Lululemon Virgin

As a full-time working mama, any money spent on clothing for myself has to fit 2 categories – work and social.  There really isn’t an in-between.  And because I’m not a big ‘worker-outer’, I tend to wear what I own when I do workout – yoga pants, running shorts and tanks.  I personally would never dream of investing in expensive workout clothing when I could buy a great dress, jeans, tops or shoes to wear far more!  So living in Chicago, I’m surrounded by both men and women who wear Lululemon.  I love their stuff, but no way am I paying that much for a pair of pants or top.  If working out was part of my job, maybe, but not while my butt sits in an office for 50 hours a week. 

Insert the Lululemon Warehouse sale held this weekend in Chicago.  One of my girlfriends had an interest in going, so I told her I’d be her partner in crime.  We headed out on Sunday afternoon and much to our surprise, there was no line whatsoever.  Easy!  Although a lot of the good stuff was already gone, I did manage to find two pairs of pants (one pair that I absolutely LOVE – Studio Pant II – retails at $98) and a great fur-lined hoodie (Scuba Fur Hoodie – retails at $149!).  Each piece sold for $39, which is a steal!   It was a little difficult trying on things with a big ol' belly, but I made do just fine!  So all in all, I got a great deal and am officially no longer a Lululemon Virgin!

Did you make it to the sale and if so, what did you snag?!
