Fit Review Friday! Athleta Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short and Banana Republic Everyday Linen Shirt Plus Athleta 25% off Sale and up to 50% off Styles!
Happy May! I think this month I am going to focus on a closet clean out. I would like to free up some more space in my closet so I'll probably list some items up on Poshmark and donate the rest. It's starting to warm up in Atlanta. It's been 80-85 degrees or so now during the day which means it is time to wear linen pieces!
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta and XXS/PXS in Banana Republic.
(On sale 40% off $41.40!)
Also wearing Lululemon Ebb To Street Cropped Tank
Athleta linen shorts have been my go-to shorts for warm weather. They're super comfy and I am loving the color Eden. The color Eden is more blue than it is green. I'm wearing size XS here and they're a little roomy, but I prefer it that way. These are mid-rise and the waistband comes up to my belly button.
There are two zippered pockets at the front and a drawstring tie at the waist. The inseam measures 4 inches and they hit mid thigh. The linen is soft, super breathable and light weight. They're currently 40% off!
I really like wearing a linen button up over a tank top in the summer. It's lightweight and I will often use it as a cover up layer from the sun. Banana Republic has some really nice linen tops. I purchased some last year and they have held up beautifully. Linen does get wrinkly, so I have to steam these items after I wash them. They are machine washable - gentle cycle and I usually line dry or tumble dry low.
(on sale $79.99!)
I'm wearing size XXS here and it's a very nice fit. The Everyday Linen Shirt comes in 8 different colors, so if this one isn't for you, there's a lot of other choices to choose from. This top also comes in petite sizing, but the XXS fits nicely.
I think this linen top is super versatile. Casual enough to throw over a tank and I can also wear this to the office. Currently on sale for $79.99 and take another 20% off with code BRAFF!
I wouldn't mind getting a pair of their linen ankle pants. I have have to give these a try. Do you love to wear linen in the summer? Let me know in the comments below if you have a favorite linen item.
That it is for me! I am SO ready for the weekend, it's been a crazy work week. Definitely check out the Athleta sale. I'll post a few items I'm eyeing. Have a fantastic weekend!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Karen! I use this bag the most according to my Wear Tracker app. 😊
DeleteI was wondering, what shoe option goes with this linen outfit? White shoe?
ReplyDeleteHi AC! Yes a white shoe, or light colored tan would work well!
