Lululemon Design Meeting!

Last week, I was invited to the Lululemon design meeting. They invited 8 people both men and women from the athletic community. I was beyond ecstatic that I was invited! THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I believe I was the only guest who is not a coach (running, yoga, pilates, crossfit etc...). However, I was told I'm a "hardcore runner and active in the running community" <---- I can't argue with that. You'd be surprised how many people ask me for running advice and have questions about workout clothes. It's quite flattering and I'm always happy to chat. Plus, this blog has provided a unique platform for me to share my training and give product feedback on clothes and shoes.

About the Meeting:
During the meeting we discussed trends in athletics, performance apparel, fabrics, fit and function. Also: We all had our favorite workout clothes that were not Lulu. I brought a bag full of Nike gear, yeah I have a few. We shared why we like those specific products. It felt like a show and tell. Our feedback will be submitted to the lulu designers. For participating I received a $100 dollar lulu gift card. NO WAY! SWEET!

Here is what I got.
Cool Raceback: $39
I got this top in aruba blue.
This top is quite long on me, but I think it's a perfect top for layering in the winter. It will also be great as a light summer top. The material is so soft.

Run Speed Skirt! $54.
I've always wanted one! I ran in this outfit during last week's half marathon race. I was concerned the running skirt would be too sexy...you know maybe it would ride up while I was running and expose my butt...but it DIDN'T! The inner lining, which is shorts, kept me covered and it felt like I was wearing my favorite pair of shorts. Fashion meets function. Love it and there is nothing better than passing a guy during a race when you are wearing a skirt!
