I tried on the Simply the Vest today and kind of liked it. I thought it ran a bit big and you could size down in it. I didn't realize the tag said hand wash - boo!

I found the Bhakti Reality SS on the thick side. I thought the fit was TTS. According to the tag it's another hand wash item.

Wait, so we have Neutral Blush, Butter Pink and now Strawberry Milkshake CRBs all at the same time? And maybe one or two other colors for the whole year? WHAT is Lulu doing!?!??!

Why would they release three light pink CRBs so closely together? Neutral blush, butter pink and now strawberry milkshake?

I like the vest - it has great potential for a cute summer outfit.

cotton sweaters are the worse, they stretch out even if you hand wash them.

@ Alin/anon 3:45 am - I know. Where is a Vintage Green, Lullaby, or Plum Peach?

OT: looking at the inspire crop (mesh) today, and it has a color code for black/pigment wave multi. When you click it, the window displays a wild black and what looks like clear mint mesh inspire. Are these new?

I wonder what you would receive if you ordered these - black/pigment wave or black/clear mint mesh? Has anyone seen either in store (mesh version)?

I know, I barely can distinguish uploads from each other! each week - another dated print, cropped pricy and useless sweaters, and unflattering baggy pants

Does anyone know the difference between the colors "butter pink " and "strawberry milkshake?"

OT - I've lost 30lbs and desperately need to replace most of my lulu. It's killing me to sell of my stuff bc the quality in some of their staple items has really gone downhill. The reviews for the studio are horrible. Why must lulu mess with everything?! :(

I'm happy with the pinks...altho not at the exclusion of some brighter or deeper colors. I can distinguish all three pinks. I want strawberry milkshake. I saw it the store...perfect shade for me. I can how other would prefer the others.

I agree we need more strong colors!

Quick question if anyone knows...
Has anyone seen the pigment multi Inspire Tights (not crops) or Speed Tights in the US stores? I want to hand select print placement vs ordering online.

I do want the vintage green FTBW, but can't justify shipping a single item- I haven't placed a full order in nearly two months.

Dumb light pink CRBs. Where is Alberta Lake and Vintage Green? I did buy Butter Pink and it is light but pretty, plus soft and thick. I'll likely keep it (tags not off yet). The other pinks seem like muddied white CRBs. A waste of resources imo.

LLA or anybody who bought Koral activewear or Michi, can you comment on the fit and overall quality? I purchased a couple items on Carbon38 and would appreciate any feedback. TIA!

here's my 2 cents on the pinks when you compare CRB's...

strawberry pink is a clearer, cleaner, more classic light pink. This is my personal favorite

butter pink has a touch of yellow added (strawberry is a bluer pink), which makes it a slightly off shade of pink...perhaps a bit more sophisticated than strawberry pink.

I always prefer blue casted colors over yellow casted colors b/c of my skin tone.

Maybe it's just me, but I cannot stand that exaggerated split hem (on the Simply the Vest). I don't mind a slight difference between the front and the back, but when Lulu does it, it looks like two different tops sewn together. Lulu keeps churning that stuff out. I just don't get it.

Butter pink is more muted (think ballet leotard) whereas the strawberry pink, while still pastel, is a brighter pink. I saw them both in store yesterday.

I saw all three pinks in store and like strawberry milkshake best. It's more of a ballet pink while the neutral blush is more muted with a grey tone and the butter pink has a yellow tone. The strawberry milkshake pops compared to the other two.

I got the butter pink CRB, but will probably return it as it goes with none of my older Lulu pieces. I would say BUTTER PINK is the warmest of the 3 colors and has an almost peachy tinge. It's very pretty IMO, but not useful for me.

NEUTRAL BLUSH is the most ashy of the 3. I bought the DSJ in that color, and it is pretty but the coolest of the 3 pinks.

The STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE color is the truest pale pink. It is a close match to Lulu's light pinks from 2-3 years ago. I have an old Define and floral (Shape maybe) from a while back and the Milkshake color blends well with both of these.

I too crave a Vintage Green, Alberta Lake, Guava Lava CRB.

OT: I am also wishing for bright spring-time Defines -- FRESCO or VINTAGE PINK.

4:52, you gave a very precise description of the lulu pinks in the CRB. I would love a vintage green CRB. I wonder why they are not making that many items in that color?
