I couldn't resist the beauty of the Black Citron Tinted Canvas Full Eagle Tank and came home with it. Although one of the LA area stores posted it went to a twelve my local stores only had it to a ten and when I called the GEC to check local stock they thought it only went to a ten also. Ten makes sense since that is what the regular Eagle Tank went to. I bought it even though it's rather obscene on me at the moment. I have yet to try it with my Free to Be bra underneath which may help things a bit. I did try a few different bras while I was in the store and thought the Arise looked pretty good underneath if you want some additional coverage. Anywhoo, I'll keep the tags on just in case there is a twelve and will exchange for a chance to wear it now rather than a few months from now when I've dropped some more weight. I thought the fit was identical to the old Eagle Tank, just a longer version of it. It's such a cute tank and you don't feel the vertical seems along the tummy. This tank may be more of a casual wear tank than a work out tank for me since it's so low cut but I don't care. I think it's beautiful and it's made of one of my favorite summer fabrics, luxtreme. If a Push UR Limits comes out in a version with an all-over print I might exchange this but for now I'm keeping it as a motivation tank.

I tried on the new Willpower SS shirt and really disliked it. The sleeves are weirdly attached and tight at the openings so the top fit odd. The sleeve kind of catches on your arm and causes a crease at the top of the breast which you can see in the photo above and photos below. I thought the chest in this tank was very roomy. However, the sleeve design is so weird there is no way I'd get this shirt. It's not just a tight sleeve, there is something about the design geometry that causes the shirt to move wrong/uncomfortably with your arm.

I also tried on the new Heathered Blurred Gray Power Dance Tank. From the photo I thought the top part was plain coal and the sheer luon was the blurred gray but the top is Heathered Blurred Gray. This version is also made of luon on top (contrary to the tag). I have two Power Dance Tanks so I passed but I like HBG and wanted to try it on.
I also bought myself the Surge Cross Training Cap today. I already have the Potion Purple and the purple ombre black plaid from last summer but no blues so I got the Surge. I am hoping a Surge Swiftly racerback is coming out soon. I am going to need something to match with it. ;-)
I got my sister a Pink Mist Mind Over Matter Pullover. There were only three of them left so they are going like hotcakes. I wanted to give it a try but my size was long gone. Since my sister's size was gone I was trying to decide whether to get her the next size down or up and fwiw, the ladies there told me they thought they fit a bit on the small side.
