Hi LLA - if this has already been asked/mentioned I apologize - has anyone ordered and received the new Herringbone Pacesetter? There's no way this is 4 way stretch - iit doesn't feel like the usual 4 ways at all. Is it just me? It's disappeared completely from the 'Reg' length online but it still exists under the '4 way Tall'. Just wondering if there's been some mention of this. Thanks :)
I am in the same boat, if not worse. My answer will always be a definitive yes for the ones I really like. I like to think of it as investing in an awesome collection of lulu speeds!
Tell me about it, my husband asked me the other day, "What would you value your Lulu collection?" (He was trying to determine a replacement value of all our stuff for renewing our insurance policy). I said, I don't know, what do you think? He said, "I would say $5k." So for the heck of it I started figuring out values item by item i.e. 50 CRBs x $45.....25 speed shorts x $60, etc. Some were downright scary total values (WUPs/WUCs/jackets). Suffice to say $5k doesn't even begin to cover it, but I think it's best not to share that little tidbit with the husband. Ignorance is bliss and I hope we never need the insurance to pay out.
The most of anything I have in LLL is CRBs (30) and I even sold some. I wear one or two almost every day. When I had 12 speed shorts I thought I was pretty ridiculous even though I am a hardcore runner. That is how I used to justify it but the fact of the matter was there was no way I could wear them enough--even on rotation--to continue buying more. Same with crops, I was up there. I was actually embarrassed by how much I had. I eventually culled through all of it and sold a lot. I was very happy to make money back and happier still to be literally lightened. It was great to see this stuff move on and the new owners' delight. I have always been very selective with LLL items and have reigned myself in further. Even though there is good resale value and it is reassuring, I don't want to be in that position ever again. Do I miss anything? Not at all. There's always going to be something new and pretty to want. I will keep all my CRBs though and remainder of crops - no faith in any recent, newer crops and of course CRB production has been reduced. As ling as they keep making them. I don't "need" a new one all the time, not even every month.
Any idea when new summer colors will be available for in the flow crops and wunder under crops? Nice colors like pink, tropic blues, light pink etc??? The color selection is so poor on their site.

I love the blue tropics. I didn't like the blue tropic speed shorts from last summer because of the black trim. This pair is so much cuter!
2-way or 4-way stretch? :)
If I had to guess, I'd say the blue is 2 way and the cherry is 4 way but I'm just guessing.
What about cute colors in the Run Times shorts? Sigh.
OH hell yeah, finally some nice speed shorts. Getting both, hope they are 4 way, but will settle for 2 way.
Those are super cute, but I already own about 35 speed shorts. Do you think I need more?

M, no you don't NEED more. But how do you say no? (If you figure that out, let me know.)
