If you haven’t stumbled upon LuLaRoe yet, you might be living under a rock or taking a break from social media. The online buzz is all about their sought-after “butter leggings” and the brand’s unique offerings. LuLaRoe is a clothing line marketed through multi-level marketing (MLM), similar to popular brands like Pampered Chef or Mary Kay. Their garments are stretchy, comfortable, and boast decent quality. From solid colors to quirky patterns like root beer mugs and zebras, they offer a variety of styles, including skirts, shirts, dresses, and, of course, those famous leggings.
These leggings are as soft as butter—yes, that’s a strange comparison, but they truly feel amazing. When I see someone sporting LuLaRoe leggings, I often have the impulse to reach out and touch them (I know, it sounds odd, but they really are that soft). And no, I’m not being compensated for this; I wish I were!
With a high waistband that sits comfortably below the bust, these leggings have revolutionized my approach to pants. After years of battling low-rise jeans, I can finally say goodbye to muffin tops. I own several pairs and have nearly broken up with traditional pants entirely. If these leggings could talk, I’d be in a public display of affection with them.
You can purchase LuLaRoe items through various consultants, often via pop-up shops or Facebook groups. Be aware that there are distinct differences between large buy-and-sell groups and those maintained by individual consultants, particularly in terms of group dynamics.
Here’s what I’ve learned along the way:
- Follow the Rules: Most groups have a pinned post outlining conduct rules. While they may position the group as a cheerful environment, the rules can be strict. Following them is crucial to avoid being removed.
- Keep Opinions to Yourself: If you think a piece looks silly, keep that to yourself. Someone likely adores that item, and criticizing it could provoke unexpected anger. Just scroll past it!
- Understanding “Unicorns”: In LuLaRoe lingo, a “unicorn” refers to a highly sought-after pattern. Black leggings, pizza-themed designs, or any holiday prints are coveted treasures.
- Join Multiple Groups: If you catch the LuLaRoe bug, one group simply won’t suffice. You may start with one consultant but will find yourself exploring others in search of that perfect piece.
- Used LuLaRoe: The market for pre-owned leggings exists, and some people are willing to pay inflated prices for gently used items. You might come across listings that seem absurd, but they are surprisingly common.
- Acronyms Everywhere: Familiarize yourself with the terminology. For example:
- NWT: New with tags
- NWOT: New without tags
- EUC: Excellent used condition
- GUC: Good used condition
- FSOT: For sale or trade
- ISO: In search of
- Sob Stories: Occasionally, you’ll encounter heartfelt pleas for free leggings amid personal hardships. While empathy is important, it’s a strange fixation during tough times.
- Intense Bidding: Auctions for LuLaRoe items can become heated, reminiscent of the chaos seen during Beanie Baby frenzies. Be cautious; bidding wars can get intense and competitive.
- “Roe” as a Verb: The term “Roe” has become a playful way to describe the act of engaging with LuLaRoe items, so don’t be surprised if you hear phrases like “This is how I Roe.”
- Caution to Buyers: While LuLaRoe has its charms, it’s important not to get swept up in the frenzy of bidding wars. Remember, they’re just leggings! Life will go on without them, and you might stumble upon your perfect find when you least expect it.
I’ve found a consultant I trust who sells locally, allowing me to see patterns in person and avoid the pitfalls of online shopping. It’s a good way to indulge in my new passion without the stress that can accompany online sales.
