| - I don't consider myself cheap or frugal, but there are things I am willing to pay an arm and a leg for and things that I am not.
I have no problem going to nordstrom and spending $200-300 on a pair of good jeans as long as they're something that I know will last, are figure flattering (yes, guys worry about that too) and are something that I will wear a lot.
Now I consider myself athletic and active, but typically, workout wear is not something I have spent a lot of money on. I have a few Under Armour pieces, but those were gifts. The work out pieces I have purchased for myself are all from Target or Walmart.
That is until now. I had been in lululemon a few times and never made a purchase. Recently, my boss at job #1 had started raving about their clothes and how you "get what you pay for". So I finally went in with the intent to buy rather than just look.
I had just signed up for a three month pass to a yoga studio by where I live (Central Phoenix) and explained to the sales person that I wanted something loose and light weight that I could do yoga and run in. She shows me a specific style short and shirt and explains the "four way stretch", which I thought was a bunch of b.s. that they tell people to make them think their stuff is so great blah blah blah.
Well, it is not b.s. and their stuff really is great. I bought the shorts ($68) and the shirt ($64) after trying them on. Wow! They are beyond comfortable. They move with you and stretch everywhich way you do. Its almost like wearing nothing at all.
My favorite things about them is they don't bunch in the crotch when I run and I don't have to worry about mooning the person behind me in yoga. I'm sure whoever is behind me is also thankful for that!
In addition to the great clothes, the customer service provided by all three associates was phenomenal, She explained the sizing (I normally wear a large shirt and 33 shorts, I had to get an XL shirt and 36 shorts) and told me the washing instructions without me asking.
lululemon customer for life!
