I'm actually getting more and more impressed with Fabletics. I've had my ups and downs with them, but actually have been really impressed with the quality of their crops....especially for the price!
While some of their prints in the past haven't been my style (black camo), it was actually hard for me to pick an outfit for July...I liked 6 of this month's selection!
A lot of the styles are very summery basics with a bright summer print. I personally like this print. It's fun, loud, and has great use of colors. It screams fun summer print to me. I like that I can pair most of my solid tanks with this top and not go wrong.
If you missed out on Lululemon's Tech Mesh Tight, they have two intriguing outfits that have mesh paneling.
The first one is the "Brazil" outfit. This three-piece set is $59.95 for subscribers and comes with the Embra tank, Gaviota capri, and Sevan sports bra. The Embra tank is a lightweight knit/mesh tank with a keyhole detail on the back. If you don't like the mesh, they do have some solid color selections too.
I have two Sevan bras and really like them. I got one two months ago and another last month. My package came in last week so I owe you guys some photos tonight or tomorrow! Even though this bra doesn't have padding (a crucial requirement for me since I had nip exposure), I still really like it. It's the only bra without padding I keep and wear because it's so soft and comfortable.
The "Seychelles" outfit is a longer version and has some pretty details in the back. This two-piece set retails $49.95 for subscribers and comes with the Cayman tank and Rocha leggings.
I think the peek-a-boo mesh on the back of the leggings is cute because it's unexpected. The mesh in the top blends well with the top and seems like it would be a very breathable top for summer.
The "Anguilla" outfit looks a little Lululemon-inspired. The two-piece set costs subscribers $49.95 and comes with the Norwalk tank and Dili shorts.
The Norwalk tank looks VERY similar to Lululemon's No Limits Tank. The only noticeable differences is the bottom which isn't bloused into a tight-fitting band. The material is also made of a grey mesh fabric. I still like the style, and it might be a cheap "dupe" to Lululemon's tank. The Dili shorts are really cute in the deep purple color. I also like the length and the gathers on the sides. I like that they have ruched sides without the need for drawstrings.
I was intrigued by the "Borocay" outfit because of the pretty bra. This is another three-piece set that sells for $69.95 and comes with the Havana cover up, Moro short, and Ayni sports bra.
I really like the back of the Ayni bra. The delicate straps would look pretty with a loose or back-less tank top. I also like the ruching on the shoulders. The top (depending on the material) looks like it would also make a nice causal top too. I would pair it with a bikini top and half-tuck it with denim cutoffs, and style it with a braided leather belt, long necklace, and leather cuff.
The only thing I didn't like about this outfit is the material looks inconsistent in color. It appears that they used different material in the shorts and sports bra, and the shorts don't look as saturated. It's a shame to have a matching bra that technically doesn't match.
I looved the printed capri pants in the "Aruba" outfit! This three-piece set is $59.95 and comes with the Aventura tank, Sevan bra, and printed Lima capri.
I didn't get this outfit because I honestly didn't need another Sevan Bra. I have two and that's enough bras I need without padding. They also didn't have a lot of color options for the Aventura tank. There was only black and white in my size so I ruled this outfit out.
I ended up ordering the "Barbados" outfit after some heavy deliberation. This is a three-piece outfit that retails to subscribers for $49.95 and comes with the Oula tank, Koia bra, and Suva Run Shorts.
I just ordered the Suva shorts two months ago and thought the fit was nice. I thought the Oula tank was similar to Lululemon's Cool Racerback, but it might be closer to their Swiftly Tank. When I looked at the back, it was made with seamless material. I could pick between purple and mint julep so I picked purple. Mint looks close to Lululemon's angel blue, and the purple was a little darker than other tanks I have.
I mainly ordered this outfit because of the bra. I loved the print and thought the back was really cute. I did notice that the material on the bra looks a a little lighter than the shorts, but I still will get a lot of use out of both. I'll probably pair the bra with my solid leggings and a loose top.
I have really liked Fabletics as a cheap alternative to Lululemon/Athleta/Lorna Jane. I would say the quality isn't AS GOOD as those premium brands, but the quality is MUCH better than Target. I would compare this to Old Navy with slightly better quality and cuter options.
Right now you can try your first outfit for $25...its a great deal so I definitely recommend you at least try it once. I personally like this month because there are so many cute combinations. If you do decide to give them a try, I would really appreciate it if you used my referral link! Your help allows me to purchase more orders in the future so I can provide honest, un-filtered feedback on the quality and fit of the items.
So that's it! I have a few waves of posts this week. I have Fabletics for June. I'll try to post it tonight or tomorrow. My Ivivva package should be arriving today and I have my FabFitFun Summer Box arriving tomorrow.
Sorry for the brief "vacay"...I never know when I'm going to step away from my blog or for how long. Sometimes I just need a break. I take what seems like a short time off and it ends up being over a week. My mom was in town this past weekend. We went to Gettysburg on Saturday and then to George Washington's Mount Vernon on Sunday. We were so exhausted at the end of the weekend! I took two days off this week and spent it on some much needed ME time since I was running around all weekend.
No big Lululemon items this week...but I almost pulled the trigger on camo Inspire crops. I'm really not a huge camo fan, but those are really starting to grow on me...especially since they are Inspires (and Inspires are my jam!). I did order the Hotty Hot shorts in angel wing:
I didn't like them at first, but they really grew on me after I saw some local store photos! Plus, it's another print that will go with a bunch of solid tanks. I love the Hotty Hot shorts so I was sold.
Did you guys order anything this week?
