I HATE Lularoe

[bearmom]

I hate being invited to those stupid events. I have to post this here, because I offend so many if I plunk this on FB or somewhere more public, but I can't be the only person that despises those clothes.

Maybe I'm deformed and have no taste, but those Lularoe clothes are not cute, and so unflattering on me, and those patterns - ugh (OK, mb some tights are OK).

I'm not a fan of these type of marketed items and hate home parties for this ****, but some stuff like from Pampered Chef I actually like. Lularoe, not. Argh, got that out of my system for a few minutes.

If it makes you feel any better, I was asked to leave a Tupperware party. Really.

I do not find them stylish nor attractive in the least. You are not alone. Just do not go.

This 'trend' hasn't made it out of America, thankfully. For cheap exercise clothes like leggings, I just hit up Uniqlo or Cotton On.

 

[JackieOnLine]

now & then I see what I assume are "those" leggings out in public and I always thing WT...ugh!

thanks for posting those two companies, Harriet - I had been just using One Hanes Place and walmart but am glad to check those out.

I would love to hear how that happened.

Whit - I didn't go to this last one, but am so spineless I always feel I have to make up an excuse, rather than just say "I don't like that stuff, so there is no reason to invite me to these things".

Harriet - I do like good leggings and patterns can be OK, just not patterns that appear to have been designed for toddlers, so I'll check out both of those.

Jackie - Ikr? I had been eating at IHOP (yuck, I know, but my mom likes the potato soup there) and I can always count on seeing at least one person in really obnoxious leggings. The last ones appeared to have pictures from Disney's nightmare before Christmas, and I love that movie, and most of the characters, but see no reason to have them all over my legs and butt. I'd have to believe if that gal knew how unflattering those were on her from any distance, she'd never wear them again.

I need vertical lines if any, in boring colors that say "no need to focus here and notice how big this area is" on my butt and legs.

Obviously I am not a woman but I agree completely. Those thing are ugly (IMO), expensive from what I hear and I absolutely hate people on FB trying to get me to buy ****. It is like Amway or the Advocare (think that is the name of the other Amway type multi level marketing scams that people try to force on friends and family*. By the way, when did it become okay to basically where skin tight long underwear in the work place?

A little story about Amway and dick heads pushing that **** on me. It was Cameron's first birthday and his party was about an hour away. The husband of a friend with whom I grew up (she lived three doors down from us) called me and said, Hey Scott how are doing and do you have a minute for me stop by and talk. Another good friend of mine who married into that family as well warned me that Rob was pedaling that **** so I might get a call. So I told him, well we are getting ready for Cameron's birthday party in an hour so no I don't have time and I know you are trying to get me to sell Amway so you need to know right now that I will not do so. He actually said, well that is no problem so can I stop by in 15 minutes? At that point I got a little rude and said, did you not hear me say that this is Cameron's first birthday and 30 people will be at our house in 45 minutes or less and if you did that I frankly find it absolutely inappropriate for you to have the audacity to still ask if you could come over and pitch me on something that I will never do under any circumstances. Goodbye and I slammed the phone.

BTW, this guy is a ******* private practice Optometrist who was raking people over the coals with his practice and selling glasses. The guy was a Dr and he was selling Amway. SMDH.

When I got to the party, three of us had the same wedding band. It's carved with a black background. We bonded immediately. No alcohol was served, yet the three of us got silly. It was the Tupperware lady's first party as a sales rep. She did the thing with filling up pitcher of water, but it wasn't sealed properly. When the water went all over the floor, we lost it. Then all three of us were asked to leave.

Remember the spinoff show "Maude"? There was a scene once where she was talking about an old lady being so mean she was asked to leave a Tupperware party. My husband and I fell out laughing.

In all fairness, if the person can wear leggings and wear them done right, they look good.
Example: daughter is thin and well toned. She wears them all the time but not the thin cheap ones. She went with me to Costco on Sat and found a pair of DKNY leggings in a maroon. Nicely made. All the ones she owns are all one color.

I could probably wear them assuming my tops are long enough. My legs are toothpicks compared to my torso and my vein surgeon said I had NO fat on my legs. All my fat migrated to my waist

Done right, it’s really no different than wearing tights instead of sheer hose.

It’s the cheaply made, sheer as hell, patterned that make me crazy.

I do like leggings, and wear them, although most of mine just look like dark jeans. I also think longer shirts work best with them, at least for my age. If I were 20 I might be more daring. It's the ones with patterns that while may be cute (like on a childs folder or something) they just do nothing whatsoever to flatter anyones figure. While their tops and dresses aren't as bad, they are clearly designed to be easy to manufacture, but do nothing to flatter any type of figure.

I did discover insulated leggings, with a fleecy lining, that are far warmer than pants. My ferritin has been going down, taking my body temperature along with it, so the insulated leggings have been getting a workout till I get all my infusions in.

These are a typical lularoe

Oh man I don't miss having Amway hawked at me, but knew several who were as obnoxious and inconsiderate as Rob about it 20+ years ago. It's funny you mention he was an optometrist, because the guy that used to have me most puzzled was a fellow real estate developer, and he was making over 6 figures, which was great money in the 80's. He'd end one work day, just to go recruit other Amway sellers (had zero interest in actually selling any of the products, and wouldn't, even if you asked). He had a wife and 2 youngs kids, and worked every waking hour, and I know he was thinking it was all for them, but he missed everything.

Those are just all kinds of wrong. Maybe on a 2-3 year old but not by any stretch of the imagination should an adult wear those.

 

[harrietvane]

You have to get high-quality, thick leggings to wear them as pants - something like Danskin (not expensive, but high quality, black leggings) are miles better than Lululemon, whose fabric is so sheer you might as well be wearing hose.

If I wear leggings, I'm either exercising or wearing them under a long top/short dress that covers my ass.

I would sleep in printed ones, but these are just awful! I've never been a leggings fan, fat or thin. Tents over tooth picks are silly either way. They are EXPENSIVE too.

Yeah, maybe as PJ's.

The tent over toothpicks is one reason I haven't tried them.
