That's Lularoe, right? Did we just become best friends?

I started my Lula obsession several months ago with my Flying pig legging (  When Pigs Fly ). From leggings, I moved onto Irmas, Randys, and Carlys. I found my heart being pulled toward the Nicole dress even though it scared me due to my awkward post-baby body shape. SURPRISE, the Nicole dress is everything that everyone said it would be and more! And, from there the rest is truly history.

I have amassed a pretty substantial Lula collection to feature several of the styles from the extensive line of Lularoe. Truly, I have found a company that does have something for everyone. As a former plus size girl, I remember struggling to find stylish and flattering clothing. As a weight loss surgery patient, I found it difficult to find clothing that fit my body. Honestly, I struggled to even dress myself as an average size woman. And, today, here I am 40 years young, mom to three kiddos ages 18, 5 and 4 and I’m so thankful that I’m not wearing mom jeans, grungy t-shirts covered in spit up, and I can actually look stylish, cute and most importantly confident. 

Terry Cassagne-Hoye was one of the first Lularoe consultants who I started “stalking” from her initial launch with the company in September 2016.  I was a unicorn hunter for specific leggings, and I was so excited to actually participate in her launch with brand new inventory. Terry is well-organized, very generous in her giveaways, and is always on top of customer service. While Facebook can be difficult in the group setting, she’s always been quick to respond if there was a technical issue. One afternoon while perusing her group, I noticed she was looking for a blogger to review some of the new styles she would be introducing in her VIP shop. You can check out the group here Terry's Fabulous VIP Group . I was excited to be selected, and I can’t wait to share my thoughts on these two awesome styles that Terry is looking forward to offering her VIPs.

Madison Skirt - The Madison skirt is full skirted and features hand-set box pleats and hidden pockets. It is comfortable and practical for everyday life, but easily dressed up when the occasion demands something fancier. Truthfully, wearing it makes those everyday tasks seem a bit more of, well, a special occasion.

I won’t deny being totally intimidated by the pleats on the Madison skirt.  I’ve paired it here with a Lularoe Perfect Tee and with a tank with jean jacket. My favorite aspect of Lularoe styles is just how versatile each one can be for every woman. My body shape is not necessarily the best for pleats, particularly right at the waist line, but I was pleasantly surprised at how cute and fun this skirt was for me to wear. I prefer wearing it higher up and belted as pictured. I also paired it Lularoe Perfect Tee and that made it the perfect outfit for a quick day out running errands. And, the POCKETS, oh the pockets who doesn’t love hidden pockets?  The Madison skirt is one that can be worn in all seasons. I can wear this in the spring and summer months with flip flops or flats. And, then in the fall and winter, pair it with tights and great pair of booties. The material blend is 96% polyester and 5% spandex which offers a comfortably cool and a wrinkle free skirt. The wide band elastic waist is forgiving in the sizing. As a reference, I am solid size 10/12 in the “retail” world for most retailers. The Madison skirt I’m wearing a size medium, and it’s the perfect fit. Overall, while the Madison scared me initially, I have fallen in love with this skirt and look forward to adding a couple more to my wardrobe. 

Nicole Dress - The Nicole dress boasts a fitted bodice, flattering scoop neck, mid-length sleeves, and a full circle skirt. It is simultaneously casual and dressy and, in a word, feminine! It is the sort of dress that brings out all that is girl in you - and we know you will not be able to resist giving it a twirl. Fun and fashionable? Yes, please.

The Nicole dress was the one dress was so hesitant to purchase that it took not one but two friends to convince me that the Nicole was the “dress for me”. I found the cutest prints in the Nicole dress and absolutely love the fitted bodice, and the half sleeves are perfect my very flawed post weight loss surgery arms. Girls, we all know how much we hate our “batwings”, and I am here to tell you that the Nicole sleeve is my saving grace on disguising my post weight loss surgery arms. Terry wanted me to review the Elegant line of Lularoe styles offered this last holiday season. The Elegant collection is a very limited edition of prints and colors with new and exciting material options. OH the shiny and sparkles that twinkled in each style really encompassed every holiday party and gathering possible. When I received the Elegant Nicole dress, I was so excited! With the Elegant collection, you’ll need to need to definitely account for material differences. I have found that the Elegant Nicole, pictured here in Large, is a bit smaller than my other Nicole dresses in the cotton and the waffle texture. However, the only noticeable difference in this particular Nicole is the bust measurement being the smaller. The arms, waist and hip areas all fit the same. My absolute favorite style aspect of the Nicole is the drop waist and twirl skirt. This dress has a vintage, skater dress feel while still being dressed up for Sunday services or perfect for date nights. The Elegant Nicole is so flattering and I feel absolutely beautiful in this dress. I’ve paired it here with textured tights and heels with various accessories from my jewelry collection. If I were to pick a favorite dress from the Lularoe line it would be a really close race for 1^st place between the Nicole and Carly dress. The Nicole dress is available in a wide range of sizes, and there are prints along with solids to fit any woman’s preference.

If you aren’t sure on sizing, message Terry with any questions and she will happily assist you on finding the perfect fit. She’s been an excellent “personal shopper” for me. I really struggle with styling sometimes, and stepping out of my comfort zone hasn’t been the easiest. When I have needed a top to match a skirt or leggings, Terry has always been able to whip up an outfit that is spot on for my personality and personal preferences.
