No Limits Tank Top.....Let's Talk About This.

So, as I said in my last post, I love Lululemon and their designs, but just can't afford to indulge in them regularly...if ever.  Which brings me to the exploration of various other brands out there that mimic the same designs Lulu comes out with.  Often times, these other brands are WAY less expensive, but look, fit and feel just as good or BETTER than Lululemon.  Go figure.

Today let's look at the No Limits Tank top by Lululemon.  What we love about it and maybe what we don't love so much about it as well as exploring the alternatives that are out there that are friendlier to your budget.

Great Features:

    - Built in shelf bra

    - Loose fitting fabric that provides coverage, but moves with you and keeps you cool

    - Hip hugging band at the bottom to keep the top in place as you move through practice

Not So Great Features:

    - shoulder straps that DIG into your traps and are non-adjustable

    - High price!!! $64.00

Here are your alternatives.  Let's go through them one at a time from left to right.

       - hip hugging bottom hem

       - great colors

       - stellar price. $20

    Drawbacks

       - top is cut shorter so the top tends to ride up instead of staying in place.

       - no removable padding for added coverage

And of course, on the end we have the Lululemon No Limits Tank which we have already discussed. You now have all the information you need about the various other brands out there that make a similar product from a person who owns and uses the products herself.  Go forth and make informed decisions based on what you now know.

Our society puts pressure on us to conform to certain norms especially when it comes to how we look and how we dress.  In the yoga community, it seems that Lululemon rules.  If you feel pressure to own Lululemon clothing....because I once did....just know that you have choices....choices that make you feel less guilty about spending your money on an article of clothing that looks similar, but is just as good or better than that expensive brand.  You can feel better knowing you didn't jump on the Lululemon band wagon, but look just as cute or cuter!!!

Namaste!
