Happy Friday! It's currently 67 degrees this morning and False Fall is in the air. The high is still mid 80s today, but it sure does feel nice and cool when I leave the house. I'm definitely ready for fall. I'm looking to refresh my wardrobe with a few pieces. At the moment, Athleta really has my attention with their current offerings.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size Petite XS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon tops.
Allure Shirt Jacket Bone Petite XS
This Allure Shirt Jacket reminds me of Frank & Eileen but half the price. I've been looking for a Shacket the last couple of years but until this one came around, they all looked too oversized on my petite frame. The Allure Shirt Jacket is semi-oversized but still looks flattering. I absolutely love how it drapes so easily. The fabric is smooth and soft. It's feels really comfortable on.
I'm wearing size Petite XS and love the length. The sleeves are too long as usual, but I will be wearing it with the sleeves rolled and cuffed. I think this will be something I will wear on the weekends as well as to the office. I still think it's professional enough to wear in a business casual setting.
It also looks great unbuttoned. I can't wait to wear this out! Do you think it looks better buttoned or unbuttoned?
Endless Bomber Jacket Navy Petite XS
The sleeves are way too long and this isn't the type of sleeve where you can roll it up and cuff because the inside is lined. I think this jacket looks the most flattering left open. The length of the jacket is perfect, and very petite friendly. It hits at high hip.
Overall this bomber is petite friendly minus the sleeve length. Not sure what happened there. I like that the inside is lined and the overall cut and fit is flattering. They just forgot to shorten the sleeves some more. 😅 I ended up sending this back.

That bone color is so pretty for a shirt jacket and looks great on you! The bomber is alright even the color. I want the HH HR in vita pink! -Janessa
ReplyDeleteHi Janessa! I'm tempted by the HH shorts too! I think I need to go up a size though, they just keep getting smaller or I'm getting bigger LOL.
DeleteHi Leslie! The Allure shirt jacket is a great find! I think it looked nice both buttoned up or unbuttoned as a causal jacket.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I like that it is versatile.
DeleteI love how the Allure Shirt looks on you, Leslie, and the color goes with everything!
ReplyDeleteAthleta definitely comes up with more interesting designs while LLL tends to release new colors in best selling items.

Hi Andrea! Thank you! I totally agree and honestly I am getting a little bored of Lululemon these days. There's not a whole lot that is interesting to me.
DeleteI like how the shoulder drops on the shirt jacket, which is probably why it drapes so well. Can’t believe fall is upon us, it sure feels that way! The bomber is a no for me, just way too much sleeve
ReplyDeleteThanks AC! I have seen some dropped shoulders where it doesn't work. I think it also depends on the fabric. This one is just so smooth and soft.
