This is the Heathered Aquamarine Cool Racerback with the Arise Bra in Inkblot print underneath it. The Heathered Aquamarine is quite pale in this picture, almost white. I’ll be interested to see it in person. I’m heading to my store today to see if I can grab the Transition Wrap in a size up so I will be sure to post if my store got any new Cool Racerback Tanks today.

There will be a few fashion forward people that will rock these. But for the rest of us, these are just hideous.

I’ve heard these are surprisingly not so see thru. They also look really flattering on a variety of shapes. I however will not be tempted by these as they are definitely attention grabbing.
I’m thinking of ordering the 10 on tonights upload. I’m just torn on the sizing still and need to try them both on again with no screaming toddler rushing me into a decision. I’ll definitely keep one or the other though.
I’m really sad that the fit of this pullover didn’t look great on me. I love the color and wish it had been more like the Chai Time II pullover.
another look at both sides of this ‘reversible’ sweater.
I’d maybe like to try this one on. Initially I wasn’t at all interested in it but it does look sort of cute and cozy.
Haven’t tried this one on yet but I’d really like to. The sheer luon is just gorgeous in the Deep Indigo.
Lots of photos of the latest here and in no particular order. I’m rather lazy today and I’m sorry about that. Also, I decided not to include pictures of the It’s Happening Johdpur Pants since there are so many other pictures to post. You’re not disappointed, are you? The more pictures I see of the Transformation Wrap the more I think I should have stuck to my TTS. I’m so short though that the length was overwhelming on me in the size 10. I dunno, I’m no help to you. I think I need to sleep on it myself.

Today my store got a shipment in of most of the latest items we’ve seen in pictures over the weekend. I was very excited to try on the Transformation Wrap in Deep Indigo, and I LOVE it but I’m also a bit torn on the sizing and the different options on how to wear it. Hence, the overkill on pictures for today. Hopefully you’ll find it helpful for the upload later tonight (around 12am pacific).
The size 10 Transformation Wrap was quite voluminous in fabric and length. It was especially roomy in the arms for me but I also thought the upper back was quite roomy. I’m a TTS 10 however I also have petite proportions so 10’s in sweaters and wraps often feel quite roomy on me and I tend to size down to an 8 with the Gratitude Wrap, Scuba Hoodie and other knit wraps. Because of the tulip shaped bottom hem on this sweater though, I liked the way the size 10 overlaped closed over my hips while the 8 had to be arranged more in order to overlap.
It took me a long time to finally decide on the size 8, and in the meantime I earned some stink eye on my way out due to my tantrumy, screaming almost 2 year old. So sorry if you had to endure that with me today.

In order to wear it closed like in this picture you need to pull the strings in the back up and then wrap them around to your front and tie them closed. For it to look nice you really need to pull out some excess fabric over the top and let it drape a bit otherwise it looks silly. TTS there was an awful lot of overlap and baggyness at the bust when I closed it. You also lose functionality of the big pockets on this depending on how you choose to wear it. Uncinched in the back, the pocket placement is perfect. Cinched in the back and the pockets travel a bit -still useable but slightly awkward placement. When you tie the back drawstiring around the front you also have to arrange the pockets so that they are more towards the front and sort of like a grandpa cardigan pocket.

This is the size 8, left open and to the sides. The wide lapel has a folded crease in it for a nice placement but I’m afraid you would lose that upon first wash.

Reverse side is fun and funky but also busy with the really, really wide Dark Indigo Lapel. I’d probably wear it this way out if I also belted it with a real belt. I do like it though so I can see myself wearing it this way sometimes but my preference is the Deep Indigo side out. No pockets on this side.

It surprised me how large the size 10 Yin Me Pullover was. I did like it but it’s a bit shorter so I can’t size down to an 8 due to my very freakishly long torso and I also think it’s meant to fit quite slouchy. I like that this has a cuffed hem on it but since it’s such a big fit you don’t really see the cuffed hem detail. You can wear the V neck in the front or back as long as you don’t use the thumbholes.

Although its reversible, as you can see in this picture, the difference in sides is almost unnoticeable.

Sorry for the dirty mirror. Its nearly impossible to keep this mirror fingerprint free with toddlers. Oopsies! Anyhow, I came home with the size 8 and had to try it on again to be sure. I do prefer the sizing on the 8 I just wish there was slightly more hip clearance. Thats my only issue with the size 8. The 10 was more comfortable over my Cabin LS tee but the 8 was still doable and I likely wouldn’t double up on long sleeves like that anyways. I think if you need to chose a size without trying it on (I do suggest you try on first if you can) go with your TTS. TTS will look fine, although roomy and slouchy. If you go down a size it may work, especially if you have narrower hips than I, but then you may have issues with the snugness in the arms which is typical of lulu knits. I don’t have issues with the arm width in these but I also don’t have big muscles or wider shoulders to contend with and I also find the knits loosen up over time. If you size down in the Gratitude Wrap then you can probably size down in this one.

See, there is more of a gap on the bottom of this one when closed and tied shut.
you can see here in the size 8 there is still a lot of fabric in profile.
closeup of it closed. You may be able to see how I’ve arranged the pockets to be more in the front and I untucked the wrap a bit.

This is getting ridiculous. Indigo is now the 4th color in a row that is having problems with bleeding. Paris Pink, Flash, Pigment Blue have had enough problems that lululemon has provided a warning sticker on all those items and they have also stated on their facebook page that they will return any items in those colors, a carte blanche return on items in those colors! This is a problem. This is not a matter of simply caring for your athletic clothing differently this is lululemon manufacturers using cheap dyes instead of better quality dyes that do not bleed like this.

Word is that the Yin Me Pullover is priced at $98 which really surprises me considering how similar it is to the Chai Time II Pullover. Both are reversible but the Chai is priced at $138. I’m definitely NOT complaining about that. NOT COMPLAINING, lulu! A reader that tried it on said the length is not butt covering and she’s a petite 5’2. The Aquamarine blue you see in the picture below reverses to a lighter version of the same color where as the Indigo reverses to an Indigo/White stripe.
I really love both the Yin Me Pullover and the Transformation Wrap but as much as I’d like to have both I think I’m going to have to pick just one for now. I’m sure the rest of the month is going to have a lot of items I love in new colors so I want to wait and see and not blow my budget at the start of the month. For now I think I will get the Transformation Wrap since I love the pockets and the long slouchy fit. It really reminds me of the Aritzia Batwing Wrap that can be worn upside down for a shorter look or right side up for a long butt covering wrap. The Lululemon version is much, much nicer though and I’m really excited that it comes in Deep Indigo.
Oh snap!! Another knit I need to have. I hate that two items I love came out within the same week. This is the Yin Me Pullover and it has a v-neck in the back which I think you can wear on the front as well AND it’s reversible to a different color. It’s made out of tencil silk and cashmere. I think this is aquamarine blue and I’m told by an educator that it is also coming in Black and Deep Indigo. Deep Indigo shown below.
