cute skirts or skorts along the lines of Title Nine?

| Now that I'm in my 40s I have slowly started to replace my shorts with cute skorts and flippy skirts from Title Nine. I'd like a few more items like this that I can wear on weekends - either light-weight skirts I can pair with fitted t's or skorts that are casual and flattering but not too short. I'm very small (5'1") and fit though not skinny. I wear a S in Title Nine. Does anyone have recommendations for where else I should be looking? Title Nine was new to me this year so I am sure there are other places like that, which I just don't know about yet. Thanks. |

I'll second athleta. I am living in their clothes this summer - especially in the heat wave. Because, we are still at the playground, ugh! |

OP here - thanks so much! Athleta is exactly what I was looking for - very cute skorts!
Does anyone know how the sizing runs? Thank you! |

| I'd say that Athleta sizing runs smaller/more fitted than the other Gap brands (Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic). So if you normally wear a size 2 in Old Navy shorts, try the size 4. I think they have free returns, so it might be worthwhile to get two and return the one that doesn't work for you. |

The reviews for each product are good about sizing. People give their measurements and discuss fit. Be sure to read them. Also there is now a store in Georgetown and Tyson's, I think. I know GT is there for sure. |

| Athleta opened a store in Reston recently. I think Tysons is opening very soon if it hasn't already. |

| The stores opening seems to have caused a rush in order for the online store because suddenly lots of sizes and colors are out of stock. It's amazing. I've never had this problem with them before. It's particularly bad with bathing suits and my favorite running shorts. |

SkirtSports. I like the longer Happy Girl model for general weekend running around.
