For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and typically a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms and tops. In some cases I can size down in outerwear.
The colors are not as vibrant in person as you see on the website. They are definitely more muted in real life. Even so, I love the print so much I am keeping these. It's too bad I have to wait a few months before I can wear them!
Next up I finally found a size 2 in the chrome Non-Stop Bomber Jacket that's reversible. I know I'm super late in the game for this jacket. I missed out on it last year and waited almost too long to get it this year. This jacket I was able to size down to a 2. It's also loose enough for me to layer underneath it.
The sleeves are a little long but not too long that it bothers me. The style is a bit boxy and shapeless and actually kind of makes me look a little pregnant when zipped up! I do think this would look better on someone who is taller than I am. The color is a silver platinum that isn't too shiny. The contrasting hem is a pale lavender that works really well with the chrome.
On the reverse side of the bomber is pale lavender in color. It has an interesting texture that reminds me of crinkled paper almost. It's a little hard to describe. Between the two sides I prefer the dark chrome.
The dark chrome side does not have pockets but the pale lavender side does. Overall it's a cute jacket and definitely worth the money. You get two jackets for the price of one. As of right now the dark chrome is sold out online, but black and dark olive are still available. I tried on the black a few weeks ago at the store and also liked that one but prefer the dark chrome the most.
That's all for me! Hope everyone has a great weekend! My holiday part is tomorrow night and on Sunday I have a wrestling show to go to. That should be interesting! It'll be my first wrestling show ever.

Zara jeans- (old) similar here.
Ooh, I like it on you! Now you're inspiring me to order to try (in both chrome & olive to see which colour I prefer)...
ReplyDeleteIf you do order let me know what you think of the olive.
Deletei've been holding out on buying this because i'm trying to be good! I've been eyeing the olive like Cee above - if I end up pulling the trigger, will definitely let you know what i think. It looks fabulous on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Yes definitely let me know what you think. I always love hearing feedback.
DeleteI just received my radiant speeds in the mail. I wish I saw your post before I ordered them lol 😩I will keep them- they are still pretty and galactic-like which I love. Usually i go to a store to pick the best pattern placement and see real life colors but I didn’t this time. Might not have bought them in store but I’m mostly disappointed how misleading the photos are on lululemon website. They’re so vibrant on the site. It’s my first pair of speed ups and hopefully I can like them like the old fit!!! I have to wait til warmer weather also haha. Thanks for all your great reviews and photos!!
ReplyDeleteIt is quite annoying how the photos on the website are misleading. I've found that to be true ever since they started posting high contrast pictures. I've returned a few items because of the color being disappointing in real life.
