| - Review #1400!
Friendly ladies wearing the well-made stylish & fun fitness/ athleisure wear brand clothing, greeted us, & checked in on us several times, on our most recent visit (and let us know about some other items that might be of interest to me) (*I guess it is the most visible here*, the advertising/ showcasing, but I like it, because then you get to see it on other people, to compare- it's easier to see it person vs. on the website). We were at DT this past saturday; I had intended to use some of my b-day gift $ on something I really wanted (it has to be something I love). I visit the user-friendly site quite often and I am currently a VIP member (select your monthly outfit @ $49.95 or higher, by the 6th or you can opt to skip it).
I had my eye on the sage coat (it doesn't feel heavy like a coat, it feels more like a cozy and warm sweater, an excellent layering piece, making it an essential, for me. I tried on the Small but it looked and felt a little big. I tried the X-Small and was pleasantly surprised. (I am slimmer on the bottom and bigger on the top; a reverse triangle, I usually wear a size Small in this brand, but usually, I am a Medium or size 8 in other brands.) It is comfortable. The color to be looks to be more of grey/brown, almost, but not quite a greige shade. I love the color grey and brown is my 2nd favorite neutral color to wear. Last weekend, everything was 30% off and if your purchase was over $99, you got a free pair of leggings (Great Promos). I'm glad that I got this piece on sale and was able to get the right size.
The store is small to medium, but not all the styles you see on the website are available in the stores (I am on the website quite often, it's user-friendly, BTW). It is nice to try on some of the pieces, though if you are unsure about the brand's sizing. I also like the option of Short for the inseam, on the bottoms. The layout of the store is good, as everything is nicely hung up on the racks neatly, nothing is out of place, and the racks are not jam-packed (something I don't like). I didn't go to the dressing room as I just tried on a couple jackets and was able to use the mirror as directed by a clerk. There were other customers but it wasn't crowded or uncomfortable. Overall the store is clean and free of debris.
I love the fresh new styles and the fabrics that the brand uses is pretty comfortable. (For more details, I've reviewed the pieces on the site.) From jackets, pullovers, long-sleeves, tees, tanks, to shorts, dresses, capris, leggings, joggers, and sports bras, too, the brand has many offerings. Some styles are seamless. Other accessories are also sold by the brand. I think that this is the most affordable athleisure brand, as compared to Athleta (the same company owns Banana Republic/ Gap/ Old Navy), as you can get two pieces here for about the same price as a single pair of Athleta leggings.
Checkout was fast & easy. She asked me if I was a VIP member, so I gave her my email address and my card was slid through her hand scanner (or was it a phone?). Cute reusable tote bag too.
