After seeing some many photos of the new goodies, I had to go back to the store and check them out. I saw most of the items at the Georgetown location, but I was in a rush for their 9pm event. I wish I got there early and just took my time, because I ended up getting nothing at the event.
Tried the Fluff Out pullover in a size 8 and 6. The size 8 was definitely too loose in the hips and chest for my liking...it just looked too puffy. (Surge was sold out in a size 6 at the store.) It looks really cute in the photos, but it is just not for me. I'm glad I got the running vest....I will use it a lot for golf, and I love that it doesn't restrict my movement....I will also get good use out of it for running.
Honestly I just grabbed these sweatpants to throw on with the jacket so I didn't have to do a review in jeans.....but I ended up loving them! They didn't have deep zinfandel. I already had the Bliss Break sweats in heathered black. I didn't have any simple grey sweats and these are such a great staple. I love how they make my butt look. I'm going to get a LOT of use out of these (although they don't look as fun as some other choices)
The inkwell beautiful baroque Speed shorts were cute, but I just don't get a lot of use out of my speed shorts. I wear my Inspire crops for gym and running.
Same with the raspberry plaid speed shorts. They look cute with surge, but there really isn't a need. I don't wear a lot of running shorts anymore. Maybe if I was doing more crossfit...but I'm slowly getting back into crossfit shape.
I really loved the winter orchid Swiftly SS. I really wanted to get it, but I'm holding off for a LS version.
So here is what I got......I got two winter ear warmers, the Calm and Cozy sweats, and a surge CRB...I actually got the last one in my size...off the mannequin!

I'm putting in an order for the base runner half zip. I really love the color surge and loved the half zip. I figured this would be like the herringbone Nice Asana...if we were going to see it the stores, we would have received it by now. I'm just going to get it so I don't have to wait 2 more weeks or whenever they decide to deliver it to the stores.
Possible new lululemon colors....They have some sun chaser hats in surge and bleached coral. The model is wearing a paisley swiftly so these have to be new.
The new skinny headband has clear mint (which looks a little like fadded zap) and bleached coral.
I actually kind of like bleached coral with surge...I can see them phasing bleached coral with surge and then introducing clear mint. I am a little baffled at this color pallet for fall though....we just had bleached coral, pop orange, and fadded zap this past March. This was only 8 months ago. I hope we don't see a super bright color pallet for fall. I don't mind matching some brighter hues with darker colors, but I don't need that neon blast that we saw this past spring.
