I may have made a few purchases at Lululemon today.
Fast And Free Crop *Nulux TTS 10
In love with these!! What was I thinking? I had been complaining for years now that the item I most need from Lululemon are luxtreme run tights without any mesh, and here they where right under my nose. This is what I most like to wear for Crossfit and especially for lifting so I had to snatch these up. They are very soft and opaque but with slight compression in the waist. I found these flattering and comfortable and a great length for me.
I would have really loved this top a lot if it wasn't for the top to bottom mesh in the back. This tee has really great design details on it with a nicely edged neck, cuffed hem and flattering yet loose fit. I really liked that this didn't look boxy or short on me. I've learned to really appreciate doing olympic lifting in these technical material tee shirts because the higher neckline means I'm not completely exposing my boobs in the chest over bar position. I'm definitely going to consider this one for markdown but to be honest, that mesh back really makes me cranky because this tee is otherwise perfection. The amount of ventilation you get with a fully meshed back is minuscule on an already light weight top like this - it's so unnecessary.
I even liked the cut of this tee with my jeans for casual wear.
Oh my!! I fell in love hard with this print. I really didn't think much of it with the online web photos but I've seen a few try-on photos on Facebook and the print is so much more flattering and dimensional than it's portrayed online. This morning I saw an especially great photo of them so I decided to give them a chance today and I'm so glad I did. The jacquard luon is a knit but it's a really soft stretchy knit, not one of those really stiff itchy jacquards that lululemon has put out over winter. I was surprised to see so much blue in the print in person - online the print looks really faded and washed out. I might have passed on these if they only came in the longer length but because they come in hi-rise cropped I had to get them.
These are the ones I ended up with. I liked both the 7/8 and this one but the cropped length is more versatile for me for working out in.
Freshly Pant Black Grape TTS 10
These are a nice light track pant for spring, and I love the black grape. Unfortunately they are too long on me and I would probably hem them to 7/8 length. They look fine with folded hems but I think in this style of tapered leg I prefer a cleaner edge and a shorter length. I also really liked the smooth wide waistband on these. I don't need track pants for casual wear so these are not on my want list, but they aren't bad at all.
Loop Back Hoodie size down - 8
I tried this hoodie on the other day in my TTS and it was definitely too big. This jacket looks way better sized down, and it's still roomy, it's just much less boxy. Because I purchased Fast And Free Crops and the Arrow Jacquard WUC's, this is off my 'maybe' list.
