Lularoe Unicorn and Other Words to Know

“I’m DISO my unicorn in OS. I saw them in an OOTD but someone beat me to it in the albums.” Uhhh… come again? LuLaRoe is a bit of a tribe and if you’ve never shopped the brand before, it can feel like you are listening to people speak in a foreign language the first time you stumble into a group. I thought I’d give you a quick glossary of the jargon so you can get out there hunting your own LuLaRoe unicorn in no time.

Albums
Many Facebook groups hold regular or semi-regular “Album Sales” (mine are every Friday at 9pm). Basically, you know how you can go to a friend’s Facebook page, check their photos and find an album of JUST their wedding photos? Well, with an album sale you can do the same thing but instead of a drunken best man speech, you find photos of cute clothes and can purchase them right from the shop by commenting “Sold” or something similar.

Capsule
A mini-wardrobe assembled of several coordinating pieces that can be mixed & matched to make an array of different outfits.

ISO and DISO
Something you are “In Search of” or worse, “DESPERATELY in Search Of”

Live
A Facebook Live Video during which the Retailer usually is selling clothes and chatting with viewers.

OOTD
Outfit of the Day which may be the Retailer modeling a general style for you, or it may be for sale. Read the wording on the photo for this one.

OS, TC and TC2
LuLaRoe Leggings sizes. OS stands for One Size and is best suited for adults who typically wear sizes 2-10. TC, or Tall & Curvy, typically fits sizes 12-18. TC2 is an extended version of Tall & Curvy and usually the best fit for sizes 20 and up.

Pinned Post
The post pinned to the top of the page that will welcome you to the group, answer basic questions, and provide general information about how a particular group is run.

TRL
Total Request Live! Remember Carson Daly taking your requests and then playing the music videos on MTV about 20(!) years ago? Same concept but with clothes! Tell the Retailer which style and size you want to see and they will oblige.

Unicorn or LuLaRoe Unicorn
A highly sought after item that you can never seem to find in your own size. LuLaRoe does not have a catalogue so all of our prints are produced a limited number of times (around 5,000), split between different sizes and styles, and then shipped out to Retailers across the country. If you see something you love, you have to snag it because chances are high that you won’t see the same thing again. Let the item taunt you long enough and it can feel like you are chasing a mythical beast around the internet… a LuLaRoe Unicorn.

Wall Drops
Outfits or items posted directly onto the group wall for sale. If it shows up in your newsfeed and is still available, you can claim it for purchase.

 

I hope this helps make it all a little less confusing but if you’re still feeling a little lost on the world of LuLaRoe, check out this post for an introduction to the brand. And, if you’re ready to see some of these awesome clothes (or just the community that comes with them), come join my  group over on Facebook.
