lululemon athletica

Okay Lulu, lets just cut the sexist crap here. Your men’s clothes are awesome. They are so freaking comfortable I just want to rub your shirts against my face all day long. Please give me more than 3 items to choose from! I will gladly hand over my dollars to you.
Seriously: Most. Comfortable. Clothing. Ever.

Let’s just say it’s not what it used to be.
The store used to be a true outlet where there would be daily promotions (extra $ 10 off pants, extra $ 20 off jackets etc.)
I’m not sure if it’s because there was a change in management or an outlet wide thing that they stopped this almost a year ago.
Now it’s just a dumping ground for full price store sale items. Not only that but their prices are usually higher compared to full price store sales and WMTM. For example, my local store has a hoodie on sale for $ 59 that the Commons are still asking $ 79 for, no.
There are also some really old pieces that have been sitting there for years…

I expected a lot from this Lululemon. I read some reviews and was sooooooo excited to go. I had $ 400 cash ready to spend and was going to charge the rest if it came to that. I spent maybe $ 150? There were a few friendly girls, but the rest were snobby and annoyed. I understand, it’s Woodbury Commons. Everyone and her mother walks around this place with huge suitcases in hand and are pushing and shoving through the entire place. Don’t even attempt Ralph Lauren– it’s a terrible mess. Anyway, I couldn’t help but to notice they were very attentive to the thin blonde girls buying one pair of those hideous older «heat it up» shorts for $ 24.99. Meanwhile, I’m trying on anything that says 6 on the tag… a $ 200 puffer, pants, crops, tanks, bras, basically the entire store. I get a few nods of «Yes, that looks like it fits.» Maybe I was a bit aggressive? I wanted to stock up on workout gear. I was disappointed to say the least.
Edit: I took a friend from the UK to the outlets and stopped in. The girls were much nicer than my last visit. The store does not have much in 2 – 6, so just keep that in mind if you are thinking of splurging.

After visiting the disappointing store in Gilroy, California it was terrific to return to the outlet store in Central Valley. This is a terrific Lululemon Athletica. They have lots of clothing styles for guys and dolls that really are twenty to forty percent off of their retail store prices. More importantly, they have items in all sizes not just tiny and super large. You will never get better service anywhere. Taylor, was an absolutely wonderful sales associate. She was happy, full of suggestions, and frankly we just loved listening to her talk. Lululemon is lucky to have Taylor. When Taylor had to leave for dinner, Zoe stepped right in and did a masterful job as well. This is a great outlet store.

I love Woodbury Commons, and I’ve been looking forward to checking out this store.
Right away, I saw the Flow and Go tote front and center. It costs more at the outlet than what I purchased it for online.
As for other items, I saw the Liberty pants for $ 24 (online $ 49), and the women’s section, which is much larger than the men’s, was neatly organized according to size with tops on the top racks and crops and shorts on the bottom racks. Longer pants were organized also by size nearby.
I saved 25% off merchandise that is currently in stores right now. My Scuba Hoodie *Sparkle was $ 76 (orig $ 108). I got a Liberty SS Tee for $ 54 (orig $ 68), a Post Bliss tee for $ 64 (orig $ 88), and a Meditate Pullover for $ 69 (orig $ 88). YAY!
This store is definitely crammed with items, all of which are pretty current (either on sale at full price or in the «We Made Too Much» category). On this particular Saturday, there were lots of shoppers, so there was a wait for the dressing rooms, but the employees are nice and make conversation with you and will hold your items as you look around. This is definitely one of the more crowded stores I went into today (7 for all Mankind, Anne Fontaine, Barneys New York Outlet, Giorgio Armani, J. Crew, Last Call by Neiman Marcus, The North Face, Ralph Lauren Home, Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5^th, Tory Burch, and Tumi).
I think there was only one sports bra in size 6 and none in size 8. I don’t think I saw many size 2’s either. The store was not in the coupon book you can purchase at customer service, and they do not offer student discounts. I also wish they had more dressing rooms, but I suppose during the week it’s not as crowded and not as necessary. Nevertheless, I am a fan of the brand and lifestyle and am on the Lululemon bandwagon.

Lululemon was one of the main reasons for our trip to Woodbury Common Outlets. I envisioned spending a few hundred dollars on what I was sure would be a good choice of running shorts and tanks.
Sadly, I was very disappointed in the selection. There were absolutely no running shorts, and a very slim selection of running tops (specifically for size 6). They did have a ton of pants and jackets though.
I ended up buying only one workout top, $ 38 instead of the normal $ 58. A good deal, yes, but the very same deal I would have gotten in the sale section of the Honolulu Lululemon store. Sigh.

Pretty much a mecca for lulu addicts, as most of their clothing is 40−70% off. I was there memorial day weekend and tried on about half of their store’s inventory, but the staff was patient and helpful. There isn’t much space in the store, so I definitely recommend shopping during the week or off-​peak hours.
