Tonight's Upload - Blasts From the Past

Dance Strap Tank

Retro Rainbow Crop

Shape Jacket

Swift Tank
Some interesting pieces from lulu's past were uploaded tonight.
  • The Dance Strap tank hasn't been out for quite a few years. This tank doesn't work for my chest but I know quite a few people were big fans of this tank. 
  • The Retro Rainbow crops are a very old design, at least four years old but I think even older than that. The shape reminds me of the Groove crop. 
  • I used to own the Shape jacket. It's quite short and fitted. I know most people like to size up in this jacket. 
  • The Swift tank was the forerunner of the Push UR Limits. I think a lot of people were bummed when it was discontinued. If you like the Push UR Limit definitely give the Swift a try. I believe the Swift was only uploaded to the US side tonight.


Two tank in the pretty new Lavender Dush color were uploaded - the Push UR Limits (I think to the Canadian side only for now) and a Scoop Neck.

This pretty Push UR Limit was only uploaded to the Canadian side tonight. I like it but I am leary of luxtreme tops in light colors.
 Pretty new version of the Daily bag in Fossil and Lavender Dusk.

Something I am kind of excited to see - Reverse Groove shorts in tall lengths. They are a couple more inches longer than regular Groove shorts. I used to toy with the idea of getting these years ago but never did. I want to give them another try. They are a little shorter than Biker Grooves and might work for spin. I need to search these out at the store.

Did you order anything?

My wallet is safe this week. I was obsessed with the aquamarine but my wardrobe can only take so much of one palette. Hoping we see some new colors soon, greens, oranges maybe? Oh, and more ebb and flow crops please please!!!

I got Practice Freely tank in lavender. Btw, I saw Lavender scuba at my store in Norcal this weekend. It's very pretty.

I was hoping for a Deep Indigo cross my heart bra and deep indigo run: swiftly tank. Any word on these items LuluAddict?

Not a fan of the discover stripe so my wallet is safe. I do love lavender dusk so I hope the PUL tank comes to the US in that color!

I am way too pale for all of these pastel colors!!

Oh wow, Swift is back!! I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else excited about this. I had one swift when I first started buying Lulu and loved it, but I ended up shrinking out of it so it's WAY too big now. I like that they added length to this top because it was a tad on the short side, but it is a *great* workout tank, especially for those wanting more coverage and support, perfect for more high impact workouts. I quite like the aquamarine and DS combo too, more so than the pictured PUL released in Canada which had too many stripes for me. Now I'm just wondering how the updated fit is? I've take a 6 in most tops including PUL, so I'd expect it to be the same for this as well? I'm also fair skinned and not sure if aquamarine would be too light for my complexion? It'll be hard to pass this one up and wait to see what other color swifts come out...? I am loving the lavender dusk but just wish they could somehow keep the color soft, but with a little more pigment so it doesn't wash me out.

I'm pale, too, so I'm not loving all the pastels. Also, I fret about the see-through factor. How see-through is that Swift top likely to be, I'm wondering? Or the lavender PUL?

I just ordered the heathered lavender dusk power y & the aquamarine/discover stripe stride! I had been trying to resist the temptation for the stride but it just looks so darn cute in all of the photos. I am olive skinned so I am loving the more muted palette.

Just ordered the Aquamarine Dance Strap tank and Aguamarine Dip Dye Scuba Hoodie! We'll see how I like them when they come! I'll let you guys know! Does anyone have any fit reviews on the Dance Strap tank? What about the Switch Back Shorts? No one seems to have any reviews on them! Thanks for everyone's help, fellow lulu girlies!

Can't believe I didn't order anything today. Would have ordered the PUL in Aquamarine or Lavender dusk, but they are not on the US site. Hopefully my closest store will have them, and the Swift tank too, going there on Friday.) Love my PULs but never tried the Swifts. Was also hoping that the Ebb & Flow crop is restocked. :(

Is the Dance Strap tank an online exclusive? Like the previous retro items (deep v, wrap tank, etc.). I have been looking for this tank for a few years but despise ordering online...

@ Natalie- I ordered the switchback shorts last week in my wunderunder size 6 and speed short size 8. I loved the photos of the aquamarine switchback shorts and thought I would get the black ones just to see how they fit. There weren't any reviews for me to base sizing on so I tried both and wound up sending both back. The 6's definitely fit best but for the price and only in black were not exciting enough. What drew me to them was the drawstring pull on the shorts and I still wasn't a big fan. I loved the photos of the educators/models wearing them with the ties pulled up but in black they weren't exciting enough. The 8's were way to big and looked cheep they fit so poorly. If they come out in aquamarine I will probably order them in a 6 and see if I like them more in an exciting color. Hope this was helpful:)

Don't feel bad for buying today, hee-hee! I'm sure I'll come home with something this Friday, after visiting my store. ;)
