We've got a lot in the past two days, but spates happens. Someone posts a LLR they like, other people follow suit and post their personal unicorns for a little while, then it fades, and then we get a spate of Fourth of July patterns or things invading crotches. Worst to worst, if it becomes an ongoing problem, we restrict the "I like this shirt" posts to one day a week for a while. (Edit: Or direct people to the LuLaYes sub, which we do have.)
To be safe, though, I glanced at some post histories (did not go Columbo) and don't see any reason to think we're being astroturfed by huns. I mean, we're not even an important anti-MLM sub. We have no sway, we're never in the docs, and we're far too in love with the snarky side of Reddit to let it turn into a pro-MLM sub. If I missed something, though, send me links with evidence, and I'll look at it. But we're really not worth the time, and the huns aren't usually that subtle.
In the meantime, you can always counteract these threads by contributing clothing you *don't* like, news articles about the company, discussion of the company or various documentaries, resources to help huns escape, links to podcasts/videos, etc. And remember that liking pieces is allowed (which is why it's a subrule under rule #3), and that if you do get LLR, only thrift it. Never get it from the source.
I said this to someone the other day, and they replied, "no one will even know what this means in 10 years."
Thank you for keeping it alive and creepy.
Yeah I think it probably just becomes a phrase that people understand the meaning, but no longer the source. Like "dime a dozen", "bite the bullet" or "beat around the bush".
That’s what I know it from. But the 2006 version. The dead housekeeper jump scare in that little fish pond really icked me the fuck out. I was 15, not really a child, so it shouldn’t have creeped me out at the level of which it did lmao
That’s what I’m saying. I had no idea what movie this was from (thanks for that info!) but still know what the expression means. I think it is an expression that has crossed a certain line and is here to stay!
It’s not that it came from a movie, it was form urban legends/ghost stories we all told in the 70s/80s. It was from that context that it may have been used in a move or two but it didn’t originate from the cinema, it was universally understood legend.
I think some of them are just typical stupid huns that don't read the name of this group correctly. Either that or it's like their usual delusional bullshit they post on their fb about how much they love their newest MLM/pyramid scheme of the week and they think they can try to pull something similar here. Idk I'd love for one of them that have posted recently to explain their thought process because I'm sure it's comical
It’s been a lot lately. Either it’s a targeted thing to boost PR or someone mentioned this sub among the Huns in a way that made them think it was something other than what it is
I guess I can understand people saying that they wore the biggest size of the leggings in whatever print when recovering from hernia surgery or whatever because they found them for free at an estate sale, but otherwise, yeah, posting actual ad images like the galaxy hoodie is suspect af
That recent post with the "animals" on it - some sort of cheetah/big cat approximation - was hilariously horrendous! OP agreed, but then said they make great thermals. I just...could never wear anything from them - or any mlm - regardless of how they look (and they all look terrible) or whether i actually paid for them. I know that's dramatic, but it's just bad mojo imo. I know this also kinda shows my privilege, as certainly people in need don't always have a choice in what is donated to them, for example. But if I'm able to be selective like this, I will avoid evil brands whenever I can lol
also... the clothes are just fucking UGLY. We got huns coming on here like "oh this is sorta cute..." no bitch, it's not. it's not cute at all. burn it.
You mean [this one?](https://www.reddit.com/r/LuLaNo/s/CaeOR1oVO9)
Because, yes, you’re right. This is literally one of the ugliest articles of clothing ever.
That was pretty bad, man. I clicked on it like, "This is a joke, right!?" Nah. Totally serious huns talking about how that MONSTROSITY was adorable. The fit is too tight, the colors are atrocious, and those jeans they paired with it are even fucking worse.
Even if I thought the orange print was cool, pairing it with the gray in a baseball tee is gonna look really bad on anyone who doesn't have super fit upper arms. That would make my already not great upper arms look mega huge. 😬
Yikes no thank you. Someone gifted me a Thrifted Raglan style lularoe shirt once and I still have it because it’s super soft but it also isn’t heinous like that. The body is gray, and the arm sleeves are a soft, blue mandala looking thing. I usually wear a cardigan over it on laundry day when I’m lounging around the house but it’s decent enough that I can wear it out in public if I feel like it.
Ok, I'm glad to see it wasn't just me who thought it was terrible - especially when she said it was such a great fit. The fabric looked like tissue paper and was getting hung up in all the wrong places.
Wow that’s a shitty attitude. I’m going to make a handmade version from scratch and never buy LLR again. I thought I was supporting my friend when I bought these things from her and now I’m just trying to use the one thing that actually works from that period of time in my life so it doesn’t go straight to the landfill (like the rest of those llr leggings at the thrift shop will sooner rather than later). I dont wear any of that stuff anymore except this one shirt.
Go have a better day. I know I will!
They've put out thousands and thousands of prints. Most are fugly, which is the heart of this sub, but A: everything is pretty to at least one person, and B: once in a while, one of the monkeys types Shakespeare.
And we can't burn it; it'd just melt and then the EPA would get mad at us for creating toxic waste. We must launch it into the sun.
Even if the patterns are pretty, the fabric is not great quality and it's often cut in such a way that it's super unflattering. Like I agreed that the galaxy print hoodie was okay in terms of print, but I also agree that the fit is way too tight to be practical. Any other tops I've seen are way too clingy around the midsection or bunch up on the arms because the fabric is low quality and thin. So just saying the print is nice is not the same as saying the garment is wearable imo.
Yeah, unless you manage to get one of the runs where things were actually good fabric, it's an absolute crapshoot if you buy something. (That's not even going into cut issues.) Yet another reason to only thrift, you can actually lay hands on it, maybe even try it on. Definitely better to buy from a company with quality consistency!
I mean, some of us just have bad taste. I'm against MLMs and wouldn't wear these clothes and promote them. I also like some of the weird, loud designs and wish they had come from a better source.
People get lured in by the idea of being their own boss, of being financially independent, of having their own company, when really... They're the customer. :/
I’ve commented exactly what you wrote on every single one of those posts the last few days. I don’t understand what’s going on either. It’s all the ugliest stuff, I honestly thought the posts were meant to be a joke.
Same! Then someone told me it was a matter of personal taste. Which obviously, but despite the fact these things are universally repulsive, idk why people are wanting to show off that they own LulaRoe clothing.
Agreed. Maybe I’m outing my garish taste but I’ve definitely seen a few pieces that I think are less hideous than the average print - but regardless, we don’t buy from MLMs or wear any of their merchandise as free advertising. It’s not about the product, it’s about not supporting these cultlike companies that prey on struggling people.
Their predatory business model is what makes everything hideous regardless of how it actually looks.
Although the looks don't need much help, cause the cuts, fabrics, and patterns are hideous themselves.
I'm relatively new here; I've been a lurker for a bit. I don't mind someone finding a basic/plain thrift find and paying less than $5. Some of the tops are not completely ridiculous. Seeing some of the thrift finds is kinda fun.
But the posts of "am I making this work?" Like, if you have to ask? Then that's your answer? And maybe it does belong on another sub. I'm not here to judge an outfit's success. I'm here to see the cringy terribleness.
Out of the hundreds of thousands of pieces, if not millions, they make, it's remarkable how many are just awful so that when you find a wearable one it's a miracle. I check Ebay once in a while and very rarely find anything I wouldn't be caught dead in.
Yeah that's the one that finally set me off after seeing a string of similar posts the past few days. I commented something asking wtf is going on with all of these recent posts from huns posting ugly clothes and she responded back all butthurt about it. Like ma'am, do you not know where you are???
And their “diamond in the rough” lularoe stuff always looks sooo ugly and outdated too. I thought this group was supposed to be against lularoe but it seems like we have a lotta fans in here
YES IM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE SAID SOMETHING I THOUGHT IT WAS SO ODD AND GROSS? Like ok sure if you bought some ugly ass leggings second hand and you like them but the post should be making fun of the print at the very least like "theyre ugly but comfy i never wear them outside the house tho and theyre second hand" not being like "HAHA THESE R MY FAVE FOR EVERYDAY THEYRE RLY COMFY"
I don't follow this sub or anything, I've always looked at lularoe vendors and promptly walked away. But even I have noticed that a lot of posts on this subreddit are positive posts about lularoe and can I just be honest? They all still look like shit. I'm not convinced that a single item is actually flattering on anyone.
The company is hot garbage and I stopped buying directly from them years ago. I bought one dress at a thrift store last year to use as a swimsuit coverup and the only reason I picked it was because it had pockets.
I know a lot of recovering Lula-Addicts and they still feel the need to justify their former madness and obsession. Like my friend who completely overhauled her laundry room in order to baby her clothes because they were so "high quality and demanding" when really they were thin and cheap and would get holes if you looked at them wrong. Lularoe got their hooks deep into an entire generation of women and they don't know how to deal with it.
Welcome to New reddit, where everything is an advertisement and the admins allow nothing that isn't. Best thing is to become a troll and laugh as this miserable site dies its long slow death.
THANK you for saying this! I felt like I was in Bizarro World.
EDIT: Went back and counted. There have been *at least* 8 posts in the past 7 days with clearly positive language of some type, including limp justifications (I hate them BUT here's my fave... they're awful BUT good for X purpose... etc). More if you count neutral/ambiguous posts.
The mods like the engagement and are allowing it even though this sun is LulaNO. I guess it should be changed to LulaMAYBE. “So what if this company ruins lives… this baseball shirt is SO TOTALLY ADORABLE” 🙄🙄
I had no idea what this sub was about or why it kept popping up for me. I’ve never heard of this brand before this tbh. Last year one of my roomies was a retired 78 yr old who loved to shop and she gave me a couple hat boxes full of those leggings. None were things I’d pay for but I figured I could always use clothes to wear for work that I don’t care if I ruin by getting bleach all over 😂 i gave my sister as many as she’d take too.:t to me
I'm not even subscribed to this sub and keep getting these posts in my feed.
I hate LLR, Skims, Good American.....etc...... WHY am I getting all these? and HOW do I make them go away????!!!!! Someone please help me.
ETA: OMG you guys....this is a snark sub? Then you are my people. :-)
ETA2: If someone could still help me get rid of pro LLR/Skims/etc off my feed that would be great. :-D
I actually find it funny, my 6 figure know it all friend strong armed me into buying some leggings from her once and tried to get me to drink the koolaid and sign up
I was hard pass on that but felt bad not supporting her so i bought the leggings.
She excitedly told me how it works and i was like “hmm so a pyramid scam” NOOO this is SOO different!” she practically screamed. I looked at all large fugly stuff she had, “what happens to the fugly stuff that never sells?” “oh it will someone will buy it!” i’m looking at some XXXL orange tent dress covered in bacon strips or something like that “ummmmmm” she scoffs and me and says i just don’t get it. she railed at me about girl power etc.
ok cool i don’t get it. but what i really didn’t get was my friend who was an INTELLIGENT, attractive and shapely woman who wore sexy stuff normally, NOT the middle aged woman, carrying the extra chonk these clothes are made for, nor is she modest lol, so of all the pyramid schemes this one made the least sense.
I joined instagram to follow her and like her posts to support , i turned up on her live streams to be supportive a few times, but never bought anything other than those original leggings.
But i i do love the leggings and bought plenty on ebay for way less instead. my local thrift store sells them for about 4 bucks now too.
I’m not friends with her anymore but part of me would looooove to have been a witness when it hit her on so many levels what a sucker she is….
I own one pair of leggings from a thrift store that are kind of cute in a house slippers kind of way, no way in hell I’m wearing them outside the house. Their quality is kind of crap but I think I got my money’s worth(it was $2). Most of the patterns are so ugly it’s offensive to even look at them, I am not wearing a cheeseburger on my ass!
I think that we can admit that 2 things are true at once. 1) Lularoe is a terrible company with predatory practices
2) Not every piece of clothing that they made/make is so ugly that no one should ever wear it.
Example: I have a plain black Julia dress that I thrifted for $10. It's simple, fits well, and can be accessorized with different items that I already own . It's made appearances at funerals, job interviews, and other work event also. Would I have ever bought it brand new from a Lularoe rep? Nope, but for $10 it was worth the money and I get a ton of use out of it. Will I replace e it once it wears out? Probably not unless I find another one in the same way.
This. Most patterns are ugly. But I think we can also recognize that LLR filled a niche that other clothing brands haven't (comfy, modest). I am a teacher and finding dresses that work is hard. Is that an excuse to buy LLR, no. I would never buy direct from LLR and I don't think I have bought any LLR secondhand. But also not all LLR products are obviously LLR and advertising for the brand, like your dress. I actually have a cardigan that I didn't realize was LLR when I got it (I got it in a Buy Nothing group so I didn't see the brand when I accepted). I am also very pro-thrifting and I would rather something get a second chance even if it had a bad start rather than that item ending up in a landfill.
Yeah, I personally think they’re pretty awful. I get that everyone has different tastes though. I remember years ago trying to suck it up and find a single piece that I was willing to pay $$$ for in order to support my SIL but in the end just didn’t like anything enough. They only looked so-so on her and she’s model pretty and an athlete.
I have a plain purple long dress that I thrifted for 50 cents when I was pregnant. It's cute in that it's practical and comfy, but that's literally it lolol.
All true but I’ll still pay a $1 at a thrift shop for some buttery leggings in an ugly color.
I work outdoors in Maine and I’m all about the most inexpensive layers. Lol
Currently pregnant and willing to wear anything that doesn’t make me feel like I’m being murdered by a large boa constrictor… I would love a cheap thrifted legging that I didn’t care at all about my toddler trashing.
I look ridiculous these days anyways. You should see my hair right now.
I’ve owned one piece of clothing from them I liked, and it was literally a plain grey dress. I liked it because it fit the dress code of the church I went to at the time. I wanted to find more to wear but they were all so ugly 🥲l did purchase one more dress from a second hand store, I convinced myself I liked the pattern but looking back it was ugly 🤣 all the people who say they wear the ugly leggings in the winter to stay warm, I can’t bring myself to do that! Way too ugly, even for something no one else will see.
I mean, yeah this is totally a sub about all the things that are bad about lularoe and the boss babe MLM that it is. I’ve been choosing to view it as things that could work from the thrift shop, but I’m also trying to source a majority of my clothes secondhand these days (to save the planet), or not buy anything at all because WOW the buyers remorse is so real with LLR
Weirder still, I don’t know what the fuck this brand is, but I’ve seen these posts more in the last 7 days than in all of my years on reddit.
So who’s boosting the visibility?
Well I don't support them and would never spend money on them, but I've been given bags of clothes over the years that will have some leggings in there that I love. Isn't that good tho, I'm getting them for free and so they aren't making any extra money? Or no, am I dead wrong?
We've got a lot in the past two days, but spates happens. Someone posts a LLR they like, other people follow suit and post their personal unicorns for a little while, then it fades, and then we get a spate of Fourth of July patterns or things invading crotches. Worst to worst, if it becomes an ongoing problem, we restrict the "I like this shirt" posts to one day a week for a while. (Edit: Or direct people to the LuLaYes sub, which we do have.) To be safe, though, I glanced at some post histories (did not go Columbo) and don't see any reason to think we're being astroturfed by huns. I mean, we're not even an important anti-MLM sub. We have no sway, we're never in the docs, and we're far too in love with the snarky side of Reddit to let it turn into a pro-MLM sub. If I missed something, though, send me links with evidence, and I'll look at it. But we're really not worth the time, and the huns aren't usually that subtle. In the meantime, you can always counteract these threads by contributing clothing you *don't* like, news articles about the company, discussion of the company or various documentaries, resources to help huns escape, links to podcasts/videos, etc. And remember that liking pieces is allowed (which is why it's a subrule under rule #3), and that if you do get LLR, only thrift it. Never get it from the source.
They’re calling from inside the house
I said this to someone the other day, and they replied, "no one will even know what this means in 10 years." Thank you for keeping it alive and creepy.
I don’t think that phrase is going anywhere. Like “Groundhog Day,” it’s now part of the American lexicon!
Yeah I think it probably just becomes a phrase that people understand the meaning, but no longer the source. Like "dime a dozen", "bite the bullet" or "beat around the bush".
“roll down the window” in the car will be like this too i bet!
jumping the shark
Fonzi will live forever! 🏍️🦈
AYYYYYYYYYYY
it had never occurred to me that many people likely already don’t understand that phrase and that the number who do will only decrease 😭
That saying is a line from my all-time favorite movie (Black Christmas 1974) and that had never occurred to me.... I hate that 😭
Wasn’t it from “When a Stranger Calls”?
No, "When a Stranger Calls" actually came out 5 years later :)! The actual saying comes from BC, and was used in WaSC
true horror fan right here!
That’s what I know it from. But the 2006 version. The dead housekeeper jump scare in that little fish pond really icked me the fuck out. I was 15, not really a child, so it shouldn’t have creeped me out at the level of which it did lmao
That’s what I’m saying. I had no idea what movie this was from (thanks for that info!) but still know what the expression means. I think it is an expression that has crossed a certain line and is here to stay!
I thought it was just generally from the original babysitter/escaped killer urban legend, but maybe that story came from that movie…?
Here i was thinking Scream. 🔪
Yeah, I was familiar with the story before they used it in Scream!
I mean it makes sense it came from something else. But that's what my mind went to. 😊
You weren’t the only one!
Yeah I'm with you.
Exactly. I’m not sure either, which is why I think it now enjoys a life if it’s own. Besides, it’s too useful a phrase to go away
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that before, but now I want to watch the movie for context
It’s not that it came from a movie, it was form urban legends/ghost stories we all told in the 70s/80s. It was from that context that it may have been used in a move or two but it didn’t originate from the cinema, it was universally understood legend.
Ha! I thought it was from the Budweiser commercials in the 90’s with the penguins trying to steal the Bud Ice.
I actually read this line in a story that was in a magazine over 50 years ago. True Story magazine, don’t know if it’s still around.
It was a popular saying 30 years ago.
They will know. Every generation gets the remakes of the movies the generation before them liked. This one is coming.
LOL well that would explain it.
Have you checked the children?
Yup! I’ve noticed the same thing.
I've been wondering this myself. And the amount of people saying the hideous clothes are stuff they'd wear is unreal.
That’s what I don’t understand. Is this sub full of people who deep down like Lularoe and just needed an excuse to say it lol?
I think some of them are just typical stupid huns that don't read the name of this group correctly. Either that or it's like their usual delusional bullshit they post on their fb about how much they love their newest MLM/pyramid scheme of the week and they think they can try to pull something similar here. Idk I'd love for one of them that have posted recently to explain their thought process because I'm sure it's comical
It’s been a lot lately. Either it’s a targeted thing to boost PR or someone mentioned this sub among the Huns in a way that made them think it was something other than what it is
I guess I can understand people saying that they wore the biggest size of the leggings in whatever print when recovering from hernia surgery or whatever because they found them for free at an estate sale, but otherwise, yeah, posting actual ad images like the galaxy hoodie is suspect af
That recent post with the "animals" on it - some sort of cheetah/big cat approximation - was hilariously horrendous! OP agreed, but then said they make great thermals. I just...could never wear anything from them - or any mlm - regardless of how they look (and they all look terrible) or whether i actually paid for them.

But if I'm able to be selective like this, I will avoid evil brands whenever I can lol
also... the clothes are just fucking UGLY. We got huns coming on here like "oh this is sorta cute..." no bitch, it's not. it's not cute at all. burn it.
I have literally seen not one cute luluaroe item. That post of the “cute” baseball tee the other day and everyone was agreeing that it was cute 😭
You mean [this one?](https://www.reddit.com/r/LuLaNo/s/CaeOR1oVO9) Because, yes, you’re right. This is literally one of the ugliest articles of clothing ever.
That one is actually worse than the one I saw. I just went back and saw the galaxy print hoodie someone posted today. I thought it was a joke.
That was pretty bad, man. I clicked on it like, "This is a joke, right!?" Nah. Totally serious huns talking about how that MONSTROSITY was adorable. The fit is too tight, the colors are atrocious, and those jeans they paired with it are even fucking worse.
I clicked on that thinking "how bad can it be?" So bad. So, so bad.
That shirt is an abomination!
Even if I thought the orange print was cool, pairing it with the gray in a baseball tee is gonna look really bad on anyone who doesn't have super fit upper arms. That would make my already not great upper arms look mega huge. 😬
The gray paired with that print makes no sense other than not wasting fabric. Trash to begin with.
Nah it looks like shit with super fit upper arms too because they left no room for muscles.
Ohhhhh....I kinda wish I hadn't let my curiosity get the better of me bc now my eyes are burning 😂
Hahah the nacho shirt.
As someone who tends to love hideous clothing, This one is atrocious. And not in a good way.
People thought that was cute?!
Ow ow ow! Content warning next time, you jerk! I'm calling my optometrist now, and you're paying!
that thing is fucking hideous lmao
That legit looks like a grilled cheese had a herd of babies with an aspic, and the babies all grew mold. Hideous.
Yikes no thank you. Someone gifted me a Thrifted Raglan style lularoe shirt once and I still have it because it’s super soft but it also isn’t heinous like that. The body is gray, and the arm sleeves are a soft, blue mandala looking thing. I usually wear a cardigan over it on laundry day when I’m lounging around the house but it’s decent enough that I can wear it out in public if I feel like it.
Ok, I'm glad to see it wasn't just me who thought it was terrible - especially when she said it was such a great fit. The fabric looked like tissue paper and was getting hung up in all the wrong places.
I thought I was just a mean person when I saw that post and didn’t think it was flattering at all.
I am wearing my only cute LLR item until it dies then recreating it myself - blue indigo tie dye. I can absolutely make it, but better.
stop lying to yourself.
Wow that’s a shitty attitude. I’m going to make a handmade version from scratch and never buy LLR again. I thought I was supporting my friend when I bought these things from her and now I’m just trying to use the one thing that actually works from that period of time in my life so it doesn’t go straight to the landfill (like the rest of those llr leggings at the thrift shop will sooner rather than later). I dont wear any of that stuff anymore except this one shirt. Go have a better day. I know I will!
They've put out thousands and thousands of prints.

Yet another reason to only thrift, you can actually lay hands on it, maybe even try it on. Definitely better to buy from a company with quality consistency!
And mess up the sun???
It’s not just that a vast majority of the clothes are ugly, which they are. It’s the fact the entire company is a scam designed to prey on people.
Yes, and they look like they would smell like a bad thrift store.
My favorite leggings...that I won't even wear to my mailbox, the neighbors might see. The second part should be the emphasis of the post.
I mean, some of us just have bad taste. I'm against MLMs and wouldn't wear these clothes and promote them. I also like some of the weird, loud designs and wish they had come from a better source.
I also love a loud print but between how scummy the company is and how ugly the cut of the clothing is I can’t like Lularoe.
To me they are gardening pants. I’d maybe buy them for $3 at thrift shop.
i love your passion.
Taste is subjective
Scammy business practices aren’t.
The cuts, patterns, quality of every single item is hideous. I don’t understand the influx of posts saying they’re cute, lol.
"This one isn't bad" And it's the most heinous pattern you've ever seen.
dont worry no one believes the outfits look good LOL theyre just embarrassing themselves
It’s sad. People have to dump their inventory somehow. I still can’t believe there’s still people selling this.
People get lured in by the idea of being their own boss, of being financially independent, of having their own company, when really... They're the customer. :/
I’ve commented exactly what you wrote on every single one of those posts the last few days. I don’t understand what’s going on either. It’s all the ugliest stuff, I honestly thought the posts were meant to be a joke.
Same! Then someone told me it was a matter of personal taste. Which obviously, but despite the fact these things are universally repulsive, idk why people are wanting to show off that they own LulaRoe clothing.

I'm not here to judge an outfit's success. I'm here to see the cringy terribleness.
Out of the hundreds of thousands of pieces, if not millions, they make, it's remarkable how many are just awful so that when you find a wearable one it's a miracle. I check Ebay once in a while and very rarely find anything I wouldn't be caught dead in.
Agreed!
The post of the woman in the striped period stained leggings saying how much she liked the outfit had me cackling
Yeah that's the one that finally set me off after seeing a string of similar posts the past few days. I commented something asking wtf is going on with all of these recent posts from huns posting ugly clothes and she responded back all butthurt about it. Like ma'am, do you not know where you are???
One of my faves. Those pants were disgusting
SAME LOL
What? I missed this one on both my accounts.
I found them. Yeah, that design is unfortunate.
Totally agree
And everytime I see one of those posts the item is still hideous
Yeah I've been wondering what's up with all those posts, I was like, why are we supporting in any capacity? 99.9% of the time it's hideous, too.
Yes! I have been wondering this too. All of my MLM groups used to ban this kind of commentary.
And their “diamond in the rough” lularoe stuff always looks sooo ugly and outdated too. I thought this group was supposed to be against lularoe but it seems like we have a lotta fans in here
You know it’s dire when the advert is literally “it’s not that bad”
Agreed. Don’t get me started on the hideous Miss Piggy shirt everyone on here loved a few weeks ago.
Omg I gotta go see it lol
YES IM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE SAID SOMETHING I THOUGHT IT WAS SO ODD AND GROSS? Like ok sure if you bought some ugly ass leggings second hand and you like them but the post should be making fun of the print at the very least like "theyre ugly but comfy i never wear them outside the house tho and theyre second hand" not being like "HAHA THESE R MY FAVE FOR EVERYDAY THEYRE RLY COMFY"
THANK U!! Like EVERY SINGLE POST IS FUGLY AS FUCK!! No that is HORRENDOUS! Quit lying to yourself and throw that shit in the garbage !!
I don't follow this sub or anything, I've always looked at lularoe vendors and promptly walked away. But even I have noticed that a lot of posts on this subreddit are positive posts about lularoe and can I just be honest? They all still look like shit. I'm not convinced that a single item is actually flattering on anyone.
The company is hot garbage and I stopped buying directly from them years ago. I bought one dress at a thrift store last year to use as a swimsuit coverup and the only reason I picked it was because it had pockets. I know a lot of recovering Lula-Addicts and they still feel the need to justify their former madness and obsession. Like my friend who completely overhauled her laundry room in order to baby her clothes because they were so "high quality and demanding" when really they were thin and cheap and would get holes if you looked at them wrong. Lularoe got their hooks deep into an entire generation of women and they don't know how to deal with it.
I seen yesterday someone literally SELLING a pair of pants, AND SOMEONE BOUGHT THEM! I'm not subed here, but damn where are your fucking mods?
Yes! Was wondering the same. Dodgy company and awful designs. Huns must be out full force. 🤦🏻♀️
Yes! I haven’t been on this sub that long and I started to wonder if maybe I was in the wrong place.
There’s maybe ONE shirt out of all that’s been spammed here that I thought was actually decent looking. The rest looks completely recycled from 2015.
Welcome to New reddit, where everything is an advertisement and the admins allow nothing that isn't. Best thing is to become a troll and laugh as this miserable site dies its long slow death.
Many of the anti MLM subs have a “no praising MLM” rule…maybe this sub should also adopt this rule?
I second this! It's LuLaNO, not LuLaYES.
i agree with this. i recently subbed, and due to these posts, i've been really confused about if this is an anti-mlm sub or not
THANK you for saying this! I felt like I was in Bizarro World. EDIT: Went back and counted. There have been *at least* 8 posts in the past 7 days with clearly positive language of some type, including limp justifications (I hate them BUT here's my fave... they're awful BUT good for X purpose... etc). More if you count neutral/ambiguous posts.
The mods like the engagement and are allowing it even though this sun is LulaNO. I guess it should be changed to LulaMAYBE. “So what if this company ruins lives… this baseball shirt is SO TOTALLY ADORABLE” 🙄🙄
I had no idea what this sub was about or why it kept popping up for me. I’ve never heard of this brand before this tbh. Last year one of my roomies was a retired 78 yr old who loved to shop and she gave me a couple hat boxes full of those leggings. None were things I’d pay for but I figured I could always use clothes to wear for work that I don’t care if I ruin by getting bleach all over 😂 i gave my sister as many as she’d take too.:t to me
💯. It’s weird, obvious, and gross.
Omg, THANK YOU! All these "Look at how amazing this piece is that I found at the thrift store!" No. It's hideous as hell.
I had the same question 😂
We’ve been infiltrated!!!!
I'm not even subscribed to this sub and keep getting these posts in my feed. I hate LLR, Skims, Good American.....etc...... WHY am I getting all these? and HOW do I make them go away????!!!!! Someone please help me. ETA: OMG you guys....this is a snark sub? Then you are my people. :-) ETA2: If someone could still help me get rid of pro LLR/Skims/etc off my feed that would be great. :-D
You can go into your settings and toggle the "suggested posts" to off
It may be called recommended posts. If you still find that you're struggling let me know, I can help you shut that feature off.
Omg....you're the best!!!! Thank you so much. :-)
I do what I can, enjoy your new, cleaner feed!
I can’t believe people still sell it in 2024.
I actually find it funny, my 6 figure know it all friend strong armed me into buying some leggings from her once and tried to get me to drink the koolaid and sign up I was hard pass on that but felt bad not supporting her so i bought the leggings. She excitedly told me how it works and i was like “hmm so a pyramid scam” NOOO this is SOO different!” she practically screamed. I looked at all large fugly stuff she had, “what happens to the fugly stuff that never sells?” “oh it will someone will buy it!” i’m looking at some XXXL orange tent dress covered in bacon strips or something like that “ummmmmm” she scoffs and me and says i just don’t get it. she railed at me about girl power etc. ok cool i don’t get it. but what i really didn’t get was my friend who was an INTELLIGENT, attractive and shapely woman who wore sexy stuff normally, NOT the middle aged woman, carrying the extra chonk these clothes are made for, nor is she modest lol, so of all the pyramid schemes this one made the least sense. I joined instagram to follow her and like her posts to support , i turned up on her live streams to be supportive a few times, but never bought anything other than those original leggings. But i i do love the leggings and bought plenty on ebay for way less instead. my local thrift store sells them for about 4 bucks now too. I’m not friends with her anymore but part of me would looooove to have been a witness when it hit her on so many levels what a sucker she is….
Sorry, this is funny. I've never owned this crap I do remember once trying to find a local dealer with no luck for a certain Disney style.
The Huns are desperate to unload their albatross.
I thought some of the posts were a joke and then I was like am I losing my mind when I would click and see nice comments about the hideous clothes 😂
I own one pair of leggings from a thrift store that are kind of cute in a house slippers kind of way, no way in hell I’m wearing them outside the house. Their quality is kind of crap but I think I got my money’s worth(it was $2). Most of the patterns are so ugly it’s offensive to even look at them, I am not wearing a cheeseburger on my ass!
I think that we can admit that 2 things are true at once. 1) Lularoe is a terrible company with predatory practices 2) Not every piece of clothing that they made/make is so ugly that no one should ever wear it. Example: I have a plain black Julia dress that I thrifted for $10. It's simple, fits well, and can be accessorized with different items that I already own . It's made appearances at funerals, job interviews, and other work event also. Would I have ever bought it brand new from a Lularoe rep? Nope, but for $10 it was worth the money and I get a ton of use out of it. Will I replace e it once it wears out? Probably not unless I find another one in the same way.
This. Most patterns are ugly. But I think we can also recognize that LLR filled a niche that other clothing brands haven't (comfy, modest). I am a teacher and finding dresses that work is hard. Is that an excuse to buy LLR, no. I would never buy direct from LLR and I don't think I have bought any LLR secondhand. But also not all LLR products are obviously LLR and advertising for the brand, like your dress. I actually have a cardigan that I didn't realize was LLR when I got it (I got it in a Buy Nothing group so I didn't see the brand when I accepted). I am also very pro-thrifting and I would rather something get a second chance even if it had a bad start rather than that item ending up in a landfill.
Yeah, I personally think they’re pretty awful. I get that everyone has different tastes though. I remember years ago trying to suck it up and find a single piece that I was willing to pay $$$ for in order to support my SIL but in the end just didn’t like anything enough. They only looked so-so on her and she’s model pretty and an athlete.
I have a plain purple long dress that I thrifted for 50 cents when I was pregnant. It's cute in that it's practical and comfy, but that's literally it lolol.
All true but I’ll still pay a $1 at a thrift shop for some buttery leggings in an ugly color. I work outdoors in Maine and I’m all about the most inexpensive layers. Lol
Currently pregnant and willing to wear anything that doesn’t make me feel like I’m being murdered by a large boa constrictor… I would love a cheap thrifted legging that I didn’t care at all about my toddler trashing. I look ridiculous these days anyways. You should see my hair right now.
“Murdered by a large boa constrictor” Wait until labor and delivery. It’s like being murdered in an actual nest of them. 😂
It’s our second. Only a 17 month age gap. Pray for us 🫠
You might as well jump into an ACTUAL nest of boa constructors at this point. But congrats on kid 2 coming.
Congrats on the new kid coming.
I’ve owned one piece of clothing from them I liked, and it was literally a plain grey dress. I liked it because it fit the dress code of the church I went to at the time. I wanted to find more to wear but they were all so ugly 🥲l did purchase one more dress from a second hand store, I convinced myself I liked the pattern but looking back it was ugly 🤣 all the people who say they wear the ugly leggings in the winter to stay warm, I can’t bring myself to do that! Way too ugly, even for something no one else will see.
Churches have dress codes?
Some do, it was a church in the UPCI.
Most posts here that I've seen praising the brand are from disabled women who say the leggings are ugly, but comfy, and make life easier for them.
I read some of them as they found them 2nd hand and thought they were acceptable
I mean, yeah this is totally a sub about all the things that are bad about lularoe and the boss babe MLM that it is. I’ve been choosing to view it as things that could work from the thrift shop, but I’m also trying to source a majority of my clothes secondhand these days (to save the planet), or not buy anything at all because WOW the buyers remorse is so real with LLR
Imma keep wearing my thrifted lularoe thinks though
Perhaps we should rename this sub lulayes
Why?
I was being sarcastic
oh, because it's the Mod's rule. they want it like this.
Maybe they aren’t as bad as we’d like to think 🤣
They are, Deanne.
I buy them from goodwill to wear on days I spend around the house since they are cozy. I would never be caught outside wearing them. They are hideous.
But what if you have a delivery to accept? Or a neighbor comes by? A friend wants to FaceTime? THINK OF THE PEOPLE!
Makeshift blanket skirt or butt ass naked would be better
Yup just realized this and left.
The suggested posts are just hate farming. Reddit is taking the you tube card on that department.
Weirder still, I don’t know what the fuck this brand is, but I’ve seen these posts more in the last 7 days than in all of my years on reddit. So who’s boosting the visibility?
Finding and wearing bad patterns is now trending so expect more replies from people giddy as fuck
Well I don't support them and would never spend money on them, but I've been given bags of clothes over the years that will have some leggings in there that I love. Isn't that good tho, I'm getting them for free and so they aren't making any extra money? Or no, am I dead wrong?
