I was hoping to see the new Ray tops at the store today but they weren't there yet. I ended up buying (commence eating crow now) the Blush Quartz High Noon Dot Cool Racerback. I really liked it on and thought it would be a fun top for running. I need to figure out what headband to pair with it. I'm thinking plain black for now since I don't want to look like Doris Day. My store also got in this cute Blush Quartz Define jacket with the High Noon Dot collar. I was tempted but I have enough Defines.
I tried on the Seaside Dot print Diversity tank but did not like the bigger pattern on me. I thought the Diversity tank was comfy but it would be a totally casual/lounge tank for me. I also don't like the fact that the bottom hem is unfinished. I tried on the Flash Light Power Y and liked the color a lot - it will look great with a tan - but I have my flash/dune wee stripe CRB and I don't need another tank in Flash.

Fashion Island was just putting these new crops out. I really, really liked them. For a change, they go up to a twelve and the side panel makes them super comfy. They come in Flash/dot print, Lilac (I can't remember if those were dotted or not), and solid black. I would seriously think about getting them but I am only going to use crops of this length (mid-calf) in the winter months. I want bike length shorts for summer. South Coast Plaza had these, too.
My store had the new Swiftly headbands in Ray and Lilac but I passed on them. Ray is so bright I think I am going to pass on it. Neither store had the new Ray or Power Purple Wunder Unders. Fashion Island also got in the new Seaside Dot and Blush Quartz/High Noon Dot Deep Breath Tanks in.

LLA, please wear the black headband with your dot CRB! Sophisticated is a better look than "matchy-matchy"! jmo
I was just wondering if I should pair one of my pink, purple, gray, or a contrasting color headband with it.
Something without dots for sure!
Those crops! The subtle dots! That ruffle! Love. But, uh, that price tag. Yikes.
Oh, and Ray is a total no-go for me too. I was at my store today shopping for a headband and they had the Pirouette in Ray. I couldn't bear it even as a small accessory like that. I'll definitely have to avoid it in actual clothing.
I'm so disappointed to hear that about Ray. I was hoping the color would be less intense in the swiftly material. I saw it in luon, and I know I can't bear it. I think it will be a pass for me, too. Oh well...
oh dear i was loving those black on black dots in the above posts until i saw price tag!!!! *GLOMP* lol.
I was also looking forward to the Swiftlys in Ray (my local store had them in LS, SS and tanks) but much too bright for me :(
I was just telling my husband that after buying the Flashlight define, I felt like I finally had enough defines. Now after seeing that blush quartz one with the high noon dot collar, I am not so sure!! Uh oh...
Thanks for always having these updates. I swear sometimes when I am in the store, I think I know more about the products than half the girls that work there!
