Fit Review! Lululemon Cortes Cropped T-Shirt Shadow Stripe and Lightweight High Rise Relaxed Short 3 inch Long Liner
I can't believe it's already the end of August. The last days of summer are among us. This will likely be my last summery fit review for a while! After this it'll all be fall clothes, which is my favorite kind of clothes. Bring on all the cozy sweaters and cardigans. I'm even looking forward to wearing jeans again!
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.
This lightweight cropped tee is perfect if you live in the south. It is on the thinner side and slightly sheer. I tried matching the bralette to the tee to blend in as much as possible and it's not too bad. What I love most are the sleeves. They're longer than usual for a t-shirt but I actually appreciate the extra coverage from the sun. The length of this tee hits at the waist and reminds me of the Cates Tee in terms of fit.
I'm wearing my usual size 4 and it fits true to size. It is slightly boxy, but still flattering on my petite frame. I will probably get another month, maybe two if the summer sticks around to wear these tees. They are currently on sale for $39 which saves $19 off retail. I'm glad I managed to snag these two colors.
I've been trying to find a new pair of shorts from Lululemon since Hotty Hots have been very hit or miss with the sizing lately. What I really love about these shorts are the POCKETS! Which explains the high price. These retail for $78. Ouch. 😫 Hotty Hots are $68 but no pockets. The waistband is stretchy and comfortable. There is a drawstring if needed.
I'm wearing size 4 and I do think they're mostly true to size. I say that because the front looks great and the liner is perfect, BUT I did notice that the back has some extra fabric, it's not terrible but it's there. I wore these for a HIIT workout and I have zero complaints. I do plan on using these on a run and hope the slightly longer length doesn't irritate me. I'll keep you all posted!
I guess I need to grow my butt out. I am eyeing another color in these shorts, but hoping to catch them on WMTM. I don't usually like green, but I kinda dig this soft green shade in Gray Eucalyptus . There is a pair on WMTM in Ideal Mint. I'm tempted but I think it's a little too light for me.
That's it for me! Hope you all have a wonderful start to the last week of August!

I actually don’t mind the fabric as it looks more like a skort and very pretty/swishy. What I don’t really like is the white stripe running down the sides, not sure why but it gives a meh vibe to me.
ReplyDeleteI did stop by LLL and checked out that jacket from the previous post. The fabric was a lot more crinkly in person than the photos so I passed. But now I my eye on a mixed media jacket which I will probably get 😬
Hi AC! I can see that, it's def has the gym/sporty look. I don't mind it though. But it has pockets! =D
DeleteOh the Always Effortless Jacket? It is a little crinkly, it doesn't bother me though. I liked it in the original style.
Oooo I’ve been very curious about these shorts! Thank you so much for your fit review it is super helpful!

Hi Janessa! You're welcome. If they pass the run test, I may grab another pair.
DeleteOh I'm happy you liked the shorts! I thought you might. I have them in Ideal Mint and am waiting for the rest to go on sale. They are a new fav for me since I have fallen out of love with Track Thats and Hotty Hots - and since there are rarely new Fast & Free colors/stock.
ReplyDeleteHi LZ! Yes, thanks for the recommendation! I def would like another pair. I will keep the Hotty Hots that I own, but won't be buying anymore.
DeleteThose shorts are cute. The inseam looks longer than 3 inches to me (which I like). The price is very off-putting, however. In Canada they're $88!
ReplyDeleteI was considering one of those tops too. They look pretty comfy. I wish they had some more colors available.
Hi Lola! Agree, $78 here was a bit hard to swallow. That said, Hotty Hots have been $68 for a while now, so I almost feel like $78 isn't awful, even tho it really is! Don't think I can stomach another pair for full price, but will happily get another on WMTM!
