Happy Friday! It's my birthday (6th) so this will be short and sweet. I am planning a birthday post and will combine it with some money talk if you're curious about how much I ended up spending last month on my No Buy January challenge. It was very eye opening!
Today's post we have a store try-on fit review at Lululemon. There's a lot more of these posts coming!
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 in Lululemon.
Stretch Spacer High Rise Pant Espresso Size Small
Apologies for the photos. It was very challenging trying to work with low lighting and dirty mirrors. 😆 This was a fit request from someone, sorry I can't remember who it was at the moment. I was super surprised at the length of these pants. They're supposed to be 7/8 length which to my best guess the inseam is probably around 26 inches or 26.5 inches. They are perfectly petite friendly with my Allbirds. I also really like the seams going down the pant leg, it's flattering and helps elongate my short inseam.
I'm wearing size small which equivalent to a size 4/6. They are high rise, and they do cover my belly button. Also these are very slim fit and fairly tight with only a little bit of stretch.
Next up, we have the Sleek City Jacket. I keep trying this jacket on and go back and forth between size 4 and 6. I think size 4 is more flattering but the 6 is more comfortable. Also the sleeves are ridiculously long.
Sleek City Jacket Black Size 6
It looks super cute in Bone, but I'm also liking Blue Oasis as well. I may pull the trigger if they go on markdown and get the sleeves hemmed. Does anyone have this jacket and would like to share their experience and if you would recommend it?
It's a really great length in the back for petites. That is it for me, let me know in the comments below if there's a fit review you would like to see and I'll try and make it happen! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Happy birthday, Leslie! Did you go to a special restaurant to celebrate this year? I look forward to reading your birthday and money post!
ReplyDeleteBoth the Stretch Spacer pants and Sleek City jacket look good on you! These days, I'm all about comfort. I like the dressier look of the Stretch Spacer pants, but if the waistband is tight and isn't very stretchy, I'll have to pass. Thanks for the fit review!
Hi Karen! Thank you for the birthday wishes, and yes we went to a Michelin star restaurant. I'll have lots of pictures for you. =)
DeleteYes sadly the Stretch Spacer pants aren't very stretchy in the waist. =(
Happy birthday, Leslie! I hope you had a fun day!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the fit review of the Stretch Spacer pants! I'm very intrigued by them, but I'd like to see if they release some more colors before I commit to possibly getting a pair.
The Sleek City Jacket is such a cool style, but what is up with that sleeve length? Lulu really needs to offer petite sizing!
Thanks Lola! It was a nice relaxing day. Yeah those sleeves are ridiculous!! I have never had sleeves hemmed from Lulu. I wonder if they even offer it?
DeleteHappy birthday! Good food is definitely a great way to spend a birthday 🥳
ReplyDeleteThat jacket is nice, but other than the ridiculous sleeves, not sure if it’s too cropped? As I get older, I feel like keeping the cold out with longer lengths is preferable 😅
Thanks AC! True, it's borderline. Great length if it's not too windy. I guess maybe for 50 degree weather?
DeleteHappy Birthday, Leslie! I hope you had a wonderful day with your loved ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great review. The Sleek City Jacket looks really cool but seeing it in person at a store, I knew it would be too short for my liking and didn’t even bother to try it on. :(
I personally am not fond of cropped tops and usually opt to go one size up. However, it doesn’t work for all styles.

Hi Andrea! Thank you so much, I'll be celebrating through the weekend. =)
DeleteYes, I suppose it's probably better I pass on it since I can't decide on the sizing. It does look really sleek though haha.
Happy birthday Leslie! Hope you took the day off work and got to do all your favorite things! Have a great birthday weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jean L! I did take the day off from work. I always do that no matter what. Going to the office on your birthday just sucks the soul right outta me. LOL.
DeleteHappy birthday Leslie!! I hope you have the most wonderful day :D!! I love all your fit reviews and think the pants are very flattering!
ReplyDeleteI should find out how much sleeve hemming is cause that would be amazing for so many lulu jackets
-Janessa
Hi Janessa! I should check with the stores first to see if they offer complimentary sleeve hemming. I would think for a basic sleeve, they could do it...
Deletehi! didn't you purchase the lululemon sleek city jacket last year: https://www.petiteimpact.com/2023/12/fit-review-friday-my-lululemon-black.html?
DeleteI did! And then I returned it last minute because it was Bone - wasn't sure if I could keep it clean and it was a size 4 which kept me second guessing if I should size up because of it's too perfect fit. I couldn't layer underneath size 4. Since I keep waffling back and forth between size 4 and 6 means I should probably just skip this jacket and move on...
DeleteHope you had the best birthday, Leslie!
DeleteI like the jacket - love jackets! - but just don't need another one now.
Same LZ. I need to step away from it. There will be others.
DeleteAs a fellow shortie myself, I can't wait to purchase the City Sleek Jacket on sale but waiting for months now. When do you think they would go on sale?
ReplyDeleteHi there! I am not sure but I would guess pretty soon since spring is coming. I would check every Thursday morning.
