If you haven’t come across LuLaRoe, you must have been in a black hole or taking a break from social media. The buzz around “butter leggings” and the brand’s eclectic offerings is hard to miss. LuLaRoe is a clothing line that operates on a multi-level marketing (MLM) model, akin to brands like Pampered Chef or Mary Kay. Their apparel is stretchy, comfy, and boasts decent quality, featuring everything from solids and stripes to whimsical prints like zebras and root beer mugs. They offer skirts, tops, dresses, and, of course, those famously soft leggings.
These leggings feel like a dream. It may sound odd to compare clothing to something edible, but seriously, they’re incredibly soft. When I see someone wearing them, I can’t help but want to touch them (yes, that’s a little strange, but you’ll understand once you try them!).
No one’s sponsoring me or providing free leggings for this review—oh, how I wish! The leggings feature high waistbands, which is a breath of fresh air after years of low-rise jeans. They create a flattering silhouette, and I own four pairs that have practically replaced all my regular pants. If these leggings could talk, I’d be making out with them in public without a care!
You can purchase LuLaRoe items through individual consultants who host pop-up shops or manage Facebook groups. However, there’s a distinct difference between large buy-and-sell groups and those maintained by individual consultants. The latter often features a more controlled environment.
Here’s what you need to know before diving in:
- Group Rules Exist: Most groups will have a pinned post that outlines the dos and don’ts. It’s crucial to follow these rules like they’re your new job. Trust me, you don’t want to be the one who gets booted for breaking a minor guideline!
- Keep Comments to Yourself: If you think a certain piece looks like it came from the clearance section of a discount store, keep it to yourself. There’s someone out there who adores that item, and trust me, you don’t want to face the wrath of a determined leggings aficionado.
- Unicorns Aren’t Just for Fairy Tales: In LuLaRoe speak, a unicorn refers to a highly sought-after pattern, like pizza leggings or solid black ones. Limited patterns mean different consultants have unique inventory, so the search for your “unicorn” can get real.
- Multiple Groups Are a Given: Once you get hooked, you’ll find yourself joining multiple groups. You might start with one consultant but soon find yourself exploring others in pursuit of that elusive design.
- Second-Hand LuLaRoe Is a Thing: You might find yourself shelling out more for gently used leggings than for new ones. “Just a little frayed” doesn’t make a $50 price tag any less shocking.
- Learn the Lingo: Familiarize yourself with common acronyms like NWT (New With Tags) and ISO (In Search Of). These will help you navigate the community without feeling lost.
- Heartfelt Requests for Help: You might see posts asking for help due to personal struggles. While empathy is essential, the fixation on leggings during tough times can seem a bit off.
- Bidding Wars Get Real: Auction groups can get intense. The competition for certain prints can lead to heated exchanges, and you never know what might happen if someone feels deprived of their beloved leggings.
- Roe as a Verb: Get ready to use “Roe” in all sorts of ways. “This is how I Roe,” or “Show me your best Roe!” will soon become part of your everyday vocabulary.
- Caution Advised: While I love LuLaRoe, don’t let yourself get swept into a bidding frenzy. Remember, they’re just leggings! You’ll find new favorites, and your life will go on without them.
I’ve found a fantastic consultant in my area where I can see and try the clothes firsthand. This way, I avoid the disappointment of online shopping mishaps. While LuLaRoe can be a fun experience, some people take it a bit too seriously. Navigating the social media groups can feel like wandering into a dark alley—exciting but slightly scary, so proceed with caution!
