But today when I went to exchange my Practice Freely Tank for a size 6, I decided to get the Flow and Go in the new deep indigo color.
Update: Couldn't help but to take a picture of it with white bottoms - this is a winning color combo!
I remember that last time, I was kind of in between a size 4 and size 6, in the sense that I liked how size 6 looked in the back better than size 4, but it wasn't as supportive. Even the shoulder straps were kind of falling down with the 6. So I ended up with size 4 and never 100% happy with the fit.
This time, I also tried on both sizes and pretty much have the same issue with how the back fabric drapes on me. The size 4 came way too high, almost covering the bottom of the horizontal strap. But they must have made some improvements to this tank because the size 6 straps did not fall off my shoulders like last time. Also, the neck strap is not nearly as tight as last time. Oh yeah, and I clearly remember what a struggle it was last time to put this tank on, I think it took me 3 tries in the fitting room. But this time it was way easy! So, I went with the size 6. I feel that even though the support is not as good as 4, I won't be doing anything extraneous in this tank anyways.
I also saw it in aquamarine and white, which are both pretty but I have No Limit tanks in both aruba and white so I did not want to get another style that is very similar from the front. I like the deep indigo color, but was worried about what to wear it to match. Black bottoms seem a bit boring as it would blend in too much with the tank. I think white would look amazing, but I only have 1 pair of white groove crops, which I never wear. Here in the photos I happened to be wearing the heathered black astro wunder under crops, which looks pretty much charcoal in person. I think it looks ok with deep indigo.
On a different note, I did find size 6 of the Practice Freely tank to fit better in the back than the size 4. From the front, it is not too much of a difference. The bra also covers more on the side in size 6, so I am happy to keep it in the larger size.

Here's the size 4 pic from yesterday which looks pretty much identical from the front |
And this is size 6 from the back which looks much better without the mega pooch |
So now with these 2 new tanks, 3 No Limit tanks, and one Let It Loose tank, I have 6 tanks that are very similar in style, especially in the front! But I like this style better than the baby doll style and I do wear it quite a bit so I think I will get good use out of them.
I love my Flow and Go in Alarming - I always get compliments when I wear it since it's so unique. (I'm the one that cut the strings out of the neck strap so it fit better). I may have to get an aquamarine one too!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, that was such a great idea!! But I think you will find the new batch looser in the neck and probably don't have to cut out the stitches again. Aquamarine is super pretty! If I didn't already have an aruba tank I would be all over that.
DeleteThey didn't have them when I was at my local store Wednesday - and they aren't online! I guess I'll just have to watch online like a hawk so I can snag one! I ended up into a swiftly long sleeved t in aquamarine. I keep seeing things and saying I'll never spend the money on them ($68 for a long sleeved t, $50 for a scarf) and just end up buying them eventually anyway. I am a sucker - I just need to own the fact that I am addicted. :)

Hehe there was a time I thought lulu was way too expensive. Then I became a sucker too and bought like a million things.
DeleteAhhh.. Haha I had JUST convinced myself that I didn't NEED the flow & go... after seeing it on you, I'm pretty sure I can't live without it. Thanks :-P
ReplyDeleteIt's true you don't need it. Be strong!!!
DeleteHahahaha just get it before it sells out!
I think I need that flow and go in deep indigo but I bet it will never get uploaded online! haha
ReplyDeleteReally? I think it will... I'm pretty sure the Flow and Gos were online last time they came out. They had tons of them at the store I went to, in all sizes.
DeleteI hope so! Everything I've wanted lately hasn't come online on the Canadian side and I'm nowhere near a store, fingers crossed on this one!! :) haha
DeleteWhat does the tatoo on your back say?
ReplyDeleteIt says Fides Servanda Est. Latin for "faith must be kept". I got it when I was 18 and thought I was super cool. Lol.
DeleteBoth the Practice Freely and Flow & Go look fabulous on you - makes me want to run out to buy both! Could you tell me between the two, which one do you like more? Flow&Go is super sexy, but not sure how practical it is... thanks for your feedback!
ReplyDeleteHi there, thanks! I think the main difference is that the practice freely has a more supportive bra than the flow and go. It is also made of sheer luon instead of circle mesh. They are both nice materials but I always like sheer luon the best of all lulu fabrics. You are right the flow and go definitely is not as practical. So if you can only get one then I say get the practice freely! To me the flow and go is more of a novelty tank, as in I wont wear it as much but it still looks nice sitting in my drawer lol.
DeleteI know exactly what you mean!!!
DeleteHowever, hey, you can always sell it on ebay much later. ;-)
