A Lululemon Schmata
February 8, 2013 § 8 Comments
The best fifty dollars I’ve spent all year was on Lululemon’s Vinyasa Scarf, which I’ve worn constantly, easily coordinating with virtually every piece of, “mommy clothes,” not excluding pajamas.
Nothing more than a 56″ x 27″ piece of “rulu” (soft, stretchy, wicking fabric), the scarf is connected by a row of snaps along its length, creating a circular piece of wonderful that can be wrapped and swathed, layered and draped, twirled and (though I haven’t been moved enough to try to figure it out) unsnapped and worn around the waist, pulled up over the shoulders as a shrug.
Most of the time I hang it over my shoulders for an extra layer of warmth, but it works great double twisted around the neck when the winter air is fighting mad. During savasana it earns its name by serving as the perfect blanket to cover the upper body prone to shivers after sweet and sweaty vinyasa.
A few weeks ago my (awesome, say it like she sees it) friend, Emily, came over to play and asked straight out to, “Explain that thing.”
She added, “It looks like you could be carrying a baby in there.”
And she’s right. I probably could.
Next baby I see is going for a ride.

Do you own a Vinyasa Scarf? How do you like to wear yours?
I would have photographed mine, but I have mercifully and lovingly put it in the wash.
I’ve never once undone the snaps (a black and white stripe btw), but maybe I should. Usually, I hang it around my neck and twist it over one shoulder, so it criss-cross drapes over my chest.
I agree. I have the black stripe/black check one and I also wear it with everything. So thankful I was ble to find that color scheme bc it matches most things. Love to double it around my neck but need to start wearing it other ways as well. Thanks for reminding me of all the possibilities!
It’s such a great scarf. I was thinking I’d buy another one, but was on the fence about the colors. I did see a facebook photo of jami (North Hills SM) wearing the orange striped version and it was such a pretty pop of color.
So happy to see your name here Lavonna! X
Very cool – I love it – I’m a scarfaholic anyway:)

Really loved your lips scarf on yesterday’s blog! Scarves are my favorite part of winter. I wish I could find some that were airy enough for summer.
It’s pretty – but after all of my recent Target shopping – can I afford it?

As much as I wear it… at this point it’s paid for itself!
Love it. I don’t have that scarf but I have one that similar and pretty much wear it all the time.
Lululemon makes some great stuff. I follow the blog for their lab and I think that’s where they get a lot of their best ideas!
