Fit Review Friday! Athleta Store Try On Essential Slub Tee and Retreat Linen Short Sleeve Shirt

  Happy Friday! Warm weather is starting to arrive and I've been looking for new linen pieces to add to my summer wardrobe. I have a few pieces from Athleta from last year and really love them. When I saw the  Retreat Linen Short Sleeve Shirt  I was very interested in trying it on.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta.  Essential Slub Tee Eden Size XS This  Essential Slub Tee  is very thin, and almost feels like linen but not quite. I'm wearing size XS and I think it has a very nice relaxed fit. Eden is definitely a teal color that will work with my wardrobe. I will probably pick this up after my No Buy Challenge is over.  The neck opening is very comfortable. The length hits at my lower hip, but doesn't feel too long. It's a great casual tee for summer. Can also use this for layering in the fall too.  Next up we have the  Retreat Linen Short Sleeve Shirt . I tried this on in XXS and XS to see ...

New Releases Week of March 25th 2025

I am happy to see Hawaiian Blue is back. I hope it's released in more styles. Would love to see a pair of Hawaiian Blue Hotty Hots. This is the last drop for March! Hard to believe a week from now it'll be April. The No Buy Challenge will be over. I'm definitely going to place a Vuori order. Maybe a Varley order. What about you? What are you going to get once the ban is lifted. Or will you see how long you can extend the challenge? 😅 Define Cropped Jacket Nulu Hawaiian Blue Lightweight Hem Cinch Bomber Jacket Heathered Lavender Lux Scuba Full Zip Hoodie True Navy/Gold Cinch Back Short Sleeve Shirt Club Blue Scuba Oversized Funnel Neck Half Zip Long Washed Denim/Gold Nulu Strappy Back Bra Lavender Lux Focuser Scoop Neck Bra Pink Haze Nulu Strappy Scoop Neck Bra Hawaiian Blue Wunder Train Strappy Racer Bra Hawaiian Blue Sculpt Cropped Tank Top Cinch Hawaiian Blue Swiftly Racerback Waist Length Hawaiian Blue Ebb To Street Tank Hawaiian Blue Align Short 6" Hawaiian Blue D...

Fit Review! Lululemon Swiftly High Low Cropped Short Sleeve Shirt, Shake It Out High Rise Running Short 2.5 Inch, Cates Tee

  Can't believe we're in the last week of March! How is your No Buy month coming along? I broke it once for Athleta's Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short . I ordered it in two colors, Black and Eden. They arrived on Friday and I'm happy to say the XS is the right size. I'm very happy pleased with them.  For today's post I went to Lululemon on two different days and I'm combining them in one post. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 and size XS/S in Lululemon. Swiftly High Low Cropped Short Sleeve Shirt Club Blue Size 4 Shake It Out High Rise Running Short 2.5" Red Glow Size Small I actually really like the Swiftly High Low Cropped Short Sleeve Shirt. My only complaint is the slightly small neck opening. I'm wearing my usual size 4 and I really like the fit and length. It's also super comfortable. I know some may not like the Lululemon logo front and center and I am one of them, but it's fairly subtle and not to...

Fit Review Friday! Athleta Seasoft Rib Crewneck, Seasoft Mid Rise Straight Crop, Midday Cropped Shirt

  Happy Friday! I went to get my annual check up and I received a pneumonia vaccine. It completely wiped me out afterwards. My blood pressure is also a bit low. Unsure why, waiting to hear back from the lab. The joys of getting older. 😆 Athleta's Friends and Family Event is still happening. 30% off everything. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon. Seasoft Rib Crewneck Sweatshirt Pyrite  Size XS Seasoft Mid Rise Straight Crop Pyrite  Size XS Allbirds Tree Glider Get 15% off with my code  PETITEIMPACT I reviewed these two items in the last Athleta post, but I took some more photos in case someone wanted to see how it looked as a matching set. I'm not sure I can pull it off? I think it looks better worn separately. What do you guys think? I feel like the color needs to be broken up with a vest or something.  Pyrite is a really nice neutral, it's like a light mocha brown. It can look darke...
