Accidentally Continuing The Undergarments Trend!

     No pants, revealing undergarments barely there coverage is completely in vogue right now (for many designers).  Poor Lululemon just isn't one of them.  Last week Lululemon stores across the country were frantically pulling yoga pants off their shelves left and right.  But, why?  Well, they were completely see through.  This was quite an upset in the athletic and fashion world because who wants to pay $100 for a pair of pants that show all your goods!  I think it is safe to assume that when women are deep into downward dog the last things they want showing are their sweat-consumed undergarments.  But, that is just a guess (and an educated one at that!)  This upset led Lulu to recall their luon pants with the unhappy result of some $12 to $17 million in lost revenues.  Like any reputable brand, Lulu has handled this with grace and is allowing customers to return the items and get their money back.  Shame, Lulu tried to keep up with the big dogs and missed by a mile!




You can't win them all!

Walk. Jog. Run. Sprint.

     I think all of us fashionistas can admit that we are always (and I use that term lightly) trending, in style, keeping up with the Jones (or Kardashian's), so to speak.  Having said all that, it is only natural for us to be "trending" while working out, right?  Women spend all this time contemplating their appearance for their various different roles they play in life.  Such as working, socializing, exercising and some even when their little fashion minds are dreaming.  Some are a little too concerned about their appearance and for all the wrong reasons, but I am not addressing those women right now.  I'm crediting those whose minds solely generate their appearances on the love of fashion itself.  
     Now, back to the part where I discussed exercising.  Exercise, that eight letter word that most people dread to participate in and that others spring from the sheets and start their day off with.  As I got to thinking about my blog for the day, I was pondering about athletic fashion.  I know there is a huge market out there for those few people (although, the urge for exercise is growing) who love to workout and look fashionable.  There is no reason to be held back from being trendy even when you have sweat dripping down your face (but, women don't sweat, they glisten).  My point of the day is that you can be fashionable when and where ever you please.  There is yet to be a law on clothing and until that day arrives, embrace it!









All of these articles of athletic clothing come from Lululemon Athletica, one of my favorite athletic wear companies.  

Work out for me!
