Rewind Oversize Tee Plus Random Stuff

 

Rewind Oversize Tee

The new Rewind Oversize Tee everyone on the Facebook site is oohing and ahhing over. From this photo, it looks pretty ordinary to me. I'm rather tired of all the tees/tops that are tight at the hips. Why don't they bring back the BBB Racer? I love mine. It has these great double unfinished edges at the sleeves and bottom and the wide neckline is perfect for showing off the straps of a Flow Y or Deep V bra.

 

 

 

Senorita Pink / Bold Blue Space Dye Stride Jacket

So, have any of you seen this lovely Stride Jacket in the stores? These photos don't do it justice. It's Senorita Pink with Bold Blue Space Dye.Yum!

 

Senorita Pink Flight Running Bonnet

My Senorita Pink Flight Running Bonnet came today. I'm glad I got this and not the Sidewalk gray. It's a bit brighter than the photo but I like it. I wish they put the visor on the website, too. Now, I have to make a trip to the stores this weekend. *Sigh* ;-)

 

Supercheap $9 Not So Deep V in Caribe

I also ordered the loot special $9 Deep V in Caribe. I have  a couple of matching items:

 

Yes, I have worn these Grooves to the gym - once. I felt a little smurfy and I was paranoid about butt sweat  but they're awesome for around the house. Plus, I give the neighbors a treat when I get the mail.

 

My new Deep V bra doesn't look as good as I thought it would under these tops. This Flow Y works better:

Do any of you layer the Not So Deep V bra under a tank? What does it look good with that would still show a little of it? I might have to find a shirt to put over it instead. I am wearing my blue BBB racer which doesn't look bad since it has a wide neck and shows a bit of the straps and back.

QR Code Rant: Maybe Lululemon Should Back Up a Step and Get a Truly Topnotch Website First

 

Here's the QR code for my blog. Whoopee! I feel so Now, so 2010. I don't get why Lululemon is bothering with this. I can see how it might direct newcomers to their website but for us Luluaddicts I don't see the point. We already know where they are. The thing that really irks me is that their website is unorganized, error ridden, and downright primitive compared to Lucy, Athleta, and frankly, most other companies. While Lucy has mini movies showing each of its core pants in action, Lululemon's website frequently shows the wrong photo and is missing product information. Take the Heathered Fruity Tootie Deep V that was uploaded over a week ago for instance. Here is the photo you see on the Tanks Home Page:

 

However, when you click on the photo, then the tank that is really for sale will pop up:

 

Us Lulu fanatics have grown used to their primitive website and learned to click every photo because we never know what gems are lurking a click away.  However, if Lululemon were really interested in selling a lot of product, they would get a first class website and make shopping as easy as possible for their customers. Their stores are only in upscale urban locations so the web is their only "face" to a lot of people.  It benefits them to put together a well organized, well presented website.  I don't get it, their stores look nice, their products are well designed, why have they cheaped out on the website?  

 

Another thing that bugs me about Lululemon putting resources into the QR code thing when their website needs work, is that most women really aren't into technology. I don't think it's a generational thing.  I'm in my forties but my degree and career is in engineering, I love new stuff. I was surfing the net back in the early 90s, when corporations were just establishing a presence on the net.  I'm all for any gadget that enhances my life, makes it easier and more streamlined. I've had a smart phone for quite a few years and I love my iPhone. But, as I've learned since I've been home full time and away from more technical women, a lot of women are just not into technology and are slow to adopt newer things. I think this is especially true in connection with a clothing company. I dunno, I think Lululemon's money would be better spent upgrading their website and designing pretty clothes.
