Community LuLaRoe

[Cheesegirl78]

A lot of the leggings look like stuff I see 8 year old girls wearing. Do adult women really wear these out of the house?

I found a review of LuLaRoe and this was under the subheader of "There's lots to love about LuLaRoe":

Y'all ain't ever heard of Coldwater Creek? Seriously, why buy this and not buy clothes from a real store where their shit doesn't fall apart immediately?

God forbid a Mormon woman bares her shoulders.
Lets make women look as dumpy as possible.

Not LuLaRoe related, but the shilling of essential oils and incense is equally as ridiculous (if not more so in regards to the oils). Found this gem in a group I'm in about these annoying pyramid scheme companies.

Jolly ole saint Christmas dick, cumming down a chimney near you.

There's a general pyramid scheme/MLM thread over in Community Watch, by the way.

I don't get why so many of them wear those sleeveless lace extra long vest things. Why?

At risk of :powerlevel: it's what all the weird young'un religious girls wear these days. They match with the Jesus sandals and the cross made of literal nails hanging from their necks. I'm sure this is just Mormon moms trying to be "hip with the times."

They're part of LLR's product line. I think they're supposed to be a light, summer/hot weather-appropriate alternative to the usual fatroll-concealing oversized cardigans and big overshirts that are a staple of momwear.

Dusters are sorta creeping back into style, and until the launch of the Deanne earlier this month the Sarah was one of LLR’s most expensive items at $70 a piece. Plus they instantly modest up any outfit! Perfect for the conscientious young woman on the go!

Edit- the sleeveless one is called the Joy, it retails at $60. Because layering. When you’re wearing nothing but cheap polyester throwing a lace long line vest on top is the best idea.

A long dangly sleeveless cardigan thing seems really impractical for a mom, though. Any time you have to bend over it'll get in the way, it'll catch on things, etc.

I kind of like the Sarah. But I'm talking about what these ladies are wearing:

edit: didn't see your edit when I posted this
anyway it's fugly

I misread your original post. That’s the Joy, it’s a $60 chunk of cheap lace they cut arm holes in. LLR pushes layering like crazy, because pattern mixing and other stupid reasons. I don’t think I’ve seen any of them in the wild other than on consultants.

 

[Crunchy Leaf]

I dislike the Joy because it's useless. It adds nothing.
The PATTERN MIXING, my God, I am the Queen of no taste and even I wouldn't mix patterns like they do!

So, allegedly Deanne Stidham, lead lady at LuLaRoe told consultants during a no phones allowed training session to “get on their knees and please their man for five minutes so he’ll let you spend more on LuLaRoe.” For a company that hypes modesty, blowjobs for ugly leggings doesn’t sound very modest.

I'm usually against the idea of women having to ask their husbands for money, but with LuLaRoe, not a single one of them can be trusted with having her own, so I get it.

I am baffled by people who aren't consultants, but they do own tons of LuLaRoe clothes. How many pairs of leggings do you need? I have three, and there's only one pair I wear regularly because the other two don't fit right. They're plain black and from Forever 21. What's wrong with, idk, real pants?

It’s funny because LLR hypes making women independent and empowered! But suck some dick for your ugly leggings habit.

I’ll admit to having a little pile of leggings. I love leggings because they’re brightly colored and have patterns I like on them, and sometimes you just don’t want to wear pants and shaving your legs to wear a dress sounds miserable and it’s not appropriate to wear sweats. I never got into unicorn hunting. I’m not going to join a thousand groups to find a single pair of leggings with hamburgers printed on them. There’s other delightfully tacky leggings waiting. However, lots of former consultants and fanatics complain about unintentional weight gain because you don’t notice your clothes fitting tighter if they’re all made of stretchy fabric.

Go to salt lake city. Unless they're flooded with "consultants", you'll see that stuff everywhere. The last time I visited friends there, I saw this crap far too much. I had no idea what it was until my friend's wife pointed out that she sold that shit.

I find non-skinny jeans more comfortable than leggings because they don't cling to me, but to each her own. I don't think I'm really their target demographic, to be fair.

A lot of their dress designs aren't awful, but they're also not anything better than what I could go get at Macy's for way less hassle.

There's also the bonus of not supporting pyramid schemes.

Her husband tricked her into giving him a handjob...fucking lol.

I love how some of these MLM tards plaster the back windows of their SUVs and minivans with their URLs for Younique and LLR in huge pink Curlz MT font. Just as tacky as the crap they try to sell.

 

[Polexia Aphrodisia]

My sister in law invited me to a Jamberry party and a Lularoe party over Facebook. I think she stopped because I haven't heard anything about it since but at the time I felt a bit irked...I wear flared bell bottom jeans like hippie garbage and only own one pair of leggings to wear under dresses. I don't want cheap shiny Mormon Mommy leggings.

The story about faking her death to get a discounted dress is all the more hilarious when you see the dress. It looks like a class of preschoolers designed it and would only be appropriate on someone of that age.

The thing I don't get about LuLaRoe, or, well, any MLM really, is why people think it works differently from any other retailer.

Think about a chain store near you that sells clothes. I'm thinking of Old Navy. There's one pretty near my house, so if I'd like to buy something from them, I'll go there. There's another one in a mall that's further away, and I wouldn't go there just for the Old Navy, but if I'm already there for another store I might pop in. I think there's another one in a different mall I usually don't go to. Other than that, I can't think of any Old Navies within reasonable distance of where I live.

And wherever you live and wherever LuLaRoe people live, it's going to be basically the same situation. Having tons upon tons of stores selling the same thing right on top of each other isn't a good business model! Especially if it's clothes, which adults in the LuLaRoe price range aren't generally buying lots of regularly. If your friend is already selling it, why would it also be a good idea for you to sell it?

I know some people initially joined because they wanted the wholesale price, and wanted to make the ridiculous 5-7k buy in back. However LLR requires a crazy amount of purchases per month to stay active, so it spiraled. They might have been more successful if they hadn’t gotten greedy and onboarded everyone who showed interest, but instead they saturated the market and made it impossible for all but the top few sellers to stay afloat. The recent Noir launch was really telling. High level consultants got their Noir the day it launched or even beforehand, were given exclusive links to shop the launch before the actual launch date, and bought crazy amounts. I think one seller said she got 500k wholesale worth of black LLR? Smaller sellers were left in the dust and had no chance of buying any inventory. A few got their hands on items no one wants like TC2 (pant size 20+) leggings and some of the weird size shirts like the Perfect T, but most got absolutely fuck all.

Well it’s there’s over 1000 listings for LulaRoe Noir on eBay, much of it $30 and under, so it sounds like they once again they were simply able to create a sense artificial demand. The “lucky” sponsors who bought up the stuff will now pitch it to the lower levels as gold and selling it to them is a favor. Ha.

The fact there are over 200,000 plus listings on eBay for LulaRoe in women’s clothing is proof they’ve totally over saturated the market for tacky overpriced patterned leggings.

The whole company is one giant scam taking advantage of stay at home moms who have no idea how clothes wholeselling works or how much they are vastly overpaying even wholesale for this cheap crap.
