Lululemon Store Visit - Bordeaux Drama!

I had some downtime in between my golf lesson and trapeze on Saturday so I decided to stop in  one of my local Lululemon stores. I'm using one of the mirrors in the Free People store, but I was wearing my Lorna Jane Oceania Excel Tank and Athleta Chatarunga Capri in Blueberry. It was a little bright and a little too much ombre.....but it's the end of summer :).

I ended up taking back my tie dye Swiftly short sleeve and my heathered brusied berry Tuck and Flow.

Diamond Dot Wunder Under Pants, size 6

 The first thing I tried on was the Wunder Under Pants in Diamond Dot Bordeaux Drama. There have been some reports of these pants being sheer, but mine were not sheer at all (keep in mind Lululemon does have quality issues and various batches can different in sheerness). They did run really loose. I wish they had a size 4 in stock to try, but I could only try the size 6. They were really stretchy and thin, but they were NOT sheer. Very opaque and there was no shadows or bumps showing in the back. The dot print did make them appear slightly shiny, but it was just the print of the diamond dot. Maybe the thinness of the material makes people think they were sheer? I don't know....I really liked them. I thought they were soft and really comfortable. They'll be a great casual pair to have in the fall. I plan on wearing them with my Frye boots.

Unity Pullover in Heathered White, size 4

I tried the Unity pullover in heathered white, and I was not impressed. It looked nice in the front and decent in the back far away, but it was a hot mess in the back when you were up close. The tencel material wrinkled terribly, and I had a huge issue with the fabric not matching. It looked like one half of a shirt in the front and the other in the back. The back was more off white and the front was slightly cream. I did not like it. I think you would really like the Hard Tail Slouch Back pullover if you really like this look but want something better.

Speed Shorts, size 6

 I was surprised that I liked the Wee Wheezy print in the Speed Shorts since I usually don't like heavy black trim on lighter prints. I didn't mind the black print, but I didn't care for the 2-way stretch material. I think I prefer the Hotty Hot shorts to Lululemon's Speed Shorts for short summer shorts.

Speed Shorts, size 6

 Although I didn't want another pair of Speed Shorts, I did like the material of the camo Speeds. It was a silkier 4-way that was much more comfortable than the Wee Wheezy.

Seamlessly Street Crops, size 6

 I tried on the Seamlessly Street Crops in jeweled magenta. This was the first time I tried the crops, and I have to say that I liked the length of these a lot more than the In the Flow Crops. While the color was gorgeous, I did find these a little "shadowy" in the behind area. There were pretty opaque...I couldn't see the tag, but they did seem to show lumps and bumps in the back.

Tie Dye Swiftly Long Sleeve, size 4

 I tried on the tie dye Swiftly in the long sleeve version, and I had to really talk myself out of buying it. I already had the tank and short sleeve version so I really didn't need this one! I did like it though! :)

In the Flow Crops, size 6

I did like my first pair of In the Flow Crops! I've had such terrible luck with these! Although I would love these in the Seamlessly Street Crop length, the Bordeaux Drama color is gorgeous. It was odd...the tag showed when I was standing up, but they were not sheer at all! So odd! I bent over and everything...nothing showed! They also were dark enough there was no weird shadows or bumps showing in the back. Even though the tag slightly showed, I had no issues buying these...they didn't appear sheer at all.

Wunder Under Pants in Heathered Slate, size 6

The Wunder Under Pants in Heathered Slate were true to size and really soft. Not as soft as practice cotton but softer than the Bordeaux Drama ones I just tried on. I would wear this color a lot in the crop version, but I'm worried about the sweat showing. I did a water test on the pants, and a tiny bit of water was already showing. They were better in terms of opaqueness than the practice cotton. I tried on the light grey a few months ago and they showed a lot in the rear. I liked them, but I'm a little worried about sweat. Let's be honest...Lululemon doesn't have the best return policy when it comes to performance AFTER you rip off the tags. :( 

You know you love your new crops when you rip the tags off and replace them with the crops you are already wearing. I bought the We the Free Sunkissed Tee in Night at Free People and wore them both to my trapeze class. Although I would have liked a longer length, they were really comfortable for my lesson. I think I might resell these if they end up releasing Bordeaux Drama Seamlessly Street Crops.

I also got the Diamond Dot Wunder Under Pants in Bordeaux Drama! I loved both the pants and crops in this color I couldn't choose! I figured I would wear the Wunder Unders for causal wear and the In the Flows for workouts. You also know you're a LuluAddict when your nail polish matches Lululemon's latest color pallet!

I like this color SO much more than plum. I'll do a side by side comparison of plum, bordeaux drama, and YogaSmoga klarit red when I get back. I just flew out to Indiana yesterday, and I will be back Wednesday morning!
