Lulu Lemon

Within the last year and a half I have become obsessed with Lululemon, and that might be an understatement. I didn't even know what Lulu was before moving to Seattle, but I learned real quick after seeing it everywhere. Plus, all of my friends in Crossfit live and die by this workout designer, and it didn't take long for me to jump on the bandwagon for cute workout and casual attire. I thought it was all overpriced until I started shopping at the fabulous outlet, bought a few too many items, and now it's just history!!

Not only did I drive 45 minutes to get to the outlet, but I have spent the last hour going back and forth with these amazing hoodies below being indecisive on which one to purchase. Trust me, I would LOVE to buy them all, and it doesn't help that my amazing husband tells me to buy at least two even after he knows how much they cost. I wish he wasn't supportive of my shopping (weird right?) because it means I have to hold myself accountable.





I was a good girl and left with only one needed hoodie and a fun sports bra ..... Seattle has definitely cooled down to chilly evenings and my new gear will get some much needed use!

*** Thanks Verizon for handy picture text messaging!!!  Here is how the convo went like after sending my bestie in Texas all of these pictures ....

-Abby: Umm, do you workout in long sleeve stuff??

-Me: Ohhhh yes and wear it out on friday nights, too! This stuff is ridiculously cool here.

-Abby: Interesting

I don't think she is sold on it! Although, she was interested when I told her it keeps her "swass" from showing!!  Are there any Lulu lovers out there???

    Thanks for sharing!

  8. Lots of Canadians where I live and they love their Lulu. A friend of mine is opening a yoga studio/Lulu shop soon. I really love karma and it's priced a bit better than tonic or Lululemon. I also love pink lotus. I've been quite lazy of late though, so haven't been purchasing much :( I can see why it's popular in Seattle. Cute stuff! I love the first one. :)

  9. Okay Kelsey...I am going to have to click over and check out that sportswear! It looks too cute on you! So you guys on the EASTSIDE must really deck out if people in your Crossfit classes are wearing such stylish-hip things to workout! Which one did you get. Greg does me the same way about supporting my shopping habits...and I have to resist...especially now that I am not working. My big weakness is BODEN! Check out their coats...oh me! Do you get my responses to your comments on my blog? I hope so. Happy Night!

  12. girl, i second abby (although she does as well)...i'd be buying it if i had a rockin body like yours!

    love all your posts on so many fun topics!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yeah... I don't work out as much as I should (I blame it on the obscene amount of reading we have to do...) but I love wearing comfy clothes to class. I think all of this would qualify!! And I might look a bit cuter than I do in my sweat pants and baggy sweatshirts!

  14. I found you tonight and loved your blog...and of course loved that you were from Texas! Yay for new blog friends :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. I wish we had these on the East Coast. Love. It. I'm def one of those girls that will try to wear my workout girl out on Friday night...and then again Saturday morning;)

    Big fan of the 3rd one. Which one did you pick?

  16. We don't have any good Lulu stuff in the midwest.... so so depressing, especially after I see how long those hoodies are! Now I am dying to find the closest outlet...

    ReplyDelete
  17. I've never heard of that store :(
    I must check it out! All those are super cute, which one did you get?

    ReplyDelete
  18. I love love love Lulu! I drive two hours to get to my closest one! And it's well worth it! I wear about 10 different workout ensembles every week for my job (between all the sweaty changes) so I've worn my fair share of workout wear! And Lulu is. the. best!

  26. I love Lululemon, but it doesn't love my wallet!

    ReplyDelete
  27. SO CUTE! I think I need one of those-I can justify buying pretttty much anything. I convince myself I'd work out more with cuter workout clothes. Yeah. You look adorable in all of them! Which one did you decide on?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ummm, LuLuLemon OUTLET? I have never heard of such a thing!! There's one right across from the only Anthropolgie in Houston down here and I was planning on going to both stores tomorrow...I really only wanted the 10 dollar reusable bag, but now I might reconsider...those hoodies are so, so cute!

    ReplyDelete
  29. So this stuff is So cute! I would have had such a tough time cause they are all equally cute. With getting more and shape and after loosing all the weight its SO much fun to shop for cute workout clothes, I LOVE it! I just might have to check this stuff out myself! Thanks for sharing!
