Some early product alert emails are coming out today showing the new color ‘Cool Breeze’ and returning color (or lighter version) ‘Raspberry Glow Light’. I really like the cute little Festival Bag but I just got two new purses so I really, really can’t justify getting a nylon bag now.
Swiftly SL in Raspberry Glow Light, Pizazz with Pizzaz Energy Bra, Run: Speed Short SE (waterproof pocket and higher rise).
I’m half tempted to sell my Pinkalicious Energy Bra in order to get the Pizzaz. I really like how this orange pairs with pinks.
Run: Inspire Crop II SE
I think these are all black and the SE is just the waterproof pocket and higher rise.
Pizzaz No Limit Tank and Pacesetter skirt (not sure the pale blue Cool Breeze) with Pizzaz Contrasting
New Groovy Multi Stripe Bang Buster
Run: Mod Moves Short Sleeves
No Limit Tank in Cool Breeze/Groovy Stripe Multi
A US store just posted this outfit showing the *Ribbed Pinkelicious Cool Racerback Tank paired with the Work It Out Shorts. Last year, I didn’t get the ribbed CRB but I kind of regret not having gotten the really pretty black/dark grey one which had a bit of shimmer to it. They ended up getting marked down too and I still didn’t pick one up.
Yesterday I decided to return my Power Purple/Aquamarine Striped CRB in favour of these Charcoal Wunder Under Crops. I liked the CRB fine and was going to keep it but decided the crops are just a bit more special and rare (made in Canada and a rare colour!), and since I had my Contempo Jacket price adjustment it didn’t hurt my wallet at all.
My store was already completely sold out of these crops except for a size 12 (they had been released the day prior at 10am!!) and so I picked up the last pair and drove over to another store to see if I could swap them out and that store also only had one pair left which happened to be my TTS, size 8. I’ve heard a lot of people have sized up in these since they do fit snugger and are more compressive, but I’ve also heard people that sized up where later finding the waist slipping down on them constantly.
These are 41% Nylon with 42% Polyester and 17% Lycra so they do have a bit of stretch to them, but not as much as you may find on solid colored WU’s with zero polyester. Wearing them around I definitely found they relaxed a bit with the mechanical stretch. My TTS is perfect and compressive and although I get a bit of muffin top, they stay in place at my waist enough that I could do a Crossfit workout in these no problem. People at my gym really don’t care if I have muffin top anyways. Also, it’s funny that I found the 12’s really showed my imperfections (cellulite) while the more compressive 8’s smoothed everything over. They are completely opaque as well with bend over squat test so I think I would have ultimately regretted sizing up in these.
Another thing to note is that the old static charcoal pants that lululemon used to make ALL the time, where notorious pillers between the legs. I think I had static charcoal still shorts that where incredibly pilly between the legs. I’m hoping these wear better, because I really hate having to be precious about my gym gear.
I think these will be uploaded Monday night, and they will probably sell out pretty quick. My advise is to try your TTS. They will feel snug coming on but once they are on they feel comfortable on, and they relax a bit.
Looks like a new shipment of No Limit Tanks arrived in some stores today. New Pizzaz orange is really nice, and there is a new print on the bottom which looks like it’s Groovy Stripe Multi. I’d love to get CRB’s in both the new Groovy Stripe prints. The bottom right picture looks like a black version of the twiggy print but it may just be Soot Light.

That contrasting on the back of the hood looks really strange to me.

Coal Wunder Under Crops
New heathered charcoal Wunder Unders have hit stores today and they have everyone pretty excited as they are heathered and buttery soft, AND made in Canada. According to reports, the fit is slightly tighter than regular wunder unders. No definitive word yet on how/if they are sheer. One reader said they showed lumps and bumps, another said they smoothed everything out
