lululemon lemon?

I can't believe it--I bought the popular (and pricey) lululemon yoga pants (groove crop II) and noticed today that some of the threads at the waist (decorative trim) have pulled out.  And they're in the middle of the trim  line, so I can't cut it.  I only wear these pants at home--they're so tight I won't wear them to the yoga studio, since I walk there.  When I bought the pants, I told the sales clerk I needed a larger size--she said I had the correct size.  That if the pants were too small, she would be able to see light shining through the fabric!  Even though I'm fairly thin, more of my weight is in my lower half, so I'm self-conscious about how I look in them.  So why did I buy them, you ask?  Guess I thought I'd get used to them.  They do feel good, since they compress the legs a bit--made my sore leg feel better.

I'm probably especially miffed that the threads came out since the robburglar stole my other pair of lululemon crops.  Stole the beach bag they were in, I mean.

Reminds my of the time I bought a pair of Liz Claiborne pants, and the button fell off the first time I put the pants on.  No, they weren't too tight--the button hadn't been sewn on properly.  That was the first and only time I bought anything from Liz Claiborne.  Although I learned recently that Liz Claiborne company owned the Sigrid Olsen line.  That was one of my favorite lines of clothing, and Claiborne dumped it.  Another example of fashion leaving me, not me leaving it.  So being an aging boomer and spending less on clothing ends up being a self-fulfilling prophesy--stores offer less that's appealing to me, so I in turn lose interest in shopping.  For clothes, at least.  I could spend a lot (more) on house and garden...
