Lol, no. I'm plus sized and wouldn't be caught dead in 97% of their clothes. Leggings featuring pizza or giraffes? What am I, seven? We fatties would actually generally prefer something that isn't meant to completely infantilize and desexualize us.

lularoe will be long gone in 5 years unless they switch up the business model. There are only so many women who want to wear "silly leggings" and pay money to do so. If I could direct order some plain black ones I would. The folks I know who where this shit are super suburban, generally conservative and love attending these kinds of parties as the major part of their social life.

I can't figure out what the attraction is to those prints. I think they are incredibly hideous. JMO, of course.

Actually LuLooRoe is not owned by the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). The owners just happen to be members.

Ice cream print is "fun" on a 5-year-old. It's just sad and unfashionable on an adult.

It is just so, so unnecessarily ugly. I mean, they have prints that--honest to goodness--look like poop. POOP.

Have some dignity and walk away when someone is belittling you. Clearly she's not interested in anything you're saying but rather looking for a target for anonymous hatred. Walk away, stop inviting the spew, it's painful to watch.

I guess it will depend on how long they last and if they don't fade, for me to determine if they are worth it. I received a free Cassie skirt and 1) did not like the print. It took me back to the days where my Mom would take me to the swap meet to go back to school shopping. 2) everytime I see someone in these awfully printed pieces it takes me back to middle school and how the kids that wore this kind of stuff would get teased. But somehow this is now cool. Um, no. Just, no.

The skirts and dresses, in particular, look like a small child's attempt to design "fancy" clothes with some kind of discount reminder fabric. I feel a little bit of secondhand embarrassment for my friends who wear this stuff.

But everyone seems to agree that these clothes are quite comfortable, and I think that's really the crux of it. The relative popularity of it probably speaks to how few options women have to feel comfortable and at least a little stylish at the same time. It is easier to tell yourself that the sailboat print skirt really is good-looking, no really it is, if it feels quite good on.

I can see why being a rep for an MLM is the perfect career for you!

Oh, snap. Plus "to each *their* own"
Ouch.

I'd be interested if I could go somewhere to see the clothes in person and try them on, but I'm put off by the facebook selling and limited pieces that each consultant has access to. I'm curious how much things cost though. What's a rough estimate on a dress/skirt/top?

I'll stick to Boden for cute prints.

I went to a "pop up event" which was a party at someone's house. The llr rep had a ton of clothes in all sizes set up on racks in this woman's living room. You could try stuff on. I really liked one shirt (I'm the previous poster about the one shirt being great for maternity) and the rep is going to get me more.

I spent I think $35 on the shirt and $25 on leggings. The leggings are pretty garish, I admit. I feel that they look better on people than on the rack/magazine. I saw several women last night pairing a solid colored tunic a crazy patterned leggings and the combinations looked surprisingly good!

I think that the return policy depends on the rep. The woman I bought from last night said a 10 day return policy while another friend I saw later in the evening was stuck with a dress she bought and changed her mind on but was only given 3 days to return.
