Thanks to Ms. T. for the heads up on the upcoming Secret Garden Inspire crops. These will definitely stand out at a race.

Very 1990s, too Laura Ashley inspired. No thanks, but I guess they'll appeal to some? Too many subpar floral patterns these last 1-2 years. I'm surprised they've done such a large release of this fugtastic pattern.
I want these. :) I wouldn't in WUC, but for some reason they tickle my fancy for running. I feel like they'd cover up cellulite, too. The only bad thing is that then there's no mesh behind the knees, which in my climate (TX) makes them winter-only tights. Even so...I'd buy them and wait for winter to wear.
Secret garden pattern is too much for me to wear, but I'd go for smaller doses of the pattern. It did look great paired with angel blue color.
OT: Could anyone comment on the fit of the Pace Queen Tights? I waited too long to order them online but the pattern I want is only in size 8 (one up from my size 6). I do have healthy legs. I'd appreciate any input.
I can't help but admire the execution of this print. It looks like it was lifted straight from a botanical book. The details and colours are truly marvelous to look at. But would I wear it? Not more than the printed pages of a book.
I think there are certain people that can get away with these, and others, like me, who shouldn't wear them. I still don't really like them. The print is better as an accent on pants or tops rather than being the main thing. FYI-my Kleenex box beside my bed has exactly the same pattern, I swear!!!! ha, ha, ha!
I think these would look good on a size 2 maybe but props to anyone who wants to rock them! I am surprised with myself that I actually really want the secret garden speed shorts. So bizarre. Really hope they show up in the upload tongiht!
I don't think those are "me" (i'm just not into florals). But I think they'd look amazing on someone else! Like, I'd totally be impressed by someone with the chutzpah to wear them!
You're definitely safe to size up in these! I fluctuate between 4's and 6's depending on material (luon I stay with a 4 and any running or denim material a 6). I did go with a 4 in these and I absolutely shouldve sized up. I like to hike my pants up a bit and these definitely show a CT, they're very compressive and the waistband is quite tight. You're safe to go up a size. Hope that helps :)
Yes that's just too much pattern. It's not for me at all. I think a bit of the print like in the FTB bra and the speed shorts is alright.
I personally don't think they are worth $90 + tax.
Agree that there will be the odd few people who can totally pull this print off. I don't want the inspires. But somehow I think if they were just a WU crop or WU pant, with a nice, simple, long white shirt, and sandals or flip flops, it would be quite fresh. I can see it but still don't think I'd buy them :)
Yes, these are a whole lotta yikes. I'd totally wear the speeds in this print though. Maybe even the CRB. It would look pretty with black crops/tights.

That garden is definitely not very secret...
Yikes! No thanks. A bra or bangbuster is enough for me in this print :)

Lol. I burst out laughing at this comment. It really is $90 worth of yikes.

For some reasons I like them in pace queen tight, but not these....
That's so funny! I was looking at my Kleenex box thinking the exact same thing, lol!

Wow. I am someone who will wear bright colors in a race, but I am sprinting away from these.
