Lululemon Amped Crop Review/Photos

I'm doing something a little different today and reviewing some clothes for you guys! I placed an order with Lululemon recently and was like a little kid on Christmas morning when the package finally arrived. The Amped crop was one of the pieces that I ordered, but is also the only one that I'm returning and I shall tell you why.

I was really impressed with these crops when I first tried them on. The fabric is so much nicer than any other athletic leggings I've ever worn and I love the unique design with the one purple cuff and the white stripe down one side. (Also wearing the Cool Racerback in bold stripe power purple in these pics).

However, they didn't sit right in the front. The dreaded toe of the camel, you know? I figured I could fix it by wearing a longer shirt with these, but I honestly shouldn't have to. This was the first reason why I decided to return these. The second was that I figured I could get a lot more use out of a plain black pair of leggings from Lulu than these. I could wear black ones to work out and even under a dress with boots for work.

For reference, I am 5'2" and weigh 105 pounds. These crops are a size 4 and were just the slightest bit tight in the waist. I'd like to try on a size 6, but my closest Lulu store is about three hours away, so it won't be happening any time soon! Plus, I like my leggings to be skin tight; I hate when they sag in the knee area and I'm afraid that sizing up would make that happen. Ultimately, I would recommend at least going and trying these crops on if you like how they look. They really are adorable and if you wear a lot of longer tanks/shirts, the cam toe problem wouldn't be an issue for you.

Do any of you own these crops or any others from Lulu? What do you think? I'm thinking of replacing these with the Wunder Under pants but I haven't quite decided yet.
