I’m always amazed at the power and reach of social media and the connections I’ve been able to make thanks to it. A few weeks ago my Instagram friend Tracy, put me in contact with her friend from college Sue, who recently moved to Louisville and became a LuLaRoe consultant. Sue invited me to her first open house and when I shared that I wouldn’t be able to make it {morning 5k + afternoon/evening sorority advisor commitments #wah}, she was sweet enough to offer to let me shop beforehand!
While I’ve been hearing and seeing a lot of LuLaRoe on Instagram and through fellow bloggers {I love Tif’s post with her Cassie skirt!}, this was the first time that I’d shopped, tried on and touched LuLaRoe clothing.
So here’s the basic gist: each LuLaRoe consultant is able to place an order for the styles she wants to carry. After that, it’s all a surprise — the fabric is made into a variety of styles so there’s no telling what each consultant will receive. It also means that when you see a piece you like in your size, you should grab it, because you probably will not be able to find it again. {There’s some exceptions — like the pair of solid black leggings I ended up buying.} Overall, I had a great shopping experience. I love that the clothes:
- come in a wide variety of bright and vibrant patterns and prints
- are incredibly modest — tee’s are oversized and perfect to wear with leggings, dresses and skirts hit at at least the knee
- sizing goes from 2T to 3X – every lady you know should be able to find something for her {This might be my favorite!!}
Sue was kind enough to not only open her home to me, but also to tell me all about LuLaRoe and allow me to try on every and anything I thought was cute. This Cassie skirt immediately caught my eye since we all are completely aware of my love for all things cobalt. The mint polka dots were a huge bonus and I was super pumped when the skirt fit {I went with a small for reference.} I like that the Cassie is made of a stretchy but somewhat thick and forgiving material. The waist can be folded over {like I’m wearing it here} or left alone for a length that hits the knee.
I was trying to decide how I wanted to style this and while going through my closet realized that it would look so cute mixed with even more polka dots. I liked my white rose necklace to bring out some more neutral color and emphasize the white polka dots in my shirt. I always forget how lacking my jewelry collection is when it comes to white necklaces…but it really is. I have a bad habit of picking something colorful over something neutral, but I’m currently crushing on these fun white necklaces:
Sue’s first online shopping party is tomorrow, Thursday, April 21! You can shop it by joining her VIP Facebook group here.

I love this, such a cute outfit! I just bought 3 LuLaRoe dresses, I love the fit and fabric. I just wish I didn’t have to hunt for what I want, it can be time consuming!

Thanks Emily! The thicker fabric is awesome; I immediately fell in love, especially with the thicker leggings. I think the concept of limited edition fabric is neat, but I get how it could be frustrating if you’re looking for a specific print!

Thanks for the shoutout! I love this skirt, and it looks amazing how you’ve styled it. I also didn’t know that they had black leggings!!! And I’ve been gravitating towards more neutral jewelry sometimes as well. . .if I see a necklace like yours, totally buying!
