Lululemon Run: Shorty Short

I've been wanting to get a pair of short spandex-y type of workout shorts for a while, so when I saw the Run: Shorty Short on the we made too much section, I decided to get a pair even though I had never tried them on and they are final sale.  I did read the reviews which mostly said to size up, so I ordered a size 6 in the faded dot embossed black/flash light combo.  They arrived today, and I sure am glad I sized up, because I don't think I could fit into a 4.

But with that said, I think these appear longer on me than they do on the web model below, maybe because she's probably taller than me / has longer legs.  Or just different point of view.

Anyway, so I'm actually kind of glad that they are longer than I thought.  If they were shorter, they'd probably dig into the inner thigh area and make an unpleasant looking indent.  They look look shorter from the back though - here is a close up on me (sorry for the bad pic):

I actually find these shorts very comfortable.  There is gripper at the bottom of them so they stay in place very well.  I did some running man tests and they did not move at all, like the reviews online say. I'm quite impressed with that.  The 2 large side pockets are great, I think I can play tennis with these on and fit tennis balls in the pockets.  The faded dot print is pretty subtle unless you look very up close.  I would have preferred to order the solid black version, but that one only had size 4 left.  But I don't actually mind this print.

Here are the web shots that show closer detail of them:

Kind of a bummer that these are only $10 off regular price of $54.  But when I was at the store last time I only saw them on sale in the lilac high noon dot print which I will definitely not wear.  I probably missed out on the dark colors.  Oh well!  I think I can use them enough to make them worth the price.  :)
