They are part legging, part sweatpant, part spandex. Their only saving grace is their color: black. Well, they are black except for the shiny gold lettering across the butt that reads: "LOVE PINK". They are tight in all the wrong places, but can become rather baggy, depending on how many times I wear them before they see the washing machine.
True confession: I wear them at least once a day. It's not my fault though. I don't have much reason to get dressed up these days unless 1. It's the one day a week I actually have to go to the office or 2. I'm going out for a night on the town-which can't happen that often anymore because of number 1. (Employed one day a week, plus writing from home=no funds to take my butt out of the leggings to go out and treat myself to a nice dinner and a few drinks).
It's not that I haven't tried to wear other things. I've tried my gray Old Navy sweats. Too roomy. My pink and white plaid pajama pants. Too frumpy. Black yoga pants. Not comfy. Just a robe. Too daring. Jeans. Too constricting. No matter what I do, I always put on the black "LOVE PINK" wonders before settling in to do my writing, job searching, Facebooking, Oprah watching, wine drinking...you name it, I wear them.
I dig them out of the bottom of the dirty clothes if need be. I am going home for the weekend this Friday and I've already designated my special pants as my "comfy for the ride home" pants, my "pj" pants, my "after shower until I get dressed pants," and my "oh well no need to get dressed now, we aren't going anywhere pants."
Don't judge me until you've sat an hour in these pants, MY pants. I can't believe I almost didn't buy them that fateful after work shopping day at Victoria's Secret.
What's your one article of clothing you just can't give up on? An old t-shirt? A nasty pair of socks? (Another confession: I have a pink/melon colored scarf I have convinced myself goes with ANYTHING!...It doesn't.)

I can completely understand your obsession with an article of clothing that is just oh so wrong for your figure! My I love you so much even if you make me look like a whale article of clothing would be a fleece vest from Old Navy that was once my fathers and was passed down to me for running gear. However I have taken it out of the workout realm and moved it into the weekend lounging, tailgating festivities, traveling cozy realms. I can't help it, everyone tells me I look awful in it but I can't except it. Oh well, my love affair will have to continue with that funky old fleece vest until it is so old I can no longer zip it. (Maybe)
ReplyDeleteSince I go to an aerobics class three times a week, I find myself wearing the standard issue spandex pants to class and then leave them on all day afterward. Yes, that's right, no shower for me after the workout, normally. (Don't panic: I clean up the next morning.)So my 3-days a week look is a stretched out pastel t-shirt, black Danskin yoga pants and any one of my stylish hoodies collected from Saugatuck, band camp or my daughter's closet! Admitting this is the first step to getting help!!
