Lululemon Daily Yoga Jacket

I bought the Daily Yoga Jacket from Lululemon last week.  I've actually always liked the look of this jacket.  I like the simple design, but I hadn't seen a color I really wanted until I saw this coco pique black one.

I read the reviews which all seem to say to size down.  So I bought it in a size 2.  I guess it makes sense, since its predecessor - the Stride/In Stride jacket was also a size down item for me.  I received it in the mail this week, and I must say that even the size 2 is pretty roomy!  I only had one Stride jacket before, which I've sold a long time ago.  But I remember it fitting way tighter than the Daily Yoga jacket.  

Anyway, so I put on this jacket, and I must say that I am not that impressed by it.  It isn't particularly flattering.  It's just ok.  And for the price tag of $128, just ok is just not good enough.  If it was half the price, I'd consider keeping it.  I don't even get why this jacket is priced that high.  It's pretty simply designed, without thumb holes even (do I own anything else from Lulu without thumb holes??  I really don't think so).  The Define Jacket seems to be a more technical and well-designed piece, and that is priced below $100.  I really don't see why the Daily Yoga jacket should cost 20 bucks more.

Sorry about my pajama pants in the photo!  I was too lazy to change.  =)  So, this jacket is going back to the store.  I'm rather disappointed though!  It looked so promising and so much cuter on the model.  I really love the contrasting colors between the body and the sleeves.  Oh well, I'll save my money for something better to come along!
