Non-Lululemon Outfit of the day

Hello everyone! This is what I wore to the gym! Shockingly, nothing is Lululemon. The shirt is something I bought in China while I was there a couple of summers ago. The crops are from Zulily and are by Mono B Activewear. These leggings are 81% Nylon (comparable to the composition of Lulu leggings), and were one of the few items I found by Mono B that had a lot of Nylon, rather than Polyester. They performed well and are really comfortable. I know, all the animal print is kind of loud- but all that color makes me smile!

I also want to shout out that I just started an instagram account and I would really love to follow you on there! Follow me @lululemonexpert and I’ll follow you back!

Lululemon OOTD

Hello again!

It’s good to (finally!) have more time to write!

Here I am at my local Planet Fitness!


I’m wearing my Define jacket in Space Dye Twist Dark Slate Fatigue Green and Real Quick crops in Deep Green.

I’ve been really diggin green lately for some reason. Am I subliminally picking up on a fashion trend I’m expected to notice by advertisers? Or are my preferences for girly colors like pink & purple just changing? Hmmm… Something to ponder, I guess…

What are you diggin this season? What winter items are you most excited to wear? For me, I definitely can’t wait to wear my Stress Less Hoodies.

Lululemon OOTD

Hello everyone!

I haven’t done one of these in a while, but I just wanted to stay in touch, so I thought it would be fun to reconnect with an OOTD!

Here I am at the local Planet Fitness in my Inspire Tights II in power luxtreme spray jacquard hunter green black/black and a Tofino Teal Sculpt Tank.

Thanks for Visiting!

Lululemon OOTD #85

Hello everyone! Happy Monday! I thought it would be fun to do a quick post, even though I’ve been pretty busy lately!

Here’s my favorite outfit right now!


I love to match! Here we have a Free To Be *Wild bra in Lullaby Ray Space Dye Twist and matching Wunder Under Crops. I am also wearing a Lullaby 105 F singlet. On my feet, as usual, are some Vibrams! I actually get a ton of questions about these & usually just tell people that I like them- but in reality, I love them so much I even wrote a whole post about them!

 

Lululemon OOTD #83

Hello everyone!

I’m still trying to keep the trend I started after posting my review of the Pleat To Street skirt by posting Pleat To Street skirt OOTDs. I love these things.

This is one of those tops I got at Macy’s. They’re super cute and they all have positive messages on them. This Pleat To Street skirt is in the color floral backdrop black multi/black.
And Here are my nails, just because. LOL

Blogging Goals- Updated

So, I was chatting with a friend a few days ago, and he does ‘computer stuff,’ a line of employment I wish I understood better, and he suggested I use WordPress plugins to share my posts automatically with audiences on other platforms like Facebook and Twitter. I figure that these are things I should probably already be doing, frankly, but I just haven’t taken the time. Well, I guess that changes today.

In my “Last Post of the Year,” published yesterday, I posted some preliminary goals, and I quote: “writing more individual item posts, writing an update post to my post(s) about Victoria’s Secret and La Senza, continuing to always provide updates on my New Year’s Resolutions, and to continue to post OOTDs.”

I’m going to add my friend’s idea of using Twitter and Facebook to (hopefully) reach a wider audience, or at least help make it easier for people who already enjoy my blog to read it. In addition, last year, even though I didn’t really post to Facebook, the largest number of referrals actually came from Facebook. This must mean that people are sharing my posts on Facebook. Wow. Very flattering. Thanks to everyone who shares my posts!

Anyways, I hope you come follow me on your social platform of choice.

Thank YOU for being here and My Last Post of the Year

Hello everyone, at the end of every year, I try to think about this blog in terms of my readers, and how I can improve this blog in the new year. I really love blogging. I think it’s fun. I love to write- it’s my passion… Well, one of them- I’m a bit of a generalist.

Last year, I wrote this post, and started my Lululemon OOTD Challenge- I made it to outfit 50, and then I just felt like they were getting somewhat repetitive, so I stopped. I still do plenty of OOTD posts, but they’re more sporadic.

This year, I want to, as always, say thank you to my readers- especially those of you who “like” or comment on my posts. Your opinions are extremely valuable and they help me decide on what I should be writing. WordPress is great, and they tell you to pay attention to your analytics to see what your audience is looking for. But what guides me the most are the interactions I have with people who read my posts and ask questions.

There have been quite a few times when someone has asked me a question (in the comments) or left me a comment and that has resulted in a post as a result of that question or comment. In the linked example, @AddictedToInk asked me to clarify what I meant by Paying as Gift or Goods on PayPal. I had started to respond to her in the comments, but the reply was forever long and I ended up creating this post instead.

In a more recent example, Michele told me that she finds single item reviews like this one (about the Pleat To Street) most helpful since she does her Lulu shopping online. So, I wrote another individual item post (about the Base Runners). I intend to continue to write individual piece items and give fit reviews as I do think that they help people decide where to spend their hard-earned cash.

The year before that, I wrote this post as my final post of the year. In that post I talked about my top 5 items of the year. I think I’ll do that again! It’s just too fun to look back and see that I still use all my old favorites and continue to enjoy them.

My top 5 this year, in no specific order are:

Stress Less Hoodie in Bordeaux Drama, Vent It Out crop in Space Dye Twist Ultra Violet Multi/Naval Blue, Pigment Wave Speed Shorts, Retreat Dress in Heathered Black Cherry, and Moody Mirage Define Jacket.

The Stress Less hoodies are so comfy & slouchy, plus Bordeaux Drama is one of my favorite colors. The Pigment Wave craze was inescapable, and its similarity to Unicorn Tears drew me in. I was happy with these Speed shorts and the pattern distribution when I received them. So fancy! I am really enjoying the Vent it Out crops. The stripes line up, which is nice, but they also function well and never ride up or fall down when I work out in them. For casual wear, my Retreat Dress has served me well. I wore it several times during the summer- practically lived in it- and the Light Luon fabric is perfect for the hottest days. As for the Moody Mirage Define jacket, I absolutely LOVE Define jackets, and was so sad when they discontinued them and so happy when they brought them back! They haven’t come out with too many pretty colors since they were re-released. I liked the cranberry colored one, but it had the snake print on it, so I didn’t pick it up. This is actually the only Define jacket I’ve purchased since they re-released them. I’d love to see a bright green or purple, but what’s come out so far has either been too similar to items I already own, or has been in neutrals.

It was SUPER hard to choose just 5 items, but all of these are unique and I feel that they merit “favorite” status. I also considered choosing Fuel Green Base Runners and my Ultra Violet Pleat To Street skirt, but I’ve written individual articles on both of these (linked) and thought they had had enough of the spot light 🙂

WordPress also suggests that you make “blogging goals” for the following year. So, I guess my blogging goals for next year will be writing more individual item posts, writing an update post to my post(s) about Victoria’s Secret and La Senza, continuing to always provide updates on my New Year’s Resolutions, and to continue to post OOTDs.

I hope y’all can give me some more ideas on what you’d like to see and what I should be writing about. I’d be so happy to hear from you! What do you think of this blog? How could it be better?

I really can’t thank you all enough for reading.

 

Lululemon OOTD #82

Hello everyone! Here’s another of my Pleat To Street skirts! I’m doing this OOTD series featuring them “en hommage” to my review post of them that I wrote just in case you saw them on mark down or on eBay and needed to see if they’re something you’d be interested in.
