I did manage to stop by the Logan Circle Lululemon when I was on the way to Whole Foods. There weren't too many brisk bloom items. I also was not thrilled with a lot of the new items....I thought maybe if I saw them in the store I would change my mind....but that definitely didn't happen.
I wasn't interested in the Keep it Up pant when I saw the upload, but I was very interested in them when I saw them in the store. I really need a warm pair of pants for golf, and these aren't much more than other golf pants by Nike or Puma. I was really short on time, so I had to restrict myself to tops....but I will be back to try them on! I think I would get black, because i already have the Urbanite pants in inkwell. At least this would give me another color option.
I tried the Post Chaturange pullover. The pullover itself felt amazing with the Sherpa, but I was unimpressed with the color and shape. The fit is very masculine and you can't really do anything with the collar. Wearing it up looks ridiculous! It's too exaggerated. I really hope we get the Don't Hurry Be Happy pullover. I really want something Sherpa now, but definitely not this.
I also liked the striped B&W print on the new scuba. It was cute, but I thought the brisk bloom print competes too much with the hoodie. I would have rather seen a white lining on the inside. I usually wear a size 4, but sometimes a 4 can feel a little snug. This one actually felt nice and roomy.
Also tried on the Passage sweater. I sized down to a 4 and it still fit a little frumpy. I have a pretty perky chest, and this sweater made my boobs look frumpy. It was warm. I just don't really care for anything black, and I would have liked it to be a little more fitted.
The new Swiftly tank in the stripe print was really cute. I didn't see the short sleeve version in white....just the black stripes. I ordered bright purple and red leggings from Fabletics and Ellie this month, so I think the classic black and white would go great with them. I got a size 6 to be a little looser. I can wear a 4 in the tanks, but I like my Swiftly tanks to fit a little bit looser so I can wear them in my uber conservative gym.
Tried on the Gratitude Wrap and I was more disappointed in person! It was terrible, terrible! It wasn't that thick, the shape was frumpy, and it looked cheap. The threads from the snaps were visible and it made the wrap look terrible. To each their own....I hated it so much on me, I don't think I would have ever worn it as a gift. (I sized down to a size 4 by the way).
I picked up the pique Vinyasa scarf on a whim. I didn't know If I wanted to keep it, but I didn't want to want one after the fact. I refuse to pay more $$ than the value of it on evilBay.
I don't really go for the bangbuster, but I really liked the brisk bloom version. Please pick this out in the store. They vary....big time. the first one I picked up had almost no flowers and a lot of white space. It is such a pretty print. The soot light version of this print looked dated, like a Hawaiian shirt. This version looks timeless.
I also picked up the new Mind and Body kit in brisk bloom. I really liked this combo. The organization is awesome. I love the brush and makeup pouch. The opening has a metal frame and it turns into a basket. I really love this concept, because it will be much easier to find my things instead of digging!
Here's some close ups of the print on my Swiftly, since it's so hard to see far away. I like that the inspirational messages are easier to read when inside out!
I have it on with my Marshall's brand Kyoden crops. I have my exhalation pullover in heathered grey to keep me warm (love this one)!
So there was hits and some definite misses. I was expected to be blown away with these holiday looks, but they have been kinda odd. I really love the color pallets they have been cranking out, but I'm hoping things look a little brighter for the holiday season. What did you guys think of the new upload?
