Fit Review Friday! Pranayama Restore Wrap, Forever Fleece Full Zip Sweatshirt, Forever Fleece Mid Rise Jogger
Happy Friday! I placed a really big Athleta order during their 20% off sale, so the haul will be broken into a few fit reviews. Before we get into it, Allbirds is having their Labor Day Sale with 30% off everything except for their Tree Gliders. I do want to try the Tree Gliders and will see about visiting an Allbirds store this weekend. My new favorite is their Tree Runner Go. I am tempted to order another pair in Rugged Beige.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta and Size 4/6 in Lululemon.
Pranayama Restore Wrap Smoky Rose Size PXS
(Currently on sale $66.75)
The Pranayama Restore Wrap is a basic that everyone should have. I wear this wrap at home for when I want to lounge around and I can also get away with wearing this to the office. I love a piece that can perform double duty! Smoky Rose is my new favorite color from Athleta. It's brown with purple undertones. It's slightly more brown than what the photos show. This wrap is great for fall and as usual the Nirvana fabric is super soft, although not as soft as my older ones. It's currently on sale for $66.75.
I was really curious to try their Forever Fleece line. I love a good matching set. I went with Pyrite since I'm still exploring my neutrals only phase in my wardrobe. Pyrite reminds me of chocolate hazelnut color. It's beautiful. If I weren't on a neutrals only kick, I would have defaulted to Iris, such a beautiful deep purple.
The Forever Fleece Full Zip Sweatshirt fits true to size. I'm wearing my usual Petite XS. I love the thickness of the hoodie and the fleece is soft and cozy. I love the sleeve length, it's perfect, not too long at all. I was shocked when I put this on.
This would be great piece for fall, but I have two issues with this hoodie. The length feels slightly too cropped. I think because the hood is so big and heavy, it falls back and pulls the front of the sweatshirt up. I found myself tugging at the length to pull it back down. The second gripe is the pockets! While I appreciate pockets, I also want usable pockets. These are very shallow that can barely fit my hand. On top of that they also sit up higher than I'd prefer. Unfortunately, I am sending this hoodie back.
This matching set reminds me of my Juicy Couture days back in the mid aughts. I still think Juicy made some of the best tracksuits. Okay, I admit I could have done without the velour material. But I loved the look! I probably have some embarrassing photos somewhere. 😆
Overall, the look is just a little too baggy for me. It feels a little sloppy. Way too much fabric.
Forever Fleece Mid Rise Jogger Pyrite Size PXXS
These joggers run HUGE! Not even large, they are gigantic. I sized down based on the reviews and I'm glad I did. Even so, they're still way too baggy in the legs. The length is also too long, they measure 26.5 inches. Lots of excess material all around. I also sent these back. I will say the joggers are ridiculously comfortable, but just not flattering on me.
That's it for me! Happy long weekend to my US and Canadian friends! Take it easy and don't work too hard. 😆

Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the review on the new Forever Fleece items! I was tempted to give them a try but looks like they won’t be too flattering on me. The hoodie is too cropped for my liking plus I like hoods with two seams like the LLL ones. The pants are too baggy and I’ll be swimming in it lol.
Pranayama Restore Wrap in Smoky Rose is pretty but I wish it was more purple than brown. Still a gorgeous piece and I love that it’s buttery soft.
My wallet is not safe with so many nice fall items coming out at Athleta. :D

Hi Andrea! Yeah I am starting to get worried that Athleta is making their petite sizing bigger than usual because of the oversized trend and we'll be sized out.
DeleteI have more Athleta coming! Wallet definitely not safe. lol.
I am a fellow petite like you I always searching athleta gilrs xl wrap cardigan(14 yos) on ebay they are super soft and fit is superb for me I am 5' 1 weigh 110
ReplyDeleteHi there! I haven't checked out Athleta girls in a while. The Athleta store closest to me is closed due to renovations. But I'll def take another look when they reopen.
DeleteI love the color way of the beige AllBirds! The set is cute but not as cute as it could be! A little frumpy I agree -Janessa
ReplyDeleteThanks Janessa, agreed a bit too sloppy. Rugged Beige is such a great neutral color. I love it.
