LuLaLove

I recently had the opportunity to go to a super fancy event and let me tell you, the anxiety of getting dressed to go was enough to make me want to hide in a closet under a pile of boxes.

Taking A Trip? Don’t Forget To Pack Your Leggings!

Heavy Handed Advice

Mid-May my now husband and I eloped to Jamaica. I knew going in that I'd have some, shall we say, wardrobe struggles? You see, I wear leggings 99% of the time these days. I can dress them up, down, work out in them and not worry about my comfort, thigh chafing or being appropriately dressed. They're my every occasion solution. But, let's face it, majority of leggings are not tropical zone friendly. I'll never forget my mad dash in packing. I'd chosen 5 pairs of leggings and in eyeing the suitcase space remaining figured, what are the chances I'll even wear one of these? I took two pair Keep Reading >>>

LuLaRoe Life Balance: Keeping My Closet Happy Without Making My Wallet Cry

Heavy Handed Advice

A few weeks ago I had no idea what LuLaRoe was. Despite the fact that there have been several articles about the fashion line have been posted on this very website, I hadn’t done much more than scan them. I got the basic idea. Competitive clothes shopping? No. Freaking. Thank. You. I have to watch 3+ hour long live videos of LuLaRoe fashion consultants holding up leggings and THEN have to hope that 1. My internet connection isn’t terrible, 2. Type “Sold” plus the item number faster than every other leggings hungry lady, and 3. Hope that the CONSULTANT’S comment feed showed me as the top Keep Reading >>>

My LuLaRoe Leggings Don’t Judge Me

Heavy Handed Advice

Last week we were about to go see Rogue One finally. Yes, finally. I was trying to pick out something to wear and was feeling Star-Wars-Festive.

Why I’ll Never Give Up My LuLaRoe…

Heavy Handed Advice

I guess this is a post I need to write once a year or something. The other day I was scrolling Facebook and saw a meme that was shared by someone from some new, non LuLaRoe legging company that shall not be named. Please note, this was a meme posted on this company's, I guess, official page. No, I won't name names. The meme had rules for wearing leggings. There were just two rules, but you only need a few words to body shame people. And that's why I'll never give up my LuLaRoe. They would Never have done something like THIS.

Layering Your LuLaRoe Leggings

Heavy Handed Advice

I saw a picture a week ago from someone layering their leggings. Let me say that again. Layering. Leggings. I remember gasping and thinking, "Why didn't I come up with that?" Layering Your LuLaRoe Leggings I sort of did earlier this year, but not in a cute way. I mean, I layered my leggings for zip lining in Moab, Utah because it was freaking cold and I didn't bring jeans. But I didn't make it into a fashion statement. This girl did. So I set out to recreate the layering look all on my own. https://www.instagram.com/p/BOISECfB9Zf/?taken-by=sidneybristol First I Keep Reading >>>

A Beginners Guide To Layering LuLaRoe

Heavy Handed Advice

Let me just say first that I'm a total slug when it comes to the layering trend. So many people are way ahead of me in this game, but I've lately embraced the idea of layering. Why do I hate layers, you ask? Claustrophobia. Only, for some reason I always feel like the only thing closing in on me are clothes. I swear, I gave up t-shirts because I couldn't get away from the sensation of being choked by my favorite graphic t-shirt. Yet another reason why I dig LuLaRoe clothing! It's so soft it's more like a hug. So here are some tips on layering that LuLaRoe from someone who's probably Keep Reading >>>

Hunting The LuLaRoe Unicorn: A How To Guide

Heavy Handed Advice

We're just about to my one year, LuLaCrazy anniversary. I'll never forget the invitation from a friend to the on-line pop up and the absolute madness that ensued. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, let me break it down to you real quick. LuLaRoe is a clothing line that's not sold like your average yoga pants or ready to wear dresses. You can only get these from a dealer...er...consultant, excuse me. Not all patterns or styles are available from every seller. Which makes getting exactly what you want a little bit of a trial.

The Last Day I Wore Pants… (A LuLaRoe Love Story)

Heavy Handed Advice

I remember my last day wearing jeans. It was the week PokemonGo became the thing to do. We'd planned our first big, group hunting expedition and I was really worried that my newly found love of LuLaRoe leggings would run way too hot given the extreme Texas heat.

Why I Chose To Be A LuLaRoe Evangelist

Heavy Handed Advice

Calling myself a LuLaRoe Evangelist sounds way better than saying I couldn't handle it as a consultant. Over the last few weeks I've had a lot of people say to me, "Man!

This last week fall has finally hit Texas. I saw a leaf fall. That counts. Yes, we still have the AC on, it's still pretty darn hot, but a leaf fell so fall has finally arrived in Texas.

You Paid How Much For That? Why LuLaRoe Is More Than Money
