Petite Impact

  I'm back with another Athleta review! I went to return the hoodie and jacket from my last review and ended up making a purchase at the store. 😊 For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta. I also wear size XS/S and 4/6 in Lululemon. Midday Cropped Poplin Shirt Nocturnal Size XXS (Currently on sale!) Nocturnal is such a great fall color and I really love how it looks on me. I've been looking for more pieces in Nocturnal to add to my closet. I spotted the Midday Cropped Poplin and there was only one size left in XXS so I grabbed it to try-on. This isn't my first Midday Cropped Poplin top. I have one in white and another in blue stripes from last year. The XXS is very petite friendly. It's the perfect length on my frame. This went home with me. I can't wait to pair this with my Frank & Eileen Belfast Trench in Camel . It's going to be such a great fall outfit!  Next I tried on the Seasoft Full Zip in Nocturnal. I'...

  Happy Friday! I'm loving Athleta's new fall shade Nocturnal. It's such a pretty purple with reddish brown undertones. I placed an order for the Allure Long Jacket and Forever Fleece Classic Zip which has an updated fit.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS or XS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 or XS/S in Lululemon. Allure Long Jacket Nocturnal Size PXS I love the feel of the fabric. It's super soft and medium weight. It's not a heavy jacket. It would make a great transition piece. I'm wearing size petite XS and the sleeves are still slightly too long for me and I have them cuffed.  I think it looks best left open. There's a bit too much fabric on my frame when I have it belted. Kind of looks like a robe on me.  One thing I wasn't a fan of is how the back of the jacket looks. I think it would have been slightly more flattering if they added a vent in the back. The belt is not removable which is a deal breaker for me...

 Athleta has some cute items from their Form Knit line that looks very nice. I'll check my Athleta store to see if they have any of it to try-on. Also interested in the Barrel Leg pant from Lululemon since they have a short length, finally! Also excited for the Fount Cherry drop coming Friday. Did anything catch your eye this week?  Hold Tight Hooded Half Zip Heathered Toasted Pink Easy Five Low Rise Barrel Leg Pant Short Sand Dollar (These look good for barrel pants, the barrel leg isn't overly accented.) Featherweight Cropped Quilted Puffer Black Restfeel Faux Fur Slide Blush Petal New From Athleta Form Knit Seamed Full Zip Black (I like this, I think it has potential.) Form Knit Shawl Collar Sweatshirt Nocturnal (I love this color and the collar elevates this sweatshirt.) Form Knit Bomber Sweatshirt Gray Heather Endless Blazer Nocturnal (Comes in petite!) New From Vuori Restore Oversized Hoodie Velvet Violet Fount Cherry Drop 9/18! Also available in Mini and Classic Sloane!...

Lately I've been browsing Alo since they recently opened a store near me. I've looked at their bags and clothing but nothing has piqued my interest enough to try until I spotted the Sunset sneaker. Low profile sneakers are somewhat trending at the moment. I like the retro look and I've been wanting to add a pair of low profile sneakers to my rotation.  For reference my shoe size is typically size 5.5.  The sales rep that helped me at the Alo store was fantastic. She was super fun and friendly to talk to. Turns out she just moved from New York and we started talking about the things we missed from New York like public transportation that actually took you somewhere, to being able to walk everywhere and of course the food! She was also wearing a pair of Sunset sneakers in black and I really liked how they looked on her.  ALO Sunset Sneaker Black Size 5.5 I'm wearing size 5.5 and they are true to size, but if you like wearing thick socks, I would definitely size up. So fa...
