This week’s Britt’s picks is here! Read on for new stuff coming next week.
The if you’re lucky capsule is a big focus of this feature. Katelin notes there’s a lot of mesh in this capsule (shock of the century–mesh is not dying anytime soon apparently). Not surprising, since the if you’re lucky jacket from earlier today is mesh-backed. The if you’re lucky tank is no exception. This has too much weird mesh-blocking going on for me, and I don’t like the downward angle in the front.
The if you’re lucky SS has an interesting open back design accented by a contrast insert running down the middle. At least, I’m pretty certain that moody mirage bit is attached to the shirt. If you’re wearing a tank, too, things could get a little crazy from the back view. The description says it has mesh panels but I’m not sure where those are.
These if you’re lucky pants are a pretty simple design with just a little bit of seaming details and some mesh blocking at the ankles. Not bad but not super-exciting. Also: there has been soooo much of this heathered black lately.
Two more if you’re lucky items: these are probably the cutest of the bunch. The vintage pink if you’re lucky bra looks like the one featured in the spring sneak peek video. The adjustable straps are nice, but since only one of the sets of straps are adjustable, I’m not sure how well that would work in practice? I would consider trying this one on if it comes in my size, but something tells me it won’t accommodate much of a bust. The if you’re lucky long sleeve looks like a unity pullover had a baby with a roll of mesh fabric. This could look nice if it drapes nicely, but I would be terrified of snagging the flowy mesh back on something.
The popular moody mirage wunder unders are coming in WUP length next week.
Canadians, rejoice: the vintage pink FTBW will finally be uploaded! (This came out in the US a couple of weeks ago.)
Lastly, the top speed crops (these were spotted in Australia recently) blocked with blushed illusion and naval blue are on their way to the US. I think this smaller dose of blushed illusion looks better than if the entire crops were that print. Hopefully it will also help with rear opacity.
Absolutely nothing I want! I know I’ve been buying too much lately when I’m happy not to like anything…
Haha I often have that sense of relief. :) I can’t keep up with wanting a bunch of stuff every week.
Meh.
On a happier note, my order arrived and I love most of what I ordered! These kinds of neutrals are right up my alley, I always wear lots of deep navy, black, grey, and nude, light pink, light blue, etc.
The only thing I’m torn on is the cyber stripe inspire crops. The stripes don’t match up but the pattern is a lot more space dye than it is parallel strip, so maybe that won’t matter? I haven’t gotten a good look at my butt in them yet. ^_^
I really don’t like the lulu model pics of the cyberstripe inspire crops. However, I saw them in store today, and the stripes matching up doesn’t seem to matter, because like you said, they’re more of a space dye. The lulu online pics don’t do them justice. I ended up purchasing them.
I feel like the stripes not matching issue is less noticeable when the stripes are more mismatched, ironically. The ones that are off by like 1/8″ make it seem like it was bad sewing, versus the ones that aren’t close make it look like they weren’t intended to match anyway, if that makes sense.
I bought the Cyber Stripe Deep Coal Inspire crop and I love them. They are amazing. I don’t really care that the stripes don’t match up but that’s me! I will buy every pants or crops that will come out in this print, that’s how much I love the print!
I feel like the stripes matching issue mostly just bothers me on pairs that are off by just a hair (like the inspire stock pics). That makes it look like a manufacturing glitch to me. But, I’ve never seen the print IRL so maybe it wouldn’t bother me so much anyway.
new floral…maybe….
(in the top photo, different than the current black snake print in the vest)
Yeah I noticed that. Strange that they would do two black embossed prints on the same vest. I’m wondering if it’s moody mirage embossed or maybe even garden party.
Just no to all of it – the bra is somewhat cute but has too much going on for my taste. OT, what’s up with the consistently terrible WMTM section on the US side? I think I saw maybe one new item uploaded today, the loin cloth sweater…
WMTM has been pretty much useless for months. I think because lulu’s inventory in general has been moving much more slowly, they are stingier with MD’s both in terms of quantity and quality. Honestly, I don’t even check it most weeks.
I reiterate that I much prefer blushed illusion as it’s presented in those top speed crops – but I still don’t like it enough to purchase it. I’m just too self-conscious to wear tights in bright, flashy prints (even crops). I do love the lines and overall design of the top speeds though and might purchase a pair if they come out in some nice solid colors. Other than that, nothing of interest for me in this upload.
Every time I look at the top speeds, they remind me of the old fast and free crops, and I like that design a lot better. So, lately I’ve been thinking about scooping up a pair of those on the aftermarket instead…
