My friend Pauline (author of “BabyFat: Adventures in Motherhood, Muffin Tops, & Trying to Stay Sane“) has been professing her love of LuLaRoe leggings for months. SO I asked Facebook, “Are these leggings really that special?”

I heard an enthusiastic “YES!” back.

And then LuLuRoe consultant Jasmine Moore offered to send me a pair to try out.  Of course I said, “YES! PLEASE! AND THANK YOU!”

I have practically lived in my leggings since.

They really are amazing.

I was skeptical the “tall and curvy” option would work for me since I’m at the top of the size 12 – 22 bracket, but they fit amazing.  These leggings are so soft and comfortable!  They have a yoga waistband, which stays put.

And the patterns!

Jasmine sent me a basic black pair, which is great for looking grown up and put together.  Some funky patterns are definitely next up on my shopping list!  They even have unicorns!

LuLaRoe also offers tunics, dresses and more.  I’ve picked up a few other pieces since the leggings arrived and have loved everything I’ve purchased.

Interview with a LuLaRoe Consultant

How did you get involved in LuLaRoe?

Every consultant has their own “story” for how they found out about LuLaRoe; for me it was about this time last year when I first saw their clothing at a local craft/vendor fair. I was immediately drawn to the Randy shirt, which is our raglan, baseball style shirt. I did not purchase my first piece of LuLaRoe until January of this year, which of course was a pair of their signature “buttery-soft” leggings.

What do you love about LuLaRoe clothes?

What first drew me to the clothing was the styles. I have never been one to shop for clothing for myself. I just don’t like to spend the time to shop in the stores and then mostly leave frustrated because nothing fit or looked good. After having two children, I almost “gave up” in a sense, and settled for whatever kind-of fit. When I tried on the leggings from LuLaRoe the first time, of course I loved how soft they were but also the fact that they FIT! After that I finally purchased my first Randy shirt, and from there I was hooked. I love that their clothes are fun and fit a wide array of sizes from XXS-3XL! Plus the clothing items are so unique, the company only produces about 2,000 pieces per print for nationwide distribution so I not worrying if I will run into 30 other people in my town wearing the same piece of clothing. And it helps that the clothing is well-made, and so comfortable too!

Who are LuLaRoe clothes for?

EVERYONE! LuLaRoe makes items for women, children and now men. Women sizes XXS-3XL, children from 2T-Tween and Men too. Before I began wearing LuLaRoe clothing most of my items were basic black and grey colors. Now I have added some fun pieces with colors that POP to break up my wardrobe. However, even with some of their crazy prints LuLaRoe still produces many solids in each of their pieces for those that are little more reserved in their wardrobe.

What are your favorite pieces?

The Randy shirt has to be my favorite piece! I wear them to bed to work to the gym and just to not I work in a business casual environment. Plus of course, everyone first gets hooked with the leggings! They are amazing…..

Leggings as pants? Yay or nay? A LuLaRoe rep weighs in.

Leggings as pants – yay or nay? 

This is a very controversial question from the chatter I have seen online. My take on it, is that leggings are acceptable as pants as long as the shirt/top you are wearing covers your assets. Thankfully, LuLaRoe produces several different tops and dresses that you can pair with the leggings to make them appropriate to wear as pants.

How can we buy LuLaRoe or find out more?

LuLaRoe is sold through independent fashion consultants at Pop-Up Boutiques either in-person or online through Facebook. What is a Pop-Up Boutique? A LuLaRoe Fashion Consultant basically brings an entire boutique of clothing to your house or wherever! The hostess invites their friends and they can shop, pay for their purchase and take it home with them the same day. What is wonderful about LuLaRoe is that there are no catalogs or websites to buy from a large inventory, every consultant carries their own inventory which will be completely different from any other consultant in the area. Did I mention that LuLaRoe only produces 2,000 pieces in every print? So this means new prints are introduced to the market on a weekly basis so at each Pop-Up you may attend will have completely new styles and prints.

Some consultants also host online Pop-Up Boutiques through Facebook groups which allows for a very similar experience for the customer. The hostess will invite their Facebook friends to the online event which then the consultant will post pictures of their inventory for a limited amount of time, typically 2-4 hours. Attendees will comment, “sold,” on the items they would like to purchase and the consultant will invoice the customer and ship their item directly to them.

  2. I think they are only appropriate for small children, or under a dress. But who cares? As long as you cover stuff (and follow any uniform policies), wear what you want! And that’s when going out–I think leggings would be great around the house and might be just what I need!

  6. My biggest concern is having something fall out. If I pull my tops down enough to keep the belly covered, then the girls are going to pop out! So I move, tug, move, tuck…repeat.

  7. I think leggings are super comfy!! However, I think the shirt you pair them with should be looking enough to cover your butt!

  8. I like leggings as pants, as long as there are not ill-fitting -as in leave nothing to the imagination, if you get what I mean ;). I also like to wear a shirt that covers my rear-too many creepers out there!!

  10. I am on the fence. I think it can be done tastefully but it usually involves a long tunic or dress to cover up the “goodies” I have seen it go awfully awry like cameltoe awry LOL so Im on the fence

  14. I’ve never tried wearing leggings. I thought they would be too confining and I’m all for comfort.
    Thanks for the contest.

  15. I like leggings as pants as long as it’s for the appropriate places…. I work in a male prison lol not appropriate for my work but everywhere else is fair game 🙂

  16. Leggings are pants depending on the top. A nice tunic or blouse definitely makes them pants. A t-shirt or tank top keeps them too sporty.

  18. I already love leggings and have heard soo many amazing things about Lularoe I would LOVE to try!

  23. Since I’m already a LulaRoe legging addict, I’m going to have to say yes, as long as the top covers the assets, lol

  26. I am a SAHM of 3, but even before kids I have always been about comfort! I pretty much wear sweats or leggings daily. 🙂 I think as long as they are not too thin or see through then leggings aren’t bad to wear out. I do wear a long top though as they make me feel a little too exposed otherwise.

  27. I love the idea! I am a yoga pants kinda girl! I have heard these leggings are soft like butter!

  29. As long as they’re not so tight that you can see through them, I don’t see any difference between leggings and skinny jeans! Except leggings don’t cut off your circulation!

  31. Back in the 80’s I used to wear them as pants along with a long sweater that covered my assets lol. So I think they are just fine as long as they cover what they need to. My daughter and other girls in jr high wear leggings all the time, because they are so comfy.

  33. I think that it really depends on the entire outfit. The leggings cannot be white or nude in color unless being worn with a dress. Black leggings can be worn with a longer shirt.

  34. As a work at home mom, my answer is most definitely yes! They’re my daily wear! Jeans just don’t do it for me. Especially when the only people that see me are my kids lol

  35. i wear leggings as pants all the time, they are super comfy and as long as i wear a longer shirt or sweater with some cute flats or boots i look good! i am all for comfort and style and leggings offer this both in one sweet curve hugging package!

  36. I LOVE leggings as pants! As long as they’re cute and comfy, I see nothing wrong with it! 🙂

  41. As long as the shirt/dress is long enough to cover your bottom, I think they are fine for casual wear

  43. I think leggings as pants with a long shirt is super cute! I always wear leggings as pants mostly at home- if going out I make sure to wear a long shirt or sweater with it.

  45. Leggings are all I wear as pants. I had an aneurysm in my leg so I had to have surgery. I have a major scar from my groin all the way down to 2 inches above my ankle. The scar is on the inner side of my leg. I in no way can handle wearing anything that has a thick seem.

  47. Absolutely, leggings are pants! I think as long as they’re not see-through & your goodies are covered, then you’re good to go! 🙂

  50. I love leggings as pants because of the comfort and wear them from spring until the snow flies again.
