Around October of last year, I noticed a surge in printed leggings, skirts, shirts, and dresses. Everyone seemed to be getting crazy, multicolored clothes from somewhere, but I couldn't figure out where. I'm usually a conservative dresser, but I was slowly becoming obsessed with the printed leggings I was seeing everywhere, so I started asking around. My boyfriend's sister was wearing a maxi skirt one day, and I complimented it. "It's my new Lularoe!" she said. I was pretty sure that was a foreign word, so I just nodded and smiled. A few weeks later, I was invited to a "Lularoe Party" on Facebook. After clicking a few links, I found out that THIS was where everyone was getting their crazy printed clothing.

That was basically the end for me - I was hooked. I ordered a plain black pair of leggings to give it a try, and I fell in love. The legging material is the softest thing in the world, and I became obsessed with the most random prints. Besides my black pair(s), I impulsively bought walrus, french fry, pizza, and candy corn leggings (hello, it was Halloween). Then I found myself eyeing the tops and skirts, too.

Here's the basic rundown of the Lularoe operations: people who are in love with the products sign up to be consultants. From there, they sell their products online (primarily through Facebook) and a customer can buy them usually by commenting sold on a post or on a live video, or through the RoeWithMe website. Then you get an invoice from your consultant and you can either pick up your products (if your consultant is local) or pay for shipping. The catch is trying to get to the leggings, tops, or other products that you want before someone else comments "sold!" on the product. I'm probably so obsessed with buying stuff because I'm competitive and really there's no second guessing buying a Lularoe product. If you don't get it immediately, good luck finding it again! Each print is limited, so the products are basically one of a kind.

If you're thinking of giving Lularoe a try, I would recommend starting with leggings. Those are my primary love. But, I also love the Cassie skirt (a pencil skirt!) and the Carly dress (flowy and very versatile). One of my favorite local consultants is Marisa Ronci; she's super nice and super helpful with any questions that you have regarding products! Feel free to follow the link to her Lularoe Facebook group.

But, just be careful. You might blow through your paychecks on the super comfortable and versatile clothes that Lularoe has to offer.

(Yes, they make little kid leggings, too!)

And I'll never have to search long and hard for a holiday outfit again!
