Sweaty Betty Adrenaline Ombre Run Capri

Somebody posted a picture of these amazing looking Sweaty Betty Adrenaline Ombre Run Capri on this facebook lululemon group I belong to, and I thought they were so pretty!  So it was totally an impulse purchase but I bought it!

They are based out of the UK, so I had to wait quite a bit for them to arrive here.  But I got a code for free shipping, and I believe 20% off or something.  Oh and since they are not based out of California, I didn't have to pay taxes on these tights!  They are listed as $110.4 but I paid $86 or something like that which is not that bad for pretty crops.  Here are some pictures from their site:

But when they arrived, I was so happy that they fit so well!  I got size XS and I was a little worried that they'd be too small, but there is no digging in at all!  But then I turned around to look at my rear... and I was so disappointed to find that they are super sheer!  I mean you could see my underwear without me having to bend down.  It's pretty bad.  So I contacted them right away and they actually suggested sending me a pair of their running underwear to wear underneath free of charge.  Well, I figured that I don't want to deal with returning them, especially to the UK, and I did test them with a pair of running underwear on and the sheerness problem is completely taken care of that way.  So I have decided to keep them!  Look at how many different colored tops they go with!  

The funniest is this Lululemon cool racerback in petit dot dune, because the dots match the dots on the tights exactly!  Like same color and same shapes!  The picture on the very right is the white jacquared mesh cool racerback.

Next I thought about wearing them with blue tops, but I think it looks too smurf-like!  From left to right, I have on the aruba cool racerback, heathered angel blue, and little boy blue.  Aruba and heathered angel blue seriously look the same on these pictures!  I think I like them best with little boy blue.

And these two pictures are with wish blue and lavender - I can't find my majestic cool racerback, but I think it would go with these because it's almost the same color as the top of the capris!!  Argh!

Here they are with the dark gray Alo tank and black embossed manifesto cool racerback:

And you can also go really crazy and pair them with super bright colors!  I always like blue and orange together so I like it with electric orange on the left, and actually think it's not bad with raspberry in the middle.  There's hot pink stitching on the side of the capris, so pow pink swiftly tank on the right would go with them as well, but very wild combo!

Anyways, I was just having fun with different colors, because these crops have so many colors embedded that they are very versatile.  But I kind of like them with something not too crazy like a light or dark color so they can stand out as the sole eye-catching item.  I'm going to have to try them out for an actual workout.  My first impression is that the material feels a little harsh and polyestery, but they do have decent compression.  So we'll see how they perform!
