Let’s be honest here, most of you have bought leggings in bulk before. The rush of seeing them on sale for $10 is insanity. You end up coming home with four or five pairs. And then, when you’re feeling all smug with your purchases and decide to wear a pair the next day, they rip. And you’re left standing there with your butt showing. You tell yourself that nobody noticed but come on now…everybody did.
This could have been avoided if you had splurged on some LuluLemon leggings. We’ll admit they don’t have the nicest price tag but they’ll last you years if you treat them right.
