It all began with a classic pair of black leggings. A friend of mine was hosting a “Battle of the Hostesses” event and invited me along. As someone who appreciates a good pair of leggings, I was curious enough to attend. Initially, I thought spending $25 on leggings was a bit extravagant, especially when I could snag my favorite pair from H&M for just $12.
However, my friend insisted that these leggings were unlike anything I’d ever experienced—so soft they felt like butter. I decided to take the plunge and buy just one pair. To my surprise, I fell head over heels for their comfort. I wore them for three straight days, and I wasn’t shy about sharing my enthusiasm on Facebook. To my delight, many of my friends felt the same way about LuLaRoe.
Once I made my love for LuLaRoe public, I was bombarded with recommendations and added to numerous shopping groups. My friends explained the importance of following multiple consultants to increase my chances of finding the cutest items, as each consultant has a unique inventory. That’s when I learned about “unicorns”—the elusive and highly sought-after prints that make your heart skip a beat. I was told that joining more groups would increase my odds of finding my dream pieces.
A friend connected me with her sister, who was just starting her LuLaRoe business. I felt like I had hit the jackpot, getting in on the ground floor. She quickly became my go-to consultant, and while I love exploring options, I believe having a reliable source is the key to snagging the best finds.
Little did I know that those plain black leggings I purchased would become such a hot commodity in the LuLaRoe world. Finding another pair turned out to be a challenge; they had officially become a unicorn! It was disappointing because black leggings are incredibly versatile. I never saw the point in solid colors like pink or blue, so I shifted my focus to the fun, eye-catching prints that pushed me out of my comfort zone.
I’ve always been hesitant to wear anything that draws attention to my lower half, but LuLaRoe’s adorable patterns were too tempting to resist. My first pair featured charming ladybugs, and since then, I’ve abandoned solid colors altogether. Now, my collection boasts leggings adorned with geometric designs, masquerade masks, sunglasses, cassette tapes, and yes—hipster penguins.
While leggings are often the face of LuLaRoe, the brand offers so much more. The tops fit me perfectly, especially as a taller woman. They provide ample coverage, ensuring I can wear leggings without worrying about unwanted attention. And the dresses? Absolutely adorable! I typically shy away from form-fitting styles, but I took a chance on one and ended up loving it.
Nonetheless, my leggings remain my ultimate favorites. I have my own little wishlist of unicorns I’m determined to track down. I’ve enlisted my fellow LuLaRoe enthusiasts to help keep an eye out for me, and I do the same for them. My first big quest began with a pair of sugar skull leggings from the Halloween collection. I was in my sister’s car, obsessively refreshing a sales group, but missed out on them. Thankfully, a friend later found them for me in a resale group, which meant paying a little extra, but I was more than willing to splurge.
These buy/sell groups are great for discovering unicorns (oops, did I just reveal my secrets?), but I’ve also had success on eBay. I’ve managed to score nearly all my coveted leggings from there, even if it meant paying above retail. We all have our indulgences, right? Just to clarify, I’m not a consultant, I don’t receive any perks from LuLaRoe, and I didn’t get any freebies—I’m just smitten with these uniquely patterned leggings that feel divine.
I know there are mixed opinions about LuLaRoe, and I’ve pondered some of those thoughts myself. Yes, they can be pricey. But for me, they’re a delightful treat that I’ve budgeted for. I don’t splurge often, so I think there are worse ways to spend my money. In fact, I haven’t worn jeans in months—no regrets here.
