    Yeah, I like the Dipper skort better than the whatever skort for just hanging around the yard and running errands. I like the fit, the length, and the fabric better.

    Got the catalog in the mail today. Boy was I glad that I went to body pump and did some time on the elliptical machine this morning...I find their models both inspiring and a little intimidating.

    The item in the catalog I most wanted...the Kokomo dress...was out of stock in my size in every color (if only I were taller and didn't need a petite).

    I am thinking I would like to try out their bra sized swimsuits...even though my abs don't remotely resemble the models'

    Or maybe I should go with a tankini (I wouldn't have to do quite as many sit-ups ahead of time)

    I like this...although I'm not sure I'm up to the price

    Last year's colors are on sale...but alas, not available in petite

    I love this, but the reviews all say it runs tight in the chest (even for a B cup), so I'm thinking it's a no go

    I do agree that their clothes run small in the bust (or can be very low cut, requiring a cami or sports bra underneath) and can be clingy.

    I have a couple of skirts and 1 dress from Athleta. I like them. I am not skinny either. A size 10 usually. And a 38C top. I would never try a bra-top from them based on looking at the models. But I have a hoodie sweater dress size L that is nice. And also a stretchy knit pencil type skirt that I got last year that is very comfy and nice. Plus a velvet skirt. All are good!

    Athleta swimsuits ROCK. I have two of their sets with swim shorts (Oceanside shorts) and I absolutely LOVE them. Great mommy beach wear for more coverage when you're running after kiddos. I like the halter style bikini tops to wear with the shorts.

    I love their dresses; the fit works really well for me. This Waikiki skirt looks really cute and comfy. I had the Sidekick dress last year and looooved it (wore it as a tunic with short leggings because it's never quite warm enough for summer dresses here). This hoodie dress from last year is one of my favorite dresses ever - on sale for just $29.99! I wear it with leggings as a dress but I guess it could also be a cover up. Really nursing friendly too!

    I love my string bikinis but I think I want something that is going to stay in place a bit better for certain occasions. So maybe this? http://athleta.gap.com/browse/produc...scid=225370022

    What again? No love for the Athleta skort that *everyone* was raving about last year and I went and bought 2 of?
    “Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

    I think no one mentioned it because OPer said she already has it. . Although I will note that *I* did not rave about it as I don't love the material.
