Big Lot of Workout Clothes! Lululemon & Splits59!

I don't normally buy lots, since I prefer individual items.  But I recently bought a pretty big lot because I was interested in multiple things and I figured I could just get rid of the rest.  Well, this lot has a bunch of winners!  Also some losers of course.  But I ended up getting the lot for such a bargain I feel like I robbed somebody!  Here are the things I'm keeping:

A pair of NWT Splits59 Ginger tights in this dark gray color with a crazy wide reflective band going down the side of the legs!  I think they are super fun, and they are size S, same as my other Ginger tights in black.  I also have Ginger tights in marianna blue, but those are XS and are a bit tight.  So size S is my preferred size in these.





I like that the coral colored ribbing is on the front on one leg and on the back on the other leg.  This wide reflective band on the side looks dark silver metallic with mesh over, as you can see in the detailed  picture.

I also got another pair of Splits59 Nova capri tights in black with light gray mesh stripe down the side of the legs.  I cannot say enough good things about Nova capris!  These are size XS, same as my other 2 pairs of Novas here and here.  I find the Nova style runs slightly bigger so I prefer size XS in them.







Then there is a Lululemon Inspire pullover in heathered lolo purple that I mentioned in last week's Sunday Funday post.  It's in such good condition that it looks like it's never been worn!  It's a size 4 as well, which is a perfect fit.  I love this pullover!







I also got a Lululemon Namaste tank that I also wore last week to pilates and posted in the Sunday Funday post.  It's also size 4.  I never tried it on when it was in stores, but it is such a flattering fit!  Very comfy too.  I love that the halter style can be worn as street wear.  I think I will hem an inch off of it, because it's very very long.  That way I can also get rid of the Lululemon logo that is on the lower left of the tank and it will be even more street-wear-friendly.





Then there is this awesome Splits59 ribbed hoodie that I love.  It's in brand new condition as well.  I love the color, and that it has a hood in a contrasting color.  I also love the material, which is the same soft ribbed cotton they use in their popular Ashby tanks.  It also has thumb holes!  It's a size XS.  I probably would have preferred a size up, but I can make this one work:






Ok, next there are these mystery Lululemon tights.  They are soooo awesome!  What are they???  I'm dying to know the name.  They are definitely an older style with diamond gusset.  They have huge side pockets on both legs with horizontal zipper.  Bottom has a long zipper as well and is ruched.  They are in like-new condition as well.  They are size 2, which is one size smaller than my normal Lulu size, but they actually fit.  I took a bunch of photos of them.  If anyone can identify these, please let me know!





Look at the huge pocket!






Lastly, I got another Splits59 Olivia Run tee in granita!  I love the barberry one that I have.  This one is older so it is slightly different.  It doesn't have embroidery like the barberry one does.  But it has mesh on the upper back which is cool.  Granita is a grayish purple color.  I have a pair of Nova capris in gray with granita down the side, and I also have a Sabrina tank in granita.  It looks like I'm forming a little collection around this color lol.  This top is size XS, same as my other one.  It's a looser fit that I really like.  The material is just so buttery soft and divine!



Mesh on the sleeves too


I got some pretty good scores I think!  I have to sort through the rest of my lot, and probably post a lot of it for sale later.  There are some other good stuff in this lot, like Lululemon Energize pants, Scoop Neck tank, other tanks, running skirts, dresses/tunic, running luon pullover, cool racerbacks, etc. that I'm not keeping.  I also have a bunch of personal items that I'm getting ready to sell as well, so it looks like a huge closet cleaning is coming up shortly!

  3. I think those are the Insight pants. I used to have a pair of the crops in the static color but sold them due to my chunky calves not really fitting. They look great on you!

    1. I just googled them and I think you are right on!! They are definitely the Insight pants. Looks like they came out in late 2011/early 2012 which was the time I took a brief Lulu hiatus lol. Thank you!!! I love them, but they are a little long... whatever!

    2. Yep they're insight pants. They my very first lulu purchase! I sold them because I lost a bunch of weight, but I've been looking for a replacement pair in size 4-6 for a long time! They are my faves, great score!

    3. I love my insight pants - have them in gray and black for running in winter. Tey also made denim versions but those were size up so the ones i bought on eBay didn't fit and I wound up reselling.

      Insight pants are my fave partially bc on my long-arse legs, they are normal length which is really hard for me to find!

  5. I got those same Ginger tights from the online sale back in July! I love that the coral stripe has a reflective line down the middle, so you have reflective parts on the front and back. They are super comfy- I love wearing them for crossfit.
