Happy Friday! Would you guys be interested in seeing updates on my move? I don't know if that would be interesting or not. We're currently getting some rooms repainted. I'm hoping that will be completed by early next week. I'm going to keep up with my regular scheduled posts with some in-store try-ons. I have a decent backlog of bags I need to review. 😅 For today's fit review, I'm covering a couple of Athleta tops.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon tops.
(On sale 40% off!)
I'm a big fan of the waffle trend and love the feel of the fabric. It's the only textured fabric that I find super soft. It also has a really nice drape and it's not heavy at all. Athleta really hit it out of the park with their waffle collection this year. I have three pairs of their Tranquil Waffle Joggers. Absolutely love them. This Tranquil Waffle 1/2 Zip Sweatshirt isn't as cropped as the Tranquil Waffle Hoodie. I'm wearing size XS and the length hits at the hip on me. The sleeves are a tad long, but the cuff helps keep it at the right length. It's super comfortable and currently on sale at 40% off.
I already own the Ottoman Rib 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt in Chocolate Brown Heather and I love it. Bone also looks amazing as well. Really debating if I need it in another color. (The answer is obviously no, but I still want it.) 😂
Ottoman Rib 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt Bone Size XXS
(On sale 30% off!)
I'm wearing size XXS and it's still fairly roomy. I would suggest sizing down if you want a slimmer fit.
This is a really nice alternative version from Varley's Catherine Half Zip sweatshirt. At the sale price, this is such a good deal. The length offers maximum coverage of your assets, as Athleta likes to say. Sometimes I wish it had kangaroo pockets. I'm just used to having pockets from wearing hoodies.
Love the oversized collar.
Overall, Athleta wins with this 1/4 zip sweatshirt. It's not fleecy on the inside, but I still find it very cozy. That's all for me today! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. 😊

Oh the coaster luxe joggers look great!
ReplyDeleteI went into the LLL store today and wow the logos on the team Canada jacket sure looks cheap. For $400 CAD stitched emblems would sort of be expected 🤷♀️
Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI’m not a fan of waffle knits and the only waffle knit items I own are two Waffle-Knit Funnel-Neck Long-Sleeve Shirts from LLL. Got them a couple years ago at WMTM and while they are not as soft as I wish, I love the cinchable turtleneck and how warm they are. LLL just released the same style in Black Plum and Light Ivory which I might get if they ever make it to WMTM.
I keep thinking about Athleta’s Ottoman Rib 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt and wish Featherstone and Twilight were available on the Canadian site. We only have Truffle, Bone and Elm to choose from. :(
I’m excited about your move and please share updates!
