Happy Friday! Another store try-on for you! My Lululemon order finally arrived and I will take photos this weekend and have the post up for you next Friday. It's all about Twilight Rose!
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 in Lululemon.
Longer length in the back.
I am a fan of Lululemon's Reversible Crossover Sweater. I have one from last year that I love wearing. So I was very excited to try it on in Warm Beige. Warm Beige reminds me of Twilight Rose but with a hint of brown undertone. It's very pretty. This sweater is reversible, and I prefer wearing it with the crossover hem in the front. It hits right at the belly button in the front and a little longer in the back.
The next set of photos show the longer length in the front and the crossover hem in the back. Which way do you prefer?
The length hits at the hip for me, and both ways feel very comfortable. The sleeves are a bit poofy at the wrists, but with the cuff, they do not feel too long. I'm wearing size XS. I would say it fits similar to size 4/6.
The crossover hem at the back hits at the waist and I do like how the curved hem runs along the hip line. The fabric feels more knitted than previous versions. The ribbing also feels more substantial and thicker. Otherwise, the fit is the similar.
Next up, we have Another Mile Vest in Twilight Rose. The vest looked really good on the mannequin, so I had to give it a try. I'm wearing size 6.
The photos under the fitting room lighting does not do this color justice. The color in real life looks so much prettier. Even the stock photos on the website make this vest look drab. But in real life the pink/rose has such a nice sheen to it. It's gorgeous in person.
This vest is quite fitted which is why I sized up to a 6. It allows me to layer a thin sweater underneath. The length is on the longer side. It hits the top of my thigh in the front and has full coverage in the back. I don't usually wear vests, but I think I like this style vest over the Wunder Puff Cropped Vest. I find it easier to move around in. When I wear the Wunder Puff Vest I feel like the tabs on the sides of my neck get in the way.
Here are some photos of the vest zipped up. The armholes could be a little bigger. I would love to be able to wear a thicker pullover underneath. I also really like the reflective details. I know this is meant for running, but it would also be great for night time walking.
It even looks cute with the hood up. The dickie on the inside is removable. I don't mind the double layered look, I think it works.
Here are some other bag offerings at the store.
(Deep Luxe is really pretty in person but the fabric does look slightly shiny.)
Quilted Grid Tote 12L in Gray Eucalyptus and Black Two Tone Canvas Tote Bag 10L Mojave Tan/Light Ivory |
(The fleece does feel very soft.)
Inside is pretty small, what would you keep in here?
(I actually really liked this, may get it in another color. It was practical, and a decent size all considering.)
That's it for me! What did you think of the sweater and vest? There didn't seem like much of a WMTM update and probably won't be any markdowns until Black Friday. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I like the cross over hem of this sweater, is it itchy in any way? I like the way that the hem is in the front too and would probably wear it that way most.
ReplyDeleteThe vest feels too long for my tastes.
Hi AC! It is not itchy at all, very soft. Agree, the vest is a tad long, but it's because I sized up I'm sure.
DeleteI have the Reversible Crossover Sweater in White Opal from WMTM last year. It still has the tags on, and I haven't worn it yet - but love it. It just hasn't been cold enough yet. I have a long torso, so I prefer the cross in the back. :) Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi LZ! Really? The White Opal is the one I have and I've worn it a bunch of times.
DeleteI really like the crossover sweater. Looks great on you. I may look into it for myself.
ReplyDeleteI got the 26l quilted tote bag in the medium forest color to be my personal item for an upcoming trip. I think a zip up tote bag is essential for travel.
I got that all wrong! It’s actually the 12 liter tote in gray eucalyptus. Maybe I should have bought the bigger one but I don’t think that was available when I bought mine.
DeleteHi there, the 26 has to be huge. I don't think I've seen that in person yet at the stores, but agree a tote is great for traveling.
DeleteThe Reversible Crossover Sweater is so cute and Warm Beige is such a gorgeous neutral color! I’m tempted to give it a try but looks like it will be a tad short on me. :(
ReplyDeleteMy order arrived and I’m on the fence about the Scuba Plush in Heathered Twilight Rose. The material is soft and luxurious, and I really love the color. However, size 2 fits a bit tight and 4 is too roomy. I might end up returning both.
I have two Clippable Nano Pouches and they are super cute! Got them as birthday presents and I never thought I would love them so much. They look small but is big enough for a lip balm, Air Pods, keys, credit cards and some cash. I’m seriously thinking of getting an Everywhere Belt Bag Nano cos it’s super cute!

Hi Andrea! I get it. Mine arrived as well. The 4 is pretty good, but the shoulders are a little off. I may keep it anyway? I'm debating. I think it'll depend if I like how it looks in the photos. haha!
DeleteOh really! I may have to look into it a little more. I think they look cute as bag charms. =)
The cross-over sweater pairs really well with the hooded vest! Definitely a cute outfit on you and that you should keep. I like the cross-over in the front, more modern look. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Jean L! Thanks so much! I do love the vest a lot. It's just so comfy.
DeleteThe nano bags are so cute! I think the sweater is cute and the vest looks super pretty. I have to go in store and check out the color! I am waiting on BF for any more LLL pieces for now...
