Bought the strata skirt in the cherrywood color, and that corduroy skirt posted above in black. Yay! Thanks, OP!

Thanks OP and PPs for all the recs! I got the cowlneck and the Bettona skirt/legging combo. To make the deal even sweeter I redeemed some Discover cashback to buy Athleta GCs at a 10% discount and paid with those, and earned 10% Discover cashback on the purchase (similar to ebates). Woop woop!
Thanks! I had some rewards, so I got a couple skirts for only $21 total.
Thanks! Got the exhalation hoodie, Sochi sweater dress, and the batwing and robin cowl neck sweater!

Thank you OP, this was an unexpected shopping spree! I got 2 strata skirt to try, two sochi sweater dresses and a few wool ankle tights... my wallet is not happy right now, but I don't expect everything to work and return a few things.
Darn you ladies! I had to place another order with two Strata skirts to try! ;-)
Thank you! Just got about $30 back on my last order (which hasn't even arrived yet). I looked through but nothing else tempted me enough to place another order. I do already have a strata skirt from a few years ago. It is cute and has held up well. I do usually wear a slip with it when I wear tights. Hope you all love yours!

Just bought a whole bunch of stuff. Including the Stata skirt to try since so many of you like it!
I also 're-bought' my favorite swimsuit from last summer - it feels cheeky, but I will return it with the old receipt since I paid a LOT more last summer!
For those who own the Strata, what do you think about the fit? I bought one in store when it was on sale (but not this marked down), and I am going to reorder or try to get a price adjustment. I went with the medium on this one even though I often buy small because I didn't want cling in the rear area. But I am a little worried that if I lose my holiday/winter 5 pounds that it might end up being too loose later. I'm typically a 4 or 6 on bottom with Athleta (4 fits snug, 6 more loose). Wondering what other people think of the sizing on this item.
Also, can anyone comment on the fit of the Bettona Classic and Jegging style pants? I received both of these in size small as a gift, and while they fit, they are pretty snug in the rear and thighs. I have the Boyfriend style in small and it is definitely a looser (but not too big) fit and comfy. My favorite pair of pants. Could wear them every day. I am wondering it I should size up to M in the Classic style to have a looser fit. Or is it supposed to be very body-hugging in the rear/thighs? Same question with the jegging. Ugh. I feel like I am between small and medium right now. Darn holiday parties. :-)

I'm a (vanity) 2/4 and wear xs or s in athleta or a 2 or 4 there. I bought the strata in a small and a small petite. I liked the small petite fit on me (usually I find the petite too short in a lot of the athleta skirts and skorts). I tend to carry any weight in my tummy and am more apple-y than pear. I don't have a particularly curvy bum. I did not try the xs for comparison, but was happy w/ the fit on the small.
