Today's Shopping Trip

I bought myself the Sprinkler Blue Scoop Neck tank. For some reason, this tank really appeals to me. I might wait to cut the tags off in case I want to trade it in for the Sprinkler/Ikat Push UR Limits but we'll see. I really like this tank. Sprinkler is a bit lighter than Wish Blue:

On the bottom is a Wish Blue Heart Tank and on the top is the Sprinkler Blue Scoop Neck. I think this photo makes the Sprinkler look a little lighter than it actually is but there is a real difference between the two colors. I held up the New Blue Dance Headband to the Sprinkler Scoop Neck and New Blue and Sprinkler are very close in color.

I saw Flush/Flesh and it is very orange. I held it up next to Passion and Passion is a redder orange whereas Flush is a true orange but not neon. I think it's a fun color.

I saw this waistband and the colors in the waistband are: Sprinkler, Flush, Aruba, Purple Crush, (not sure but not Oasis) and that new Snow Cone or LILS (lilac snow) - the pale lavender. I saw a bunch of Oasis headbands so I think that color might be coming back.

I got a product alert from the Newport Store that says they had the Get Fit short in but I didn't see it. The store is being remodeled so it kind of threw me off where I normally check for new stuff. I am bummed I didn't try those on.

I wanted to try on the new Coal Strata Stripe Speed Up tank but they didn't have it in my size. I tried the Aruba version on and it fits like I remember the Light Up tank fitting - very tight in the chest. If you are not busty, it won't be a problem but to me, the chest fit at least one size down (the band of the built in bra was TTS but the tank itself was small in the bust) and the tummy area fit true to size or loose.

I also saw the new Pure Balance Pant and Crop but didn't bother trying them on. I think you need very slender legs to pull those off and that doesn't describe me. The waistband did seem rather thick so I can see why some people are saying it gives them a muffin top. I also saw the new Raw Blue Still pants and was able to compare to a pair of Deep Navy. The Raw Blue are much blacker than Deep Navy. It's really hard to tell they are blue at all.

I saw Margarita headbands in the store. Margarita is very bright and I am wondering if an entire tank in this color will wash me out. However, I wouldn't mind an All Sport bra in this color to add a pop of color under a black tank.

The Outward Bound jacket was marked down to $138 at the Newport store.
