It's hard to tell from the photo but I think the stitching is Navy. That is the contrast color on the Speed shorts so I think it would be the same on the crops.
So, in a 'I'm tired of LLL" slump, I ordered a couple pairs of the sonar crops from Athleta to try including the floral fade print ... but I think I might like this new inspire print better!
I have been contemplating ordering a Miss Misty Jacket 2... Does anyone have any fit reviews to share? I have more of a pear shape & am concerned that it will be to tight across the hips. My closest store is a couple hours away, so I really rely on reviews. Thanks SO much!! Love this blog!!
It does fit my iphone but it's kind of annoying since the zipper hits in the middle of the pocket, rather than at the top like the Inspires. I usually like to put my phone and ID in there during a race but I'd be hesitant to do that with these since everything would fall out when I opened it on the run. I have a post with lots of photos about the Sonars here: http://www.luluaddict.com/2015/02/ot-athletas-floral-fade-sonar-capri.html.
The other thing is that there is only one waist pocket and it's pretty small. You'd have to use a belt if you want to carry gel blocks during a race. I usually can jam all my gel blocks in the two front pockets of lulu run bottoms. However, they are silky and comfy and very pretty so I'd make the sacrifice of carrying a little belt.

Do those inspires have black or Navy stitching?

The Iridescent Multi Inspires look pretty similar to the Athleta Floral Fade earlier this spring (you had them posted on the blog).
@luvocoffee - Athleta has a new print in the Sonars called Hail Storm that has a lot of the same colors as Iridescent Multi. I ordered them yesterday.
How is the Sonar back pocket for iphone storage during runs?
