Review: Athleta "Whatever" skort

[zoom-zoom]

I really want this in asphalt. I may have to reward myself once I get into the 130s.

The asphalt in person is a bit darker than in the catalog. IMHO. The waistband is lined with the lavender fabric, which seems a bit lighter than in the catalog to me.

My boysenberry is s'posed to be here next week. Yay!

And when those puppies go on clearance this fall, I'll be all over EVERY color!

Kirsten - you may want to rethink this skort. I tried it - the shorts are way too small for my thighs when the waist of the skort was still too big for my waist. It hung horribly on me (bunched up above my rear, below my waist). I really, really wanted to love it, but I just couldn't. Returned it.

Awww...poo. If it didn't fit you, then it almost certainly won't fit me.

I bought this - based on the glowing recommendations. They're adorable - can't wait to start wearing them.

I'm 5'4" and I couldn't decide between the petite and regular. So, I've got the Khaki in regular and asphalt in petite. I also bought the "dolphin", but the color is too similar to the khaki, so it's going back. As mentioned, the difference in the hems is about 1.5". The regular hits just above my knee - I'm kinda short-legged for a woman. The asphalt is a really dark gray. I wish there were pockets too - I don't carry a purse - just need a pocket for my Jimi wallet, phone and keys. Might have to sew a little purse onto it!

Oh - the shorts underneath are snug - not tight. I have a typical cyclist body with thighs probably a size larger than my waist. I wouldn't want to show off the shorts, but for an occasional wind gust, they're fine. They don't bunch up in the back, but I could see how that's possible with the fitted waist line.

That's my gal. Doing it for the economy

Yeah, that's why I bought TWO of them. Shoot - even debating keeping the Dolphin (very light beige) one --- do I need three????

For some reason this thread cracks me up! I have that skirt in the blue print. Love it.

I've fallen in LOVE with skorts this year as well! However, my budget being the tight way that it is, I have to buy the cheapies. Target had one from Champion, and I'm really enjoying it. It's a bit short...well, okay, it's REALLY short!! haha! But, since cycling has given me kick-a** legs, I just show 'em off. The little shorts underneath are tight on my thighs as I, too, am gaining the cyclist's body of smaller waist and chunky thighs. But I am loving that, too!! haha!

Here's the link to the Champion.
