I finally broke down..

Lula Roe has been storming the nation for a while now. Having several friends involved with it, I tried on a lot of dresses and skirts etc. But never found anything I just couldn’t live without. The scoopneck is a bit too scoopy for me. The material, while very comfy, I found to be a bit too thing and clingy for me. And the prices were way higher than I would normally spend for what it is.

I finally broke down and ordered when the Lula Roe Noir collection came out.

I Tried It! - Lularoe Noir

My friend gave me a huge discount and I rationalized that a solid, black dress is always great to have on hand and is extremely versatile - dress it up or down, add any color to it and so on and that makes it a great choice for travel.

What I like about my Lularoe Noir Amelia Dress

What I dislike about my Lularoe Noir Amelia Dress

When I take the dress off, my armpits are a weird purple color that looks like bruises - seriously, the color is leeching out of this dress!?!
While the texture does make the dress a little thicker, it is still overall thinner than I expected. I was just happy to have the texture or it would be back to the “too clingy for me” style i had been avoiding.
The rose gold zipper is a classy touch, but it’s really cold on your back. Would have been nice if there was a fabric barrier.

Black matches everything!
Very comfy
Modest, yet cute
Pockets!
The weave texture of material gives a little more stability/thickness
Pleating is cute and something I don’t have a lot of in my wardrobe at the moment
Rose gold zipper

What do you think?

At the discount, I think the dress was an okay to pretty good value. I will wear this a decent amount because of it’s versatility. I do think there are some quality areas that could be improved, though. But who am i?

What are your opinions of the Lularoe empire? Did you try anything from the Noir Line?

2020 Update:

I still own this dress, but find that I don't reach for it as much as I should for one specific reason:
The nasty synthetic material of the Lula Roe Noir Amelia dress doesn't breath well and subsequently traps odor in the armpits. Gross. I have been considering selling this or passing it along for a while because I am just not reaching for it.
I'm now purchasing clothing made of more sustainable fabrics that breath better from brands like encircled.
