Dance Studio Crops White, Black Citron Tinted Canvas Cool Racerback Tank

Dance Studio Crops White

I was unsure that I would like the White Dance Studio Crops but just this weekend I found myself  regretting not getting the Coal ones that were out last month and are now long gone so I decided to try these ones on today and was surprised at how much I liked white pants paired. I tried it on with my Iris Aura Jacket and later when I got home tried it on with my Wren and Snorkel Modern Racer Tanks and the combination looks really nice with both. I think I’ve decided to stick with them in a size 10. My other Dance Studio Crops and Pants are size 8 and in darker colors I prefer the 8 but I think since these are lined and a bit sheer I’m better off with a bit of room.

Surge Blue that I posted about yesterday is now in Canadian stores in CRB’s. I didn’t see this Cool Racerback Tank at Coquitlam today but it may have not been unpacked just yet. I’m kind of funny picky about teal blues. I hated Lagoon and passed on Teal (later regretted passing on Teal) but I love this Surge Blue. It seems to have much more blue then green unlike the other teals. Surge reminds me of Stitch and if this comes in Heathered Surge I will be purdy happy.

Here it is on different materials

These weren’t unpacked yet when I went to the store but I would have loved to have seen Heathered Wren in Luon. These are gorgeous!

Light grey pique sounds tempting!

Surge Blue

Surge Blue with Toothpaste

I’ve heard from several educators that we will be seeing a new long sleeve manifesto print. I have a feeling it’s this Manifesto Message In a Bottle print that just came in a product alert. I like this manifesto so much more then the Snellen Eye Test print we saw in early 2010 in the Manifesto V Neck. I thought I really hated Manifesto Prints in general but it turns out I like it in the more whimsical text. Also, the blue shown below (darker) is called Surge and the light text is toothpaste. I’ve been told by a birdie we will be seeing more items in those colors as well. Can’t wait! I’m really liking that darker blue.

2010 “Fresh Manifesto” Print

or ‘snellen eye test’ print as I liked to call it.

I hated this print and hated the burnout that ripped in every single top before it left the store. 

Energy Bra

I broke down and purchased the Energy Bra in Black on Friday because on my last long run my Deep V Bra caused some rib pain. I think it was because my Deep V Bra has a thick band at the bottom and somehow it was riding between two ribs for most of my run which I didn’t notice until I got home when I realized my ribs were in a lot of pain, especially on inhalation. I tried out my Energy Bra yesterday on my 10 mile run and I’m quite happy with it. What I like most is that it’s luxtreme which I think is the nicest fabric of all for a sports bra, and I really like the back straps. The inner liner of the bra is coolmax which is a wicking jersey like material (same inner liner as the Hustle Jacket). I liked the coolmax but I think I was hoping it would be the same circle mesh liner that’s in the Free to Be bra. In the end I’ve decided I like the Coolmax liner just as much as the circle mesh since they both feel nice against my skin. The support is pretty good, I’m a 36C and don’t require heavy duty support but I found this bra quite compressive in a size 8. My Deep V bra I’m almost certain is a size 10 and is harder to take off when sweaty. 

My negatives with this bra is that it does cause a little bit of back fat on the sides as the back of the band is quite narrow and sits low. I also had a little bit of armpit fat but because I’m using this for running only that is not a deal breaker for me, it just means that I wont be wearing this bra with something that would leave those areas exposed. Overall it’s a good bra with pretty straps for under a Cool Racerback Tank or for layering with other tanks that don’t offer a lot of support. I’ll be using this one for sure at the BMO Vancouver Marathon.
