I went out early this morning to check out the markdowns in my stores today (same as on line with regard to selection and pricing) and ended up coming home with these - the Strap It Like It's Hot Bra and Tank. I was not expecting to buy these. I tried on the bra and was pleasantly surprised to find it nicely supportive and up-lifting, and then went back and grabbed the tank. I thought they were the same print until I laid them out to take these photos and noticed they're slightly different - the tank has some blue in the print. The print on the bra is called the Mini Blooming Pixie Raspberry Multi and the tank print is called Blooming Pixie Multi. They're both made out of luxtreme. The tank is on the roomier side, for a luxtreme tank, through the mid-section. The fit and support of the bra is similar to the Bound Bra/Water Bound Bra but with more coverage.

The bra band in the tank uses a substantial piece of elastic for support.

The bra has reflectivity in it. The tank does not.

I'm excited to put these to use in the gym. God knows I've needed something to motivate me.

I also tried on the Raspberry 5 Mile LS. I ordered this last night off the website. I liked this a lot. It's nicely long and has a flattering fit. The watch slit is only on the left wrist and stays closed when you don't actively open it to look at your watch.

I also tried on the new Blooming Pixie Raspberry Pace Rival Crops. I ordered these last night, too, but wasn't expecting to like them since they're full on luxtreme which can be on the thick and stiff side. They were nicely stretchy and didn't seem too fade too much when stretched. I happened to be wearing pink underwear but I thought the crops were nicely opaque in my bend test.

5 Mile LS in Tiger Space Dye Black/White. I tried this on today and really liked it. Fit was TTS and it was nicely long. The watch slit is only on the left arm and does not gape open. I'll have a separate post with some photos.

Raspberry Tonka Stripe Kriss Cross Half Zip. I saw this in the store today but the line was too long for me to try it on. The luxtreme felt nice and thick, though. I definitely want to give it a try.

Pace Queen Tights. I am dying to know if that pocket will fit a big iPhone.
