Layering CRBs

I don't know about you guys, but when I am running, jumping, squatting, and lunging, my tanks need to be yanked back into place constantly. No big deal. But the other night at my class I was wearing 2 CRBs layered. Guess what? They stayed in place! I couldn't believe the difference. So if you're looking for a reason to justify another Lulu purchase...
Today I'm sporting my Heathered Dewberry and Flare Tonka Stripe CRBs, Angel blue Energy Bra, Black Swan Strike Tight, and my Raspberry Mizuno Wave Creations.

Outfit of the Day

I love bright colors! That must be pretty obvious by now. And I love unexpected combinations. Today I am wearing my Beaming Blue CRB, Angel blue Energy bra, Paris Pink Define, and my Splits59 Piper crops.

Moving Comfort vs. Lululemon, Sports Bras

I know a lot of women can pick up a $15 sports bra at Target and it does everything they need. I am not one of those women. I have some major boob-age. I am 36DD right now ( I am still nursing, so things will shrink eventually!) and I need a piece of engineering to hold me in, up, and wick sweat away.
Enter Lululemon's Ta-Ta Tamer. Up until a few months ago, this was the most supportive bra I owned. I love that it can be worn with the straps straight or crossed, and the color options for this style are usually pretty fun. I have it in Porcelain Blue from last spring. It does tend to work its way down in my classes, and I end up showing more cleavage then I would like to. If you are a nursing mom, it does stretch down to allow you to feed your child. It comes with cups for more coverage, but they are too small for my chest and look ridiculous when I've tried them. I know that others love the cups and can't live without them! The strap adjusters do dig into my back if I wear them crossed. But this thing wicks sweat away like nobody's business.
I had heard of Moving Comfort and that their sports bras were supposed to be great. But the colors were blah and they were never in any stores near me. But REI opened up here last year, and I was able to try on their Rebound Racer bra. It is sized like the Ta-Ta Tamer with real bra sizing. I got a 36D, and it fits great. The Velcro straps in front let you customize the level of support, and the hooking strap in the back adds even more support. I looked in the mirror in the dressing room when I tried it out and screamed! My boobs were smaller! I could jump and run and they were staying in place! So for $50 each, I now own 2 of these. In boring grey, I might add. I would love if they came in lovely and vivid colors. My only complaint is that they don't wick sweat very well. But I am wearing these for 1-2 hours for a very intense bootcamp, so I am a sweaty mess by the end anyway.
All in all, I am reaching for my Moving Comfort bras first.

I Cheated.

I decided to try a new athletic company (gasp!). Splits59 is based in Cali, made in the USA, and they had an amazing sale last week. So I decided to take a risk and order some crops from a company that I've never tried. But for $48, it seemed like a less pricey risk than others.
I got them in the mail yesterday and I ....drumroll please... love them! They fit sooo differently on me than the pic on the website. Clearly, this woman has little dancer legs and these are a more relaxed fit on her. I have very muscular legs and they are not small, but I really like how they ended up looking on me. My sister noticed them right away and commented how cute she thought they were. The waistband is wide and very comfortable. It's similar to the Groove or Gather and Crow waist. The fabric is nice, and I really love that I can brush off carpet fuzz! I really hate having to use a lint roller on my fuzzy Luon. All in all, I would definitely try more pieces from Splits59 and I am already dreaming about this beautiful blue cardigan I saw on their website. I should mention that I paid for these and Splits59 did not ask me to review them. I just wanted to share a good experience with a lulu-esque brand.
Sadly, these Piper Crops are sold out and no longer available. But they do have their new spring collection online now!

Paris Pink Define!

So last year I fell in love with the brightest pink ever. Paris pink, to be exact. And it was a bleeder. Not so much the heathered version, but solid Luon was a hot mess. So, after all of the bleeding, returns being denied then accepted, and a quite a few new varieties of pink in Lululand, all things Paris Pink are selling for BANK on eBay. As in, $240 for a $120 jacket.
That being said, I scored a define on eBay for $85! Amazing! And I love it. Here's hoping it doesn't bleed all over me.

Ho, Hum.

I went to my local store yesterday to try on some new items. I tried the Ebb and Flow crops that everyone loves so much, and I do not like them. The fabric is kind of spongy and the length is too long for crops in my opinion. They looked no where near as flattering as my Groove crops.
I also tried the Skinny Will pant, and while I liked the fit in general, the pocket detailing drew too much attention to my hip area. Easy pass.
I did love the Straight to the Studio pant, but the Luon on the backside was so thin! I try and steer clear of bump city.
I ended up buying a pair of Hang loose pants off of eBay. I hope they fit!
