Super cute Lululemon leggings with pockets! White flower pattern, two pockets on the sides for your phone and little zip pocket on the back. The tag has been cut off so not sure about the size but I normally wear a 6 or 8. These are full length.
I'm not super familiar with the different Lululemon styles but these feel not the really thick ones, they are definitely more on the soft side (they are very soft in fact).
Pick up from Island Bay or I can send if you cover postage fees.
Hit me up if you're interested!

This will take Metlink's electric buses to 108 out of 450 buses in the fleet, that is 22% of the fleet. That is high by international standards, outside of China. This will lead to 61 diesel buses being taken off the roads and a 17% drop in carbon emissions and noxious fumes. Congratulations to NZ bus and Tranzurban.
