I really like the back of the Speed Squad Tank, but from the front it looks like a maternity top. I'll try it on, but I'm not sure about it! Maybe a size down for most?
No interest i the tank. Back of the tank is cute, hate the front - agreed, front looks maternity. Track Time Crop - like them with the grey in the LLL logo stripe or whatever you call it. Looks better than white detail.
I had high hopes for the tank bc I love the back, but what is up with the front? Why so baggy? I don't even think it look like maternity, just way too baggy and frumpy. The crops are a definite no go for my well endowed behind...would look great on someone with a small butt though :)
I am happy I might get a break tonight. I will buy a power y in currant though. and maybe the OM tote but I will wait until I see it. I have a few bags I have not used yet so waiting should be ok.
I'm sure everyone is excited for tonight's upload. Go team!!!
nope, not pants for a kardashian booty for sure :P i had high hopes for the tank from other pics bc i love the back but the front looks super frumpy...darn.
I went in my store today and saw the power purple pacesetter and it is gorgeous!! They didn't have my size or I would've snatched it up! I also tried on the Currant WU, and they were see through! I even went up a size and it was still indecent! Too bad because the color is gorgeous. I also almost bought the Om Tote in currant. Another beautiful bag, but I am holding off to see what is uploaded tonight before I bite on such an expensive tote.
They had a trunk show about 2 hours from me last year (nearest store is 4 hours), and they didn't have anything new/exciting, mostly basics that I already had what I was interested in. I took it as a rare opportunity to try things on I wouldn't have normally - I try to be picky on my purchases since online is my only option and I pay shipping back to Lulu.
Also wanted to thank whoever posted about the F&G bag in WMTM in black yesterday being uploaded - I really wanted this bag and had originally hesitated on it and missed out, and had been regretting it, so got one on (slight) discount yesterday after your post - THANK YOU!!!!!
Btw, just got back from traveling for work to San Diego and did make it to the showroom there, not much there for me and had some difficulties with online returns - they were pleasant but fought me on it a bit but I stayed diplomatic and we worked it out so I could do the return (nice not to pay return shipping for once!). I wound up having to login and showed them my Lulu account online and that GEC uses the received date not shipped date for online purchases and the FedEx tracker delivery date. A bit of extra back and forth but they said thanks for teaching them that - maybe makes it easier for other customers in future.
I also walked over to Horton and tried on some Gap Fit stuff - almost all of it was on sale. Unfortunately, nothing fit me correctly - shirts, pants, tanks, bras, nada. Fabrics and colors were nice but just not flattering on me, but way cheaper than Lulu. Oh well, not a match for me. -vanessa
I know everyone is slamming the tank for being maternity, but I LOVE it! I have no probs showing off my rear and legs - but I like to HIDE my tummy as much as possible and if something is nice and flowy in the front I'm ALL ABOUT IT!!! lol I might try it on if I hear good things about the quality.
Mimi scrunch frye boots arrived! they are gorgeous! I can wear them tall or scrunch them down - they are actually pretty comfy for heeled boots 4 inch heels! but the understated platform in the front make it feel more like 2 inch. - LOVE! Gonna wear them everywhere and break em in! Thanks Yogibabe for posting the link to this suggestion!
Frye girl here who just got her boots too. :) Glad you Love them Minda! Just got my Gap order--ordered a a pullover...in a gorgeous sorbet color. My order came in 2 days...v.s Lulu's 12 days to arrive to me!!! Sweater was $45 and came with a tag that said, "wash seperately as colors may transfer...." LOL... Guess they too, are trying to cover their A$$ES! I was shocked to see Gap doing that too. anyways, sweater is GORGEOUS and very good quality! I can't believe it got here in 2 days!!! Excellent! I even called Gap and they offered me 15% off of my order! :) Gap just gives me more and more reasons to shop with them.
YAY! glad you have your boots too Anon 2:27! we are READY FOR THE FALL! -lol I posted pics on my blog! Rubyroad. If you click on my name it should bring you there if you wanted to see!
Thanks frye girl and Yogi! - I'm all over that be me top! hope its there! - tempted by powerpurple define - but I know with all the baaaaaad issues it isn't worth it until they shape up! shame cause its a nice color. - I like the ziggy WU! not sure I would get them - but that be me top yes yes yes. I havea full expression i hand wash daily and wear over top of everything daily!!!! it dries in a snap but is so full of holes! looks ratty! but it is my favorite! - what are you interested in?
The track time pants can work for me, as I'm a wee bit lacking back there =-). The maternity look becomes old hat, especially if you have been there for real and want to move on with your wardrobe... and life!
I'm conflicted about this tank. I saw a picture the other day of a girl wearing a red version of it and she looked awesome. The tank didn't look so baggy. These pics are making me think this tank is a pass.
Just tried on the tank...in my normal size for a tank with no built-in bra (so a size down from my NLT size) it looked awesome. Not maternity-like or frumpy. My only problem is that my lower back gets cold easily and the wrap back leaves for a breeze. Perfect in the summer at it's hottest but not sure I can justify at this price heading into fall. My guess is that the girls in the pics above are wearing the wrong size.
@Rebecca Sigmon: I agree that the models are probably wearing the wrong size. I tried these tanks on in the store and they did not pouf out like that in the front.
btw, these new crops run tighter. I usually buy Inspires in size 6 but the Track Time crop felt better on me in a size 8.

In that last photo.. is that a Capsian Blue Power Y she has on underneath?
I think that is the flow y and the Caslon waist band of her track time crops
Like the purple, the other shirt.?.ugly!
Any idea on the price of the track time crops?
I really like the back of the Speed Squad Tank, but from the front it looks like a maternity top. I'll try it on, but I'm not sure about it! Maybe a size down for most?
The same girl is in another picture and it is a flow and y bra in caspsian. Shirt look like maternity shirts but I like the back.
Running tights aren't bad, but not exactly made for the Kim Kardashian types. The tank/top is hideous!
Are the track time pants made of power luxtreme II?
I will try the crop but maybe not so much the tank. It seems too loose for anything but for lounging round the house.

I love the crops, but am I the only one thinking its going to make everyones butts look bigger?

I was thinking the same thing, Anonymous 11:58. I'm not sure I want any more attention drawn to my bum. :)

Every time I see it, I can't stop reading it as 'speed squid' tank.
nope, not pants for a kardashian booty for sure :P

@ 12:25 lol lol "Speed Squid"
Might try the tank for giggles.
Totally OT- what are Lulu trunk shows typically like? Are there things that "addicts" would find interesting or do they consist of typical basics?
