Good thing that throw my over hoodie isn't 4 inches longer, then I would be tempted to buy it in every color! Thanks lulu for saving me money!
Beach runner crops are cute. Why does everything else look sloppy? I had hopes for the Rejuvenate Sweatpant but blah.
Those white WUs are ridiculous. Not a good ridiculous either.
Hate the look of those sweatpants! What is with the saggy diaper look on all the new pants. They are not flattering on anyone.
The zippers on the Rejuvenate Sweat Pant make it look like a diaper, the light colored pair in particular.
Just an FYI the pinkilcious bleeds... Got the mile a minute tank ( which i love!) and it bleed on the white gym towel i had on the bench when working out. when are they going to fix the bleeding issue.
My street to studio crops might look hip now to all the haters in comparison to the rejuvenate sweat pants which scream old lady to me. It must be an age thing when it comes down to liking the street to studio crops. I am in my 50s and I don't mind the high waist and prefer the looser fit than the tighter fit of going down a size. Maybe it is a nice change from my skinny jeans. I also have four pairs of studio crops and the fabric is the same so it does not feel cheap. I am 5'5"/120lbs and the crops actually fall above my ankles so I have a pant ( how I wear) and a crop in this one style.
Work it Out Pant: 1980 called and it wants its pants back.
Lululemon could have totally upgraded the look of the rejuvenate sweat pant by using a lululemon logo zipper pull like the ones on my pleasing pant.
I tried on the reversible pinkalicious wunder under today, and it was sheer! I don't understand how a double layer of luon could still be sheer, but I could see the tag, and the imprint of my thong. This is really bad news for Lululemon if their luon is this thin! What a disappointment!
Thanks for the heads up on the pinkelicious bleeding issue, 8:57! I was so close to getting the pinkelicious beach runner crops - except that they're see through, too :( BOOO, that's 2 strikes for you!
wow thought they fixed the bleeding issue- hum interesting! that guazy top w/ a huge duck butt- makes ya look like you've got droopy drawers, creates the silouette ya know? I know that hemline s in regular clothing and i hate it as well on regular tops as much- it looks sloppy and bad! i've been bidding on some of past seasons lulu on ebay- but won't pay a ton either! I'm not going to sell anymore of my lulu from past seasons either- i've got some good items that should last me some years!
any word on when those other color embody crops will be out? the ones with blue and pink??
Liked this article -- at least he realizes Day must go.

I have the pinkilicious run a mile a minute tank and wore it with a white pace setter skirt..no bleeding. Washed it in warm water with a Shout colorer catcher..no bleeding.
This is totally OT. I have quite a lll collection at this point and need to get rid of some pieces that rarely get worn. I have friends that are wanting to buy from me. What percentage of the original cost is a fair price? Does anyone have any advice on this? The items are in excellent used condition, but not highly sought-after items.
Give them to friends and family. Or, sell them on the boards. But I don't like to mix the two personally.
Loved the pinkalicious pace crops prior to trying them on....Too bad they were sheer and I could see the tag through them as well as my undies. I could also see some cellulite- they were not forgiving at all. I came home and ordered the pink crops on yogasmoga thanks to the $50 credit I read about in the comments section of LLA (check their page on FB for more details). Got the pink crops today and LOVE them. Gorgeous pink and such nice material. Very opaque. Liked them so much more than the pinkalcious crops. They feel so nice and hide the lumps in my backside. Also got a handwritten note of thanks from the CEO of the company- Rishi. Wow, such a nice touch!
I own two studios pants - one in black and in the other in dark grey - and I never thought they could look crappy until I saw the white ones rolled up like that. Yuck! Looks so ill-fitting.
I agree with Anon @ 1:57PM... good idea.
OT - I am looking for an angel in Australia to obtain just a few Lululemon items off the Australian website for spring skiing here in Canada. I would pay in full plus all shipping costs of course. In return, I would be willing to buy for you from the Canadian website and/or stores as much and as many times as you would like. Anyone interested in an arrangement, please email me at Lululemonpartner@gmail.com. Thanks!
1:37, don't feel you have to give them away to friends and family. You can, if that's what you wish to do. Family and/or friends may insist on giving you money anyway. I personally would if someone was trying to give me something fairly new in perfect condition. I generally prefer not to sell to friends/family too, but if my friends have expressed interest (because they know it's going up for sale), obviously they get a deal. To that end, I have offered and given stuff to friends old LLL (still good condition) and absolutely would not accept money. On a board like craigslist I sell items for what I think is fair and I don't sell for more than retail (not to say that you shouldn't - some items are coveted, after all). I realise for some items I could get more on eBay but I don't want to go through all that rigmarole. I'm also firm on my cl price because it's usually something fairly current, great quality (not the stuff that's falling apart) not worn that much and like new condition.
There are a lot of Facebook groups great for selling... depends on item but if in EUC, I would personally take 10-15% off. Lululemon Exchange, Lululemon Bidding Battles, and Lululemon Trading Post are probably the most popular.
Is it just me or do all of the lulu gym bags suck lately? I should have bought the Keep on Running duffel last year, but I didn't really need a new bag back then. Now I am wanting a new bag, but not one of the bags they have out are even remotely tempting me! :-(
I am the one who asked about selling to friends. I have two friends who actually told me they wanted to buy some of my "vintage" lulu when I was ready to part with it. It is way too much to just give away, IMO - like $1000+ worth. I am willing to give a good deal, but I don't want to feel like I completely wasted my money on it. One reason I have felt ok about buying a lot is the resale value, so I maybe I should just e-bay it. Thanks for the replies!
Anon 3:38, what LLL shade is most comparable to the pink yogasmogas? And was the sizing comparable to LLL or did you go up/down? Sooo tempted by this offer!
Also, tried the rejuvenate sweatpants. Not a fan of the zipper running right up to the waistband for one. They are VERY roomy in the hip and didn't look good on me (I'm more of a no hipped boyish figure). They were roomier than the Out and About pant too.
@anon 3:38 - i was looking at those pink yoga smoga crops...how does the pink compare to pinkilicious? or to other lulu pinks? do you know any lulu pink color that it looks close to? is it at all neon? thanks!
Wow. That's harsh. Thanks for the warning! I'm goings to wash my Pinkelicious skirt before I wear it!
@ sophia - I think the YS (yogasmoga) pink - Tickled Pink - is probably closest to Pow but a little darker. It's not neon at all. Pinkelicious is brighter than it. I'd say the website photo is very true to life.
@ anon 6:24 pm - I just got some yogasmoga stuff to try today. I went off their website sizing chart so ordered a 12. It fits me similar to lululemon 12s. I think the material is a little less stretchy so feels more compressive. I think the Pink is closest to Pow, but a little less brighter. (I compared it to Smokey Rose (darker), Pinkelicious (darker, not as neon), and Raspberry Glo.) I think the yogasmoga website captures the color very true to life. It's very pretty.
I also got a pair of the blue crops and they are gorgeous and totally non-sheer. They also hide the lumps and bumps well. I'm very impressed with their products so far. The colors are rich and vibrant - very LLL in that way. I'll be writing a review soon.
@5:10 I'm with you!! I see the running duffel and other cute bags from last year and get jealous. Should have gotten it when I had a chance!
I just wanted to say thank you LuluAddict. Thank You in general for this blog, it has helped me make wiser purchasing choices.
Today I mentioned to some ebay sellers that they were selling product that had been sent directly to the outlets for a reason and that their postings didn't reflect that... (yes I was being troll and a jerk, but I wanted to see what would happen.)
This was the response I got:
It does not matter where I purchased them. I have tried them on and wear them. I have not noticed any problems .I not aware of any lululemon issues regarding these pants. If you are this against the pants and lululemon please take the issues up with them. Please do not purchase these from me as I choose not to sell or do business with you. Please do not email me back. Just for the record the see thru pants where that were recalled were made from poor quality luon . These pant DO NOT CONTAIN luon
Now while I fully admit that I was stirring the pot for my own evil entertainment I have to admit that I am a bit disturbed. What bothers me is that it is not just lululemon cashing in on their previous reputation for quality but that ebay sellers are buying stuff that is sent to the outlets for a reason and selling it off as regular lulu product.
@ Amanda - I have to admit if I bought something at the lulu outlet I'd probably not highlight that fact in my own ebay listing but that is why I posted it here for you guys - to educate yourselves so if you decide to buy it you won't overbid knowing that it went straight to the outlet.
As far as I know none of the recalled bottoms have been sent to the outlet. I know several colored bottoms went that were pretty sheer but they weren't part of the official recall.
Tried on the white wunder unders and they are sheer! If you plan on wearing them with no underwear you will need a brazillion.
couldn't agree more! I don't even need anymore bags. I'm just buying any good deal of the past ones because I given up hope that lululemon will release one to my liking
6:03 PM maybe you should ebay your stuff. Vintage LLL is highly sought after lately. If you search ebay on LLA's blog, she has provided good advice on how to sell and others have as well.
I think the lulu has lost sight of who they want to dress (i.e. who is the girl that wears this stuff?). Now, I am more of a conservatively dressed runner/yogi. As such, I'm so glad the pieces I have (swiftlys, wunder unders from over a year ago, black define jacket, inspire crops, black studio pants, scoop neck from last year) are all quality pieces that will hopefully last me another year. I love these pieces! They need to go back to what made them desireable in the first place and not this color blocking, sheer, sack looking crap. (IMO!)
@ anon 6:24 pm - I went back over the comments on the blog and will revise my previous answer to you in saying to size down. However, you can contact the company - they are super helpful and responsive - to ask for detailed help with sizing based on your measurements and mapping into their sizing.
Question- I am pregnant and have been out of buying mode for all clothes for 9 mos...are the WUs still the camel toe gusset or did they go back to the old one? I like the pinka ones, but want the old cut.
LLA, when is your yogasmoga review/ discount code going to be up (I know you just got em)... totally want the code you mentioned earlier (astonishingly, I don't have a pair of see through lulu pants and don't want to go back to the store just to take a pic of my butt in the changeroom for the current $50 off promo)!
WARNING ! The PINKELICIOUS WUNDER UNDERS are OBSCENELY SEE-THRU ! Even with 2 layers of luon.... you don't even have to bend over to see your underwear in these. Pretty pathetic quality ! :(
Like I said I was just being a jerk to see if the sellers would react any better than I think lulu would react. That one had quite the reaction. Later on other sellers got back to me and were shocked know there had been problems.
Katie @ 12.23
If you're a size 2 then there's a strong chance you'll get an old style gusset, my daughter still hasn't had to get a new style gusset yet. I'm a size 6 and all of the gussets I've had for the past year have been the camel toe enhancing triangle.
@1:36 I think it's a one time use unique code. At least mine seemed like it. Maybe they'll run a promo for LLA readers.
I ordered a pair of the crops and I'm super excited. Other reviews of YogaSmoga sound great though.
Thx @7:34! Well, right now I am 37 wks pregnant so I am size water buffalo. But I am usually a 4 or 6 in Lu pants. I think the reviews alone on sheerness have axed any new WUs for me. I haven't tried on a CT pair and prob won't.
@ anon 7:43 pm - I believe they are going to provide another code for my readers. Not sure if you can double dip if you have already used the Sheer
