Today's drop is very Valentine's Day focused. Lots of pinks and reds. Not really my cup of tea. This might have been the easiest No-Buy Challenge so far. I've been so focused on the move, I haven't had much time to really look at things. Four days to go, but I think I will have to break it because Go Forth Goods is discontinuing one of my favorite leathers on January 31st. 😢 I'm going to place a last minute order with them. In other news, Vuori price increases have arrived. My favorite Vuori Performance joggers are now $110 as is the Halo Modern Hoodie. More details below!
How is everyone doing on their No-Buy, Low-Buy Challenge?
(This is cute, but so cropped though.)
(I like this, but not the logo on the front.)
(Why is this $74?!)
(Okay so this isn't new, but I want to point out that the price went up from $98 to $110.)
(Price is now $68 from $64 I believe.)
(Price increase from $94 to $110!)
New From Frank & Eileen
(My favorite jacket from F&E!)
(Wow, I am in love!)
Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI didn’t make it to the end of the challenge and bought the Always Effortless Jacket in gorgeous Twig before it was completely sold out. Most sizes are still available on the U.S. site so you should be able to get one after the January No Buy Challenge. :)
Not a fan of red but I’m okay with some pinks. I prefer Athleta’s Blush to LLL’s Porcelain Pink.
Everything is getting so expensive and I’m sure retail sales will be badly hit.

Hi Andrea! Do you love the AEJ in Twig? I'm still debating between the Wunder Puff vest or the AEJ... I'm happy I have so many of Vuori's joggers. They should last me a long long time so I don't have to get anymore. But given the increase in prices in pretty much everything these days I just have to be more picky about my purchases.
DeleteI love both my Wunder Puff Jacket and AEJ in Twig. :) Why don’t you order both the AEJ and Wunder Puff Vest to see which one you like better in person? The vest is really cute but the AEJ might be more versatile for your weather.
DeleteAndrea
That's a good idea, I am hoping they're both still available when the challenge is over. If one of them sells out in my size, then I won't have to chose! LOL.
DeleteOh, I'm jealous of you, Andrea! I didn't snag the AEJ in Twig, and I have regrets. I sure hope they release more items in that color!
ReplyDeleteMy January was the opposite of no-buy, but I'm going to reign it in in February. My last order before my ban is the Define Mesh-Back Jacket. I know the sleeves will be too long, but it's so cute! And I'm so glad the sizing is still numeric for it :)
I kept checking the inventory and pulled the trigger when stock was low, Lola! Can’t believe all sizes in Twig were sold out in less than a month!

Hi Lola! Good luck with your February ban! At least it's only 28 days. =) Let me know how you like the Define Mesh-Back Jacket.
DeleteThe Valentine's stuff is cute but not for me. I'm almost 40 and would feel a little silly wearing hearts. What is LLL's target demographic? I feel like it used to be a yogi in her 30's, but now it's just all over the place and very unclear. They give us grandpa sweaters, huge tennis collections, middle school heart details... If I didn't work there, I don't think I would pay any attention any more. It's sad because 10 years ago I used to love the functional, technical, unique designs and YOGA stuff. Where is all of that now?
ReplyDeleteHi LZ! I think Lulu is now catering towards tweens (parents have money to spend) and Gen Z. They definitely aren't targeting the Millennials anymore. We're now old and cringe. Maybe the grandpa sweaters are for us. LOL
DeleteI have been buying less and less from Lulu these days. Even though my no-buy challenge is over, my first purchase went to Banana Republic. I really love Twig and want something in that color. I'm trying to wait to see if the items I'm eyeing go on sale. I don't want to pay full price anymore... we'll see!
Haha oh no, but you're right about us being the grandpa sweater targets!!
DeleteSince they ended our awesome discount on sale items, I haven't bought much. It has to be really, really special now. Not much makes the cut.
Ugh that sucks they ended the discount on sale items. I have a feeling people will just spend less and less especially with the new price increases. SMH. It really does have to be really special now for me to buy it.
