Happy Friday! I stopped by Athleta last weekend for some try-ons. Does anyone one know when Athleta holiday sales are going to start? Because I really love the Ottoman Rib 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt. It looks very much like Varley's Catherine 1/2 Zip sweatshirt which I love but not the price. If I can get a 30% off code for Athleta, it would be so worth it!
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta and size 4/6 in Lululemon.
This sweatshirt is super cozy. I'm wearing size XXS and love how it fits. It is oversized but still flattering. I kind of wish it had pockets on the sides because the length is long enough that I think pockets would have been perfect. However, it does look really sleek without the pockets.
Absolutely love the oversized collar. I am really into this at the moment!
My first choice is Truffle. Bone and Featherstone gray are tied for second choice in this sweatshirt. The wide knit fabric feels soft and plushy. It's super comfortable. Athleta really hit it out of the park with this one! Price is $138.
Next up we have In The Clouds Sweatshirt also in Truffle. I'm wearing size XS and I wish the length was just a little longer. It hits right at the top part of my hips. I would say this sweatshirt runs a little small. If I were to purchase I would probably get a small just for the longer length.
In The Clouds Sweatshirt Truffle Size XS
The fleece feels plushy and soft but not super soft.
The waistband does not have a lot of give. It's fairly tight. I also like that there's no hood. That means you could easily layer with a vest.
This is also available in Pine and Sahara. I think Truffle looks the best out of the three choices. I left both items behind but will purchase the Ottoman Rib 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt as soon as I get a coupon code!
That's it for me! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

I love that brown sweater on you! I love the giant neckline and the color it is perfect for the holiday season! I can’t believe how much LLL costs these days I don’t even bother with looking at drops anymore and just check your page! I haven’t commented on every post but I’ve been reading them. Happy weekend -Janessa
ReplyDeleteHi Janessa! Happy to see you're still around. 😊Yes, the price increases are getting too high for me to justify buying as much as I used to. Better for my wallet at least. That's one positive spin on it.
DeleteThanks for another great fit review, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteI was eyeing these two sweaters but not loving the prices. I consider them expensive even with a 40% discount. My wallet is safe with the recent price increases at LLL and Athleta, and so glad I’ve got some really nice items from them when prices were affordable.

Hi Andrea! I know what you mean. I used to sometimes buy from Athleta when it was full priced back in the day, but now I have to wait for a sale. I hear they are having a sale for the card members starting this Friday. I am hoping it's going to be at least 30% off, even then the top I want is still $100 or so. Which I think is a fair price for it. I have some rewards as well that I can apply on top of it. It's worth it to me to get the card. You get way better deals.
