It all started when I complimented my co-worker's printed leggings and she said "they are LuLaRoe!" My response was, "they are Lula-what?!" She went on to explain to me the amazingness of this company and she offered to let me feel how soft her leggings were (by the way, they were soft like room-temperature butter). I wanted to know more. Around the same time, a family friend became a consultant. LuLaRoe is not something you can purchase in stores, you have to first find a consultant and then make purchases through them. But this is what makes these leggings, shirts, skirts and dresses such a craze: consultants only get certain items in their shipment and no two consultants have the same inventory therefore, you can find yourself mass-joining groups on Facebook to find your specific coveted item (these items are called "Unicorns" by the LuLaRoe community, basically this means you want a print that is hard to find).
I hesitantly looked at my family friend's LuLaRoe page and I bought my first pair. The rest is pretty much history, my co-worker warned me and said "once you buy one you will be hooked", and trust me I am. So far my collection has grown into eight pairs of leggings and three dresses but I'm fairly positive the obsession will continue to grow. Here are some things any LuLa-addict has experienced...
