Lululemon Cool Racerback in Midnight Iris Multi

I ordered the newest midnight iris multi cool racerback from Lululemon on Monday night.  I wasn't really sure about the color/print since I didn't see it in person, and I was half prepared to have to return it.  If you've read my blog long enough, you are probably aware that I am not normally drawn to prints, especially flowery prints.  But for some reason this one kind of captured my attention!  So I went ahead and got it.  I figured I could always return it later.  It arrived today and I actually think I like it!  The iris flower print could look old-ladyish very easily, but I think because they made it so dark that it actually looks kind of cool and edgy!


This cool racerback is actually made in Canada.  It is 94% polyester, but it feels different/better than my petit dot dune one which is mostly poly as well.  This one feels thicker and softer/less scratchy.  Just better qualify fabric feel in general.


And here it is on me - the print looks pretty subtle like this:


This is it up close... I like how the brighter parts of the flower kind of reflects the light a little and looks almost metallic:


I wouldn't have liked this print at all if it looked like how it does below, which I took under bright light.  But I think Lulu did a good job with it making it very dark and subtle.  



Somewhat of a surprise, but I actually think this one is a keeper!
