Second Lululemon Ebb to Street Tank - Heathered Black

I went to Lululemon yesterday to exchange my plum cool racerback since I just got the plum Ebb to Street tank last week and love it!  I am really trying to not have too many similar styles in similar colors.  There are many ways I can justify why I should have both the plum cool racerback and Ebb to Street tank, but in the end they are really not all that different looking to someone who is not a lulu addict.

I couldn't really find anything at the store to exchange it for, and my plum cool racerback was a couple days past the return period.  I guess they probably would have let me return it anyway, but I figured they would definitely let me exchange for something else... especially something else that costs more.  So I got a second Ebb to Street tank, in heathered black.  I actually wanted to at least see the angel wing one, but they still didn't have it in yet.  I need more neutral colored tops, so I figured heathered black would be good since it's not quite black - it looks like a dark charcoal.

I bought it in the same size as my plum one, which is my true to size - 4.  I did not try it on until I got home.  I actually found that the heathered black fits slightly tighter than the heathered plum one.  It's not a huge difference, but I feel more neck pull from the straps on the black one.  So I might keep the tag on it for a while and see if I will exchange it for yet something else.

Here's an interesting thing that happened right after I bought this tank - one of my friends saw the tag on this tank, and exclaimed: "You paid 60 bucks for a wife beater?!?"  I didn't have a good comeback for it and mumbled something about it being seamless, only to get more outraged looks.  So it got me thinking, do I have Lulu goggles on for this one???  I took a picture of this tank on me, along side my ribbed Zenana Outfitters tank that I got for $4 and they do look pretty darn similar...

Does one look like it should cost $54 (or almost 15x) more than the other???  Lol...




Ok, I'm kind of putting things in perspective and may not keep it after all...
