I just can't get enough of that purple on the swiftly. So beautiful. I got both long sleeve and tank in that color. Unfortunately that color doesn't look as pretty and bright in luon in crb2.
Well, I just checked tags on my purple swiftly and crb2 and apparently those are two different purples. Swiftly is heathered super purple and crb2 ir power purple. I just can't understand why on earth they would have two similar purples out at the same time. Just makes it so confusing.
Agree with you about all the mesh. The mesh itself is getting a lot trashier looking too. Not a fan at all. Regarding the red, I think it's because Lulu hardly ever releases a true red, most reds have been orangey reds like Alarming or pinky reds like Bumble/Rumble Berry. I don't think this looks like a true red either, imo, it looks to be a little on the orangey red side rather than a true red. Currant was what I'd consider a true red.
My husband peered over my shoulder when I was reading this post and looked at the first pix of the pace rival marathon and went eww you wouldn't wear those would you???? I just laughed. Yeah right. All this mesh is so ugly. It doesn't matter what size you are...
I don't see why that singlet should be more than $48. :| it looks super plain.
ReplyDeleteIt's sewn with silver, which always increases the price over other fabrics.
DeleteIt's same as stride to tide singlet in swim fabric from spring....except the hem was not finished....it was $58....so price went up on these too....

DeleteReally? Not sure where you are from, but on the USA site the swiftly tank is listed as "heathered power purple"
DeleteYes, anon 8:33 am, that's right. The Swiftly is listed as Power Purple in Canada as well, and the CRB II is Super Purple.
DeleteMesh is way beyond out of control. I don't understand the hype about all of the red either. However, the print on that CRB you have on is beautiful.
