My husband and I often find ourselves meandering the aisles at our nearby Target Greatlands every Sunday: For, you know, kitty litter, John Freida Brilliant Brunette shampoo, and Archer Farms pita chips and roasted almonds (their house brand rocks!). Invariably, we keep wandering (PlayStation games! Notebooks! Jewelry Cleaner!) until we’ve amassed at least $150 worth of stuff. Without fail. Lately, the same thing seems to be happening at Lululemon (where, granted, you can hit that mark with just two or three things). Everytime I go in, or click around on their site, I end up with some new cropped tights (I own EIGHT pairs already, and these things don’t seem to wear out), and a jewel-toned top. Rob buys Core shorts faster than I can wash them, and will now only wear Lululemon No Show Socks, because they don’t slip. Know what’s also awesome about Lululemon (besides the fact that their tights are super slimming and flattering)? Shipping is always free. So, spill: What’s your shopping Achilles’ heel?

mmmph…look who’s caving now on Lulu. I discovered that their tops make for a great layering system when I’m skiing. I’ll wear a vent tech short sleeve for the sub-base layer. Then, I’ll wear a base long sleeve. And, in the winter, Lulu usually carries a heavier tops that I use as my top layer. Jacket & Pants are from K’Jus (http://www.kjus.com/)
Hey now! I LOVE Lulu, and have always loved Lulu (super early adopter), I just don’t wear it to work.
I’ve never heard of K’Jus…clicking over now!
Anthro, Target, Sephora… in that order. On the Lulu front, i just love how they will tailor any style of workout pant free of charge. Since i’m directionally challenged, even their cropped pants fit long.
That tailoring service is pretty brilliant…wish every big retailer offered it!
