Brand Review: Lorna Jane

Last week I couldn't resist ordering the Lorna Jane Oceania Excel Tank. It's finally starting to get hot here, so I'm starting to be more attracted to flowy tops that breathe well. I was looking to exchange my top from last week's Lorna Jane review and I was attracted to the ombre colors of this tank!

The colors were just as vibrant in real life. I am a complete sucker for blue....I adore the yellow, white, teal The tank is just how I thought....a little boxy for a looser fit at the bottom.

My only "gripe" is that the material isn't that soft. It feels a little like a basketball jersey. I really love Lorna Jane...I just their prices were a tad cheaper. I feel like they are about 5-7% higher than Lululemon.

While they have a lot of stores on the West Coast, they have zero on the east coast. I have been spoiled with 5 local Lululemons in the DC area. It is hard to justify a purchase when you don't get to try it on....plus some of my favorite items have been ones I tried on in the store and wouldn't have considered by photo alone.

I do like their website. When they are running low on sizes, they provide the actual quantity of the item left. I love it when online stores do this. It gives me an idea if the item is going to sell out or not. They also keep photos of all of the items despite being sold out. This gives the customer an idea of what is in the store even if it is no longer available online. 

Lorna Jane Oceania Excel Tank (size small), VSX Angel Bra in White (size 32D), Lululemon Cadet WUC

I really like this tank. It is definitely the color that is selling me. I wouldn't have kept it if it was a solid color. I think the ombre colors match a lot of great neutrals. It is a little on the shorter side, but that's preferable in the summer...I didn't want it so long it covered shorts.

Trapeze Excel Tank in Laguna Beach (size small)

I tried on my Trapeze Excel tank from last week again....it was a little twisted during the first time and  I like it much better with crops than shorts. I decided to keep both tanks!

Second order from Lorna Jane...they're a little pricey, but I like having unique items. Their quality also seems to be pretty good too. I really like their sports bras, so I'll have to try one of their bras in the near future.  I love Lululemon....but I see it everywhere in DC. It's nice to know that I won't be sharing the same outfit as the person next to me in the gym.
