New cotton fleece Keep Up Crew. I had to double check the seaming to make sure it wasn't a
Crew Love Pullover since they look very similar but this is a new top in a heavier material. I don't understand why there are two very similar looking crew neck sweatshirts out at the same time. How about bringing back the
Effortless Hoodie? I'd love another one of those.
Light Speed Vest,
Harbor Blue Swiftly, and
Cyber Stripe Top Speed Crops. Where is the floral version of the new Light Speed vest? I might consider shelling out $148 for that one since it's so pretty.

Cute new everyday pullover. Think it has thumbholes? I have the voyage pullover and I'm obsessed with it. Any idea how the material of this one stacks up? Oh and also the open your heart LS II? I'm curious about that pullover as well. Anyone? :)
LLA, have your tried the new On the Daily Hoodie? Wondered what your impression is of the PU coated version..I tried it on and felt that the coating made the shoulder area a bit funny..and the body overall strange with the slight stiffness of the coating. With all their rain coats out it's odd that they felt a need to put the coating on a version since it's a lighter weight hoodie and could easily be worn under a rain jacket. I love the blue combo but would only buy if it comes in the uncoated version.
I tried on the crew love pullover today and passed on it because it has a big old wide boatneck... YUK! Looked sloppy and weird since it's supposed to be for cold weather.
I saw the other pullover that you have in the first photo (Keep Up Crew) and it's so thick it felt like a straight jacket. :( I wish they would bring back the Effortless Hoodie as well, in some fun colors!
I went to my store the other day and tried some stuff on. The new chevron patterned Swiftly tanks have a really weird feel to them. They are not soft like a regular Swiftly--I can't explain it, but they feel slippery and the fabric feels coarse or something.
I tried the not so lucky bra. It is definitely not for those of us who have a little boobage. Wow, it was a bad fit--spilled out the sides, the bottom, the top, you name it, and that was a size up from my norm (so of course then the band was too loose!)
The not so lucky tops were horrid too. The long sleeved fabric is so thin, it feels like it could easily get snagged--something that would really suck after paying $88 for it. Plus, if I sized down (which fit better as far as sleeve length and not having the sleeves hang down weirdly under the arm pits, it clung to my third boob on my lower back. Not a good look! That new fabric warp whatever fabric is really not very nice feeling either. Can't explain it, but I didn't like it, it felt like it would be hot and sweaty.
I walked out with absolutely nothing!
Has anyone tried on the vintage pink swiftly tech tank? Wondering if it's similar to the heathered ones which are always softer. TIA :)
@ anon 8:19 pm - I am not surprised to hear this. I didn't like the feel of the rugby striped Swiftlys at all - not stretchy, too thick, and not soft.
@ lulu - I have not tried the On the Daily Hoodie yet. When I went to the store on Friday they didn't have it. Good to know about the coated one. I've heard good things about the regular one, though.
Not even remotely tempting. Repeat of another any old boring sweatshirt, I really couldn't care how soft it might be.
Thanks for the texture/feel info on the chevron Swiftly tanks. They look pretty but if they feel icky then easy pass.
I love the open your heart long sleeve. Have two of them and love the fact that they are completely reversible and look great on both sides. Totally worth full price but I snagged mine at $49.99 on markdown.
Anon at 3:27 PM, I got a purple Open Your Heart LS II back in November and I love it. It's really soft and cozy and has held its shape well. I would definitely get another one if it was on the Canadian side!
I tried the On the Dailt Hoodie today, both versions. I had to size down in both and I really liked the coated version, but not that much to pay $128+tax... it's on my wmtm watch list lol
To anonymous @ 3:27 - I have the Open you Heart LS II and I love it! It is super soft and is one of the few reversible pieces that I actually wear both sides. It is TTS, comfy, yet slim enough to layer over (wore it yesterday with a fluffed up vest over it). I got mine on the markdown rack at a store for $49, because it never would have jumped out at me online. I would have no problem paying full-price, though. It DOES NOT have thumbholes.
@ anon 3:27 pm - I really like the Open Your LS II when I tried it on. My only problem with it is that I already had two of the OYH I and the colors are the same.
I got a little excited and called a store to charge ship cyber stripe inspires to me. Don't love them and am passed the return policy date. They are a size 6 am willing to sell them to someone and pay for the shipping (even to Canada via usps international) for $100.
Thank you for all the input on the current pullover selection! I've definitely got to get my hands on the open your heart LS II
@1:35 PM..I just returned my Cyber Stripe Inspire Crops and since they are so new even if you are slightly outside the window I would try to return them to the store. Most Lulu stores have been music more forgiving on the return policy lately and you can just give them your reason for what bothers you about them I am sure they will take them back!
