These beetlejuice pants, as funny as they are I think they are really cute. I can almost guarantee that these will be another ebay sensation just like the quiet stripe WU’s. When those first came out it took a little while for people to warm up to the idea of white WU’s with vertical stripes. However, I think those Quiet Stripe WU’s didn’t have to contend with the camel toe conundrum that is the new gusset. I also know a girl locally that wears the pin striped wunder unders that were in loot forever and they look so awesome on her. If you are intrigued and it’s in budget I say go for them and leave the tags on, wait and see.

I tried on the Intuition Sweater today and I have to say the sweater could have had potential. If only it didn’t have the dumb arm holes at the bottom hem and this wasn’t a multi wear sweater it really did look nice worn like a long cardi. It’s way, way over priced and the amount of ways you can wear it is really limited to three (long cardi, short cardi shown below or vest with sleeves as belt) you can’t even wear it as a wrap unfortunately. I would have preferred a regular long cardi, priced at around $100 and without the gimmick of faux multi wear. Poo!!
I managed to use my weird gift card without a pin # in store today. The lovely Ed didn’t know why I got one that looked like that but it definitely still worked at the till. I picked up the Herringbone WU’s which has a Rose/Alberta Lake/Black inner waistband. The outside of the pants are regular black herringbone. So that solves the mystery as to why they are listed the way they are on the website. I got my TTS, size 10 and they are perfect. I don’t feel like they are a size up item but they are wonderfully compressive and smooths everything out. I found the ankles were a bit tough getting up over my feet but once on they were totally fine and I just folded the hems up.
I also had a look at the two new Cool Racerbacks. The black Macro/Micro striped one felt the same as the black swan/pow pink/pop orange solid Cool Racerbacks. Mostly nylon with a touch of polyester (17% I think it was?). Not soft, but not polyestery either. I like the way these solid CRB’s fit me so it wasn’t a problem but the print didn’t entice me much in person. The other one there was the polar cream/silver slate Micro Macro and it was the same composition.
I tried on the Heart Opener Tank in a size down since that was all that was out at that point and it was super adorable on.TTS will have a nice slouchy fit. Had I seen it in my size (the Alberta Lake one) I would have definitely had an impulse purchase on my hands. I’m glad it wasn’t in though because it’s not something I’ve budgeted for.
Sweater Knit Black Swan Wunder Unders are polyestery, shiny and very, very sheer. trust me, I’ve seen a picture of them and they are sheer city. I just hate the shiny polyestery WU’s too. they have such a weird look to them with that shine that even if they aren’t sheer it does look like you are completely nude. All curves are accentuated with the sheen. No black swan herringbone WU’s where in stock but I think I prefer the basic black anyways.
Not everything from the upload was in store today. I would have loved to have tried on the Clutch Coat or the Run: Turn Around for size. I’m hearing that the Run: Turn Around fits very snug so that is making me really sad. I was going to replace one of my run jackets with the Turn Around but that seems unlikely now.

Intuition Sweater with the Sweater knit WU’s, and Free to Be Tank
Seriously pissed off tonight. I have a gift card I was planning on using (from a return on an item due to a quality issue), and I went all the way to checkout only to discover my card has no pin # on it. Boo!! I went ahead and ordered the Herringbone Wunder Unders I’ve been wanting but they are mislabelled so who knows what I’ll be getting. The picture looks like Herringbone WUs but the label says Black Rose Herrinbone. Maybe they are reversible? I feel cranky about this. I also liked the look of the wool Clutch Coat…but then I looked over at the Run: Turn Around Jacket for just a few dollars more and $178 for a wrap just didn’t add up. Oh…and then I remembered to read up on the ‘why we made this’ on the Turn Around Jacket and despite product alerts and hang tags today stating it is 800 Power Fill (admittedly too good to believe) and it is in fact 650 Power Fill.
*sigh* what did you guys order tonight? did this upload make anyone else this cranky?? Anyone order the Sit and Be Still Pants or the 3X A Lady Jacket??
Oh helz no!! Get the puck out of here with these prices. $128 for a scarf???
Run: Turn Around Jacket in Polar Cream
You can really see the Alberta Lake here. Kinda loving it!!
Run: Back On Track Tank
With the Slim Fit Grooves
Not sure yet if these are lined or not. They may have tempted me but I just don’t like the black contrast on it. Of course I may love them once I see real life pictures but I’m generally not a fan of color blocking.
Run: Turn Around Jacket in Alberta Lake – $198
I had to look really closely at this one to determine it was Alberta Lake but you can tell when you look at the black contrast panels under the arms and on the cuff of the sleeves.
Polar Cream and Black. Also coming in Tender Violet
