I finally made it to the store to do some fit reviews since coming back from vacation. Yesterday didn't count since I didn't have time to go to the fitting room with an armload of items.
First up is the Yogini 5 Year Short Sleeve - TTS 10
This is the size 10 on me which I really liked. It is quite loose fitting and baggy but that is the style of this type of tee and I would not size down in it. It does require a tank underneath or a sports bra because the scoop is so low that it exposes a lot of bra. I will keep this tee in mind if it ever goes on markdown but I'm resisting it at full price since Aritzia has a very similar style which retails for either $32 or $34. My problem with the Aritzia version is that the side slight goes up so high you see skin.
Out of curiosity, I grabbed a size up Exhalation Pullover (left) to see if it fixes the hip issue and the pocket gap and unfortunately it did not for me. The hip area is definitely looser but it still snags there and creates the pocket gap. It doesn't help that the pockets are situated so high and are not angled at all.
I like it paired with Bali Breeze. Man I wish these were roll down.
The Sweater Life (tts, 10) was very tempting in Bordeaux. My only reason for leaving it behind is that dumb transition seam down the arm. it is tight, and my arms bulge out at the seam depending on how I move them. I can see this being a disaster of burst seams. That is tragic because I otherwise loved it and would have exchanged the Exhalation Pullover for this.
You can really see the arm bulge in this picture.
The winner for this round of Fit Reviews is once again the trusty CRB. I loved the West2East Inkwell CRB. Now to decide if I want the Bordeaux Drama version or the Inkwell Version.
Sigh. I am so sad about the Exhalation Pullover. I love the color combo on this (more than the Bordeaux Drama) and even don't mind the lack of thumb holes but I am so sad that it is not more a-lined like last years version. It sticks right at the hips but flares out at the waist where the pockets gap open. If I was built like a tube shape I wouldn't have minded but the biggest fail for this top is that the hem is disastrously proportioned to the rest of the pullover. I think last years was also softer, but I don't find this one not soft.
Pulled down lower on the hips it fits the pocket gap issue, but it looks snug.
West2East Bordeaux Drama Cool Racerback. I did a return today and saw the Inkwell version of this tank and felt pretty tempted to bring it home, but I like the Bordeaux Drama version slightly more. I find this version of a Bordeaux CRB so much nicer than last years Tonka Stripe or even the solid version that was spotted in a few places this year. The Heathered Bordeaux Drama parts of the stripe are very, very pretty! Keeper!
The Fuel Green Ebb To Street Tank is the item I ended up returning today. I loved the color so much and in this fabric it really looks like a saturated jewel tone but I don't wear this tank much for working out and I'm not sure how much I'll get to wear it casually so I returned it and possibly I'll repurchase but I hope we see Fuel Green in a CRB or other items.
When I popped into my store this afternoon to do my return of the Ebb To Street Tank and some other items, I saw the Heathered Blue Calm Racerback with one left in my size so I snatched it up. It is a very pretty heathered cloud blue with obvious heathered flecks of white. If my store had not had this one in I would have probably grabbed the West2East Inkwell CRB instead but the Heathered Blue Calm was too pretty to pass on. I also saw the Roll Down Cotton Bordeaux Drama WU's and they were so tempting because they are incredibly soft. Much softer than the other cotton Roll Down WU's I've felt. I just don't wear WU's casually and its not an item I could wear for workouts so I let reason prevail this time. I also saw the Bumble Berry Wunder Unders and the luon was really nice quality and the color was vibrant. Had they been Roll Down Wunder Under Crops I would have absolutely snatched them up but i've decided to try and only get the luon roll downs from now on since they are my absolute favourite for Crossfit.
