry Crewneck Sweatshirt but not sure if it would be too short on me. Thanks for your fit review, guess I will size up to XS if I want to give it a try. Size XXS will definitely be too short for my liking.
I got the Coaster Luxe Recover High Hip Sweatshirt in Granite Blue during last week's sale and the quality is disappointing. The material is paper thin and it looks so cheap. Definitely not worth even the sale price. I remember getting one in the longer original version for a friend last spring and the material was thicker. I would pay more to get something in the luxurious Seasoft material.

Hi Andrea! Thanks so much! I will definitely try and do more store try on posts going forward.
DeleteThat's too bad about the Coaster Luxe Sweatshirt. I love Granite Blue too. I had an old Coaster Luxe Sweatshirt from years ago that I loved. I agree with you on Seasoft. Would love to see more in that fabric. I bought a few items from the sale last week but they are on back-order.
