Buy all the Tame Me Tanks! I went to the store today to exchange the Liberate Tank I ordered last week for one of the new Tame Me Tanks. I ended up getting the Fresh Teal one but the Faded Zap and Black were close second choices. I have to reiterate how much I
love the change of the bottom material from silverescent to circle mesh. I am a huge circle mesh fan. It's so silky and cool against your skin. This is just a fantastic all around tank - super comfortable, doesn't show too much cleavage, cool. It's great for running, spin, or any sweaty activity. You wear your own bra underneath and it covers the Ta Ta Tamer perfectly. I hope this will be coming in Bubble Gum and Beach Blanket Blue. Fit is TTS. If you have narrow hips you could probably safely size down in this tank but the pleats below the bust might pouf out a bit. I'd say the girl in the Pop Orange version is wearing her true size.
I tried on the Out and About pants. They didn't work for me but I thought they were cute pants. They are very thick and substantial feeling. I tried on the black version and the finish is shiney and not matte black. I thought they fit TTS.
I tried on the Stash and Dash pullover and really liked it. I tried it on with just my energy bra underneath and it felt breathable, not plastic-y. I think it would be great for running in drizzly weather in Southern California. I was actually looking for something like this a couple of months ago when I got caught in a downpour on a training run. The only thing holding me back from getting this is the price. If it was $30 or so cheaper I'd probably get it. I tried on the ten since that is the highest size it went up to and felt I could live with that so I'd say it runs on the roomy side but not sure it's so roomy that you'd want to size down in it.

| Turn It Up LS and Pace Crop |
I tried on the Turn It Up LS in the Pop Orange. That color isn't sheer like the Fresh Teal and Dune versions. I liked the top a lot but find $78 kind of pricey. I don't really need a top like this since I have five Swiftly LS so will pass on it for now. If I spot it on the markdown racks for the right price I would definitely consider getting it. I'd say you'd probably use it in warmer weather than a Swiftly LS, or if you don't like Swiftly LS then take a look at this top. Now that I think about it, if you have trouble with the Swiftlys riding up this might be a nice alternative since it's looser fitting at the bottom. I think it would make a great warm up or cover up. I thought the fit was TTS. The midsection is very roomy but the arms fit on the snug side so I couldn't size down in it. The SS version runs TTS with a closer fit in the body than the LS. The sleeves are also snug in the SS top.
I tried on the Wee Space Inkwell Inspires and was tempted to get these and return the Wee Space Pace Crops I got a couple of weeks ago. However, I find Inspires on the long side on me so will stick to the Pace crops. These Inspires have no mesh in them, they are solid luxtreme all the way down, which I liked.

can't wait to get my Tame Me Tank in the mail. If it fits nice, then I'll definitely be ordering more (:
I want the new "mystery" top, swifty, and the Tame me in the new blue color!! I need more LLL blue in my liiiiiiiife :o)
LLA what makes you tempted to swap your Pace for the Inspires? What are your Pro's of the Inspires and the cons of your Pace?
I don't care for the Embody crop. I'm over Luon pant/crops. Unless it's super thin (which means sheer-ville) the stuff is so dang thick! I'll still to Luxtreme stuff.
Thanks for the report! Is the wee space inspire fabric thicker than normal inspire crops?
Went into a store last week to try on the Bleached Coral Grooves - an expensive pair of pantyhose. I noticed all the grooves were missing from the website - they must be part of the "luon incident". One of the GEC's said she would NOT BUY those bleached coral grooves - no way (and she has a flawless amazing body I might add). I really like the look of the Bleached Coral Karma Pant - anyone try this on? Is it safe and solid?
I have one on the way too! Can't wait. I ordered the black.
I'm going to put this here because it's the most current thread.
The recall was all publicity!
Look here.

Blegh, blegh blegh, drivel drivel. We need to get more money for our share holders so we have a publicity stunt!
Thank you for the report! I am so in love with the wee space print and colors, but am kind if over crops now! It will be summer soon. Anyone know whether we might get shorts or skirts in it like last year? I would LOVE a pacesetter.
Totally OT but I got the Prana catalogue yesterday and it is gorgeous. I haven't bought anything from them for years because the quality really declined and styles were meh but apparently there has been a management buyout or something and they are trying to return to their old roots. Their swim line looks awesome.
OT - I was pretty sure that the Invert Crop was pulled off the HK site the day after it was gone from the US/Intl site. I had wanted to buy a pair (despite the higher price) but it was no longer showing.
But I just checked now and it's back. For black and black/frond.
@ anon 6:48 pm - I almost think it was a stunt, too.
@ seattlite - I would be tempted for two reasons - no seaming across the butt and the waistband on the inspires is a little higher, which I like better. However, summer is coming so shorter crops are better for me and the Pace have mesh in them and these Inspires don't.
LLA - since you saw some fresh green bottoms in store, how crazy was that green color? I am tempted because I love bright colored bottoms. Just not sure if they are too out there. Thanks!
@ 8:37 pm - I think most of the Very Green photos I've posted have been true to life so only *you* can decide how out there they are. Inkwell and Limitless Blue Wee space is about as crazy as I get in bottoms. I think if you want a wild color for a race Very Green is really fun (and probably a must have for St. Patty's day races). I much prefer Fresh Green to Frond, which is too Kermit the Frog for me.
Thanks, I agree. Frond was pretty for tops, didn't like the few yoga bottoms that came out in that color. I will wait until I can get out to my local store instead of ordering online. I don't think people are clamoring to get those green inspires. LOL
I am crossing my fingers that the define jacket will make a come back. I am starting to believe that this is a lost cause. Am I the only one who feels this way?
@ anon 10:29pm - you are NOT the only one who wants the define jacket to come back. I am guessing 90% of LLL's regular clientele want this jacket to return. I have 6 defines all of which I covet dearly. I would have LOVED a define in fresh teal, very green, faded zap, or the new moonglow or beach blanket blue colors. There's nothing tempting at all about the Forme jacket, so sad!
@ anon 8:46 am - did you see how cheap the Formes that just got moved to WMTM are? $64 for the inkwell denim.
@ LLA - the price of those marked down Forme jackets just emphasizes their true worth. I don't really remember defines ever going to WMTM on the CAD side (there was a light pink version that did at one point and i think it sold out within a few hours?). The define jacket was worth the price tag! I still wouldn't buy a forme jacket for $64 even if it was in a pretty color. It's a poorly made jacket and it does not flatter me like the define did, so it's not worth any of my money, personally. I am definitely taking better care of my defines and in strides since they're (for the time being) irreplaceable pieces lol.
@ anon 11:12am - Totally agree. Generic styling aside the Forme is awful because the luon used is so thin.
