Splits59 Dallas Hoodie in Twilight/Nude & Ashby Tank in Yucca

I wrote to Splits59's customer service after my unfortunate order with them last time where both of the items I ordered were not as described by their website.  They were very good about it, and wrote me back within like 5 minutes with a return shipping label.  So then I told them that I actually would like to exchange the Dallas hoodie for the twilight/nude color combo instead.  The gray/blue one I got primarily because I thought there would be a diamond shaped blue colorblock under the armpits, but there wasn't.  I have enough gray, and I don't have anything in this twilight color.  I figured that if they are both solid colors then I would rather have twilight.  Twilight is a gorgeous burgandy/dark eggplant type of color.  I love it, and I think it looks really good with the nude colored hood.  I got it in the same size as the gray color - XS, and it still fits loosely.  This one turns out to be exactly as pictured/described on their website:




Logo on the arm... not nearly as obvious on the light gray one I had before

I actually emailed them back a couple days later when I noticed that they had added new stuff to their sale.  They hadn't shipped my exchange back to me yet, so I had them add this Ashby tank in yucca.  It was on sale for only $25.  These tanks are one of their popular items, but I never tried one on.  It normally sells for $45.  It's made of 97% tencel and 3% spandex.  It looks just like a cotton ribbed tank.  But it's super soft, and pretty thin.  The only size they had was XS.  I thought I'd take a chance on it, but it turns out to be a good size!  I really like how it feels on.  In fact, I have not taken it off since I tried it on earlier today!  The length is pretty long as well, which I like.  The color yucca is like a light teal kind of color.  I like that this tank can double as a workout tank or a casual tank.





I actually also got another Olivia Run top in barberry/apricot!  The one I bought before is a size small, and I think it's just a bit too big and loose on me.  So I was happy they added this top to the sale as well and the only size they had left was XS.  I figure I'd just buy it and then sell the size small later, which is still new with tag on.  The XS definitely fits me better.  So if anyone is interested in the size small, let me know!  This is the size small on me, I think it can fit a normal size medium:

  1. I love the twilight and barberry colors. Splits59 has nice colors. Some brands' colors aren't very appealing and I end up choosing all black.

    1. Yeah I love both of those colors too. With all the Lulu that I buy, the colors lately have all been super bright and young. It's nice to have something like twilight that is more mature and toned down. Black is always nice and versatile, but I get bored with it, especially for tops. Most of my bottoms are black, I don't really want to wear head to toe black. It's the worst when the top and bottom are different shades of black too lol.
