Weekends just go by way too fast. Two days feels like one. 😓 I think three day weekends should be the norm. Athleta's Friends & Family sale is still going on and they are now adding an extra 10% discount on top! There are some amazing deals to be had.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta's tops and bottoms. I also wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon.
Allure Shirt Jacket Cacti Size XXS
(on sale 30% off plus extra 10%)
I've been eyeing this shirt jacket (shacket) for a while now. I have a longer length version of this from last year but the shorter length would be more practical for warmer weather. I was debating between Bone or Cacti, I was actually leaning towards Bone, but Jared really wanted me to buy this in Cacti. How could I say no? 😊 This shacket is super comfortable and I love the way the fabric feels. It almost feels like a smooth sweatshirt material, similar to Seasoft and Softstreme, except it feels plushy and not brushed.
It's casual enough for me to wear on the weekends with jeans and shorts but I could also pull this off with a pair of pants for the office. That's what I really love about Athleta, their clothes can often pull double duty.
This shacket does come in petite sizing, but I really like the length in the XXS. The sleeves are a tad long, but I fear that it would be too cropped if I got it in petite.
Next up, I wanted to replace some of my tanks that were starting to look a little worn out and I have one of these tanks in Navy from last season and it's been a staple for warmer weather. I'm wearing size small, but if you prefer a more fitted look, get your usual size. Note that it is slightly sheer.
Getaway Linen Blend Muscle Tank Abalone Gray Size Small
(on sale $27 plus extra 10% off!)
The store didn't have size XS so I ended up placing an order online. I'll have an updated fit review coming up when I get it. That's it for me! I hope you all have a wonderful start to a brand new week.

And if you have three minutes to spare, I have an unboxing to share!
The hip length hits perfect for you! If only the sleeves would cooperate too 😆
ReplyDeleteHi AC! Agree, but I'm used to folding sleeves up by now. It's manageable!
DeleteI agree with your hubby - the Cacti color is lovely in that shacket! Too bad
ReplyDeletethe sleeves are too long, but I bet it looks kind of cool with the sleeves cuffed up.
I was intrigued by those linen tanks. How does the fabric feel? Is it a little rough? I quite like the Pink Sand color, but it looks really sheer in the photos.....
Hi Lola! Good question, it has some texture to it, but it's actually pretty soft. I don't think it feels rough at all. I think some colors are probably going to be more sheer than others. But Pink Sand is really cute.
DeleteThanks for sharing your outfit, would it be weird if you unbotton the shacket sleeve and roll it up to a length you liked? I don't have too many shackets, but the ones I like are cozy and not bulky.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I haven't tried rolling up the sleeves yet, but I think it could probably work!
