										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve gotten a lot of questions lately from people about <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">LuLaRoe</a> and where to start. I might not be the best person to hand out advice on how to navigate this obsession. I dove right on in last February and bought up a bunch of the Valentine&#8217;s Day leggings right off the bat, but most people ease in a little slower than I do.</p>
<p>This is an awesome <a href="https://kidsactivitiesblog.com/93664/lularoe-price-list">LuLaRoe price list</a> if you&#8217;re looking to buy some LuLaRoe.</p>
<p>You know. <strong>With a simple pair of black <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">leggings</a>.</strong> A nice, every girl sort of staple to see what all the fuss is about.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54611" src="https://cdn.totallythebomb.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/llr-love.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="1000" /></p>
<h2>The LuLaRoe Obsession Starts With Just A Pair Of Black Leggings&#8230;</h2>
<p>I am all for this method. Staple items like solid color <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">leggings</a>, a little black dress, these things never go out of style and you can update the look with a variety of accessories. They&#8217;re really not a risky buy, and for the cautious buyer, a great place to start.</p>
<p>But let&#8217;s say you got that pair of black <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">leggings</a> and you want to give some of the other looks a go. Where to start?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve already covered my personal feelings and reviews of numerous <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">LuLaRoe</a> pieces for women in previous posts (<a href="https://totallythebomb.com/lularoe-leggings-an-introduction-to-their-clothes-review-and-suggestions-for-styling">leggings</a>, <a href="https://totallythebomb.com/lularoe-dresses-an-introduction-to-their-clothes-review-and-suggestions-for-styling">dresses</a>, <a href="https://totallythebomb.com/lularoe-shirts-an-introduction-reviews-and-suggestions-for-styling">shirts</a>, <a href="https://totallythebomb.com/lularoe-skirts-an-introduction-to-their-clothes-review-and-suggestions-for-styling">skirts</a>). Feel free to brows those and ask questions!</p>
<p>What I&#8217;ve been telling my friends is two things. A) Set a budget. B) Pick a few styles to try. C) Stick to that budget.</p>
<p>Why am I stressing budget so much?</p>
<p>Because every month I see the posts in the various <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">LuLaRoe</a> resell groups. &#8220;Help! I bought too much LLR and we need to pay xyz/I&#8217;m in trouble/I&#8217;m overwhelmed/insert other reason here!&#8221;</p>
<p>Take it from me, <em>it is very easy to go overboard with your <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">LuLaRoe</a> buying</em>. Especially in the beginning when you want <em>all the things</em>. What I hate hearing are the stories about people who tried <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">LuLaRoe</a>, fell into insta-love and then had it ruined by blowing their budget. My <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">LuLaRoe</a> clothing makes me feel good and live comfortably, so I hate hearing about people who let that happiness get sullied by things they could have changed. So please, stick with that budget!</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54606" src="https://cdn.totallythebomb.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/LuLaLove.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="874" /></p>
<p>Another tip? If you&#8217;re like me and worried about spending the budget on what you think you want, only to find a pattern, color or style that you must have now, create a dual budget. X amount for buying what you see, and X amount to be held for first unicorn sightings. If you don&#8217;t see a unicorn, simply put that unicorn budget toward next month. Voila! Smart budgeting and a bit of savings should you need it.</p>
<p>Now, what to buy?</p>
<p>I always suggest picking one new style to give a whirl at a time. The way sales happen, it&#8217;s fast and furious. I often stand a better chance of getting what I want if I&#8217;m laser focused on one style. That way I don&#8217;t get distracted. But for the new shopper, selectively widening your wardrobe can be a good way to ease into the habit. I mean&#8211;lifestyle.</p>
<p>For me, I went into leggings then a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">Cassie skirt</a>. I like the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">Cassies</a>, but my day to day life is a bit too casual for them. I tried the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">Nicoles</a>, then a few shirts and then discovered that I love wearing <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">Amelias</a>. But I have a friend who cannot stand the pleated skirts and much prefers the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">Nicoles</a>. There are so many styles that figuring out what works for you will take time. And that&#8217;s fine! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/akalularoe/">LuLaRoe</a> is constantly releasing new patterns, colors and styles.</p>
<p>Hope this helps. Shop smart, shop comfortable!</p>
