Review: Athleta "Whatever" skort

[zoom-zoom]

I've been really happy with Athleta stuff. I recently bought the best-fitting bathing suit, ever. The bottoms are shorts with shirred sides and a sort of hipster-fit liner and the top actually supports my 34D bust. I got it right before we spent a weekend at a waterpark with the kiddo. I never felt like my boobs were going to fall out and I was all over the water slides.

I also have a cute black dress that I bought for my hubby's 20 year reunion. One of those perfect pieces for packing and machine washing and drying.

I've been really happy with Athleta stuff.

Me, too. I love that they have talls. Even the running skirts (which are short anyway) come in talls. It's delicious.

I love Athleta. Almost everything fits me. They keep making more and more stuff in petite.

Hey Knot, what is your inseam? A lot of skirts are a little too short on me. But I'm only 5'7''. Maybe I should try a tall.

I'm 5'8 with about a 33-34 inch inseam, and I get talls every chance I can. The difference in skirts is only an inch or two, but the fit is so much better! (even in Athleta's short little CYA running skirt, the tall size really makes the fit)

Somewhere I read that the average women's size is based on a 5'4" model, so if you are 5'5" or more it could be worth taking a peek at talls.

I have this skort in black (petite) and love it! It is relatively long, which I like alot. I even wore it hiking - the fabric is so light and stretchy, I barely noticed it! I get compliments on it too, which is nice. tokie oh, it works great on the bike! And nobody ever would guess that it's a skort.

I just ordered another one: Boysenberry. (the dark plum)

Cannot get over how much I love this skort, even though it doesn't have pockets worthy of the name. (C'mon, Athleta, how hard would it be to put a little zipped wallet pocket on one thigh of the liner short?)

Looks good with bare legs, looks good with tights, looks good with lace-edged leggings. Boots, flip-flop, Chacos, clogs, penny loafers, maryjanes.

You can run, walk, ride, sit, squat, exercise, and lounge without the skirt catching you up. Kinda like a woman's UtiliKilt. ...but without decent pockets.
