I went to return my Deep Breath tank today and took the opportunity to try on the Mind Over Matter crops since I've been reading so many positive comments about them. I thought they fit a bit on the loose side, kind of like the Inspire crops. The length reminded me of the Zoom crop. They hit me in the same place as the last photo. I did a bend tend and I couldn't see my underwear. They are not as opaque as luon but better than a lot of recent luxtreme crops. I am not a huge fan of the ruffle detail but other people seem to like them. I view luxtreme crops as serious athletic wear and ruffles seem a bit frivolous (I know, it's my own weird nit) but I don't think it would stop me from buying them if I was in the market for another pair of luxtreme bottoms. This is one of the rare luxtreme crop releases that goes up to a size 12.

I ended up exchanging my Deep Breath for a Scoop Neck in the Tinted Canvas print. I found one with a better distribution of color - mostly black and citron. I tried on the Deep Breath in the next size down but the light luon is just too stretchy and I was still showing a lot of cleavage. I tried on the Heathered Sand Dune Scoop Neck again to see how it looked with the Wren pants I was wearing - it looks super nice with Wren. The Heathered Sand Dune luon is very soft - it kind of feels like brushed luon but not as thick. I am thinking I would like a Define Jacket in this color, if it ever comes out. I saw the Seabed In Stride at the store but not the Wunder Unders. From the little bit of the print I saw, I still think I would like a CRB in it.

OT- I love those sneakers in the picture with the MOM crops. What kind are they? Thanks!
I bought them yesterday and thought the same thing--a bit looser than my run spirits and passion crops, but I wasn't sure it was loose enough to go down a size (which I didn't try on). I will have to test them out in my house a bit first.
The sneakers look a lot like my Nike Lunarglides... I know they make them in a ton of colors with slightly different styling.
thanks!
the sneakers are nike air max+ 2010. the 2009's have a line that goes up the middle of the toe box. the 2011 have the funky, spiderman cross weaving action on the sides.
KIND of wish I would've sized down in the MOMs...but can get used to my usual size. I ran 4.5 miles in them yesterday and they slid down like crazy for the first 1/2 mile...but after that, they stayed up just fine. They def fit a bit looser than other luxtreme crops...but not necessarily enough to size down. I have a feeling they may have slid down early in my run even w/the smaller size. I love everything else about them though!
I stayed TTS but maybe should have gone down, too. They also slide down a little, guess I didn't cinch them tightly enough. Otherwise they are awesome. I'm not really a ruffles person, but I don't mind them too much on the MOMs.
luxtreme crops slide down on me no matter what the size- I just can't run in them. My favorite run pants and crops are wunder unders :)
