| Modern Racer Tank in Heathered Shadow Gray |
I didn't get what I planned to get today but I came away very happy. I started out at the Newport Beach store hoping to find the Unicorn Tears CRB and Scoop Neck. They had the Unicorn Tears print in the Hot Class bra and the Strata Wunder Under crops (so does Irvine). They also had the Split Pea Wee Stripe CRB but I didn't care for that. It looked ok on me but I didn't love it. Both Irvine and Newport had the Iris Wee Stripe in the Power Y and Scoop Neck but I think those color combos are rather dull. Newport had the three new colors of the Modern Racer tanks. I tried on all three colors and ended up going home with the solid heathered gray (Heathered Shadow Gray) version. There is just something about an athletic gray that gets me when Lululemon does it. The photo above looks a bit lavenderish but the gray is a true athletic gray. The striped one was cute but the armpits fit a bit loose. I thought theHeathered Shadow gray fit the snuggest of all three colors. I did size down for a more form fitting look. This is my first Modern Racer tank but probably not my last.
The above photo is a comparison of Rapsberry, on the top, and Violaceous. I was hoping Violaceous was going to be more of a hot pink color but it is more on the purple side and not too far from Very Violet. The Newport store had the Hot Class tank in Violaceous and the Hot Class bra in the Unicorn Tears Print. The Irvine store also had the UT print Hot Class bra. Both stores have the new Hot Move Short in Unicorn Tears.

| Wren DSC - trying something new |
It's been quite awhile since I've tried on pants made of the Swift fabric and at the time I recall it feeling kind of hot and heavy. However, everyone has been raving about their DSPs so I decided to try on the Dance Studio Crops in Wren. Both the Irvine and Newport stores had them in Wren and Coal. They were nice and light and roomy enough for my "athletic" thighs. I got a pair of the Wren for the summer. It's a bit chilly to wear them now but I can't wait to try them out when it gets warmer.
The Irvine store had a Unicorn Tears Slipless headband and the new Cross Train caps in both black and Ikat. They were just restocked in the caps so if you are looking for them they had about 6-8 black hats. I got a slipless headband in UT but had to pick through one that showed mostly white or mostly black.
Both stores had the Strata Wunder Unders in Unicorn Tears and Violaceous. I didn't try them on since the SWUs stop at size ten and I think the side stripe wouldn't do any favors to my non-skinny thighs. However, the girl at Irvine wearing the Unicorn Tears version looked totally cute in them.
I'm hoping tomorrow the Unicorn Tears CRB and Scoop Neck tanks will be uploaded. If not, I'll try again in a couple of days at my stores. I like the pattern a lot but it seems like a ton of people are on the trail of this print and I hate spotting people in the gym wearing the same thing as me.
