Let’s talk about pants, baby.
Actually, let’s talk about jeggings.
Are they pants? Are they leggings? Are they jeans? (Are these all the same thing?)
When these tight denim concoctions entered retail stores, I crossed-my-heart-and-hoped-to-die that I would never, ever own a pair.
Disgusting may have been muttered under my breath.
Let’s be honest, they can be so unflattering. And I don’t want to see your thighs squeezed into denim look-alike fabric.
For months I swore them off.
Then they started gaining popularity, especially at school.
Girls would have on jeggings, oversized t-shirts and boots.
And in the spirit of honesty (4 lines above), I like to be in the fashion loop. If that girl is wearing it, I should be too.
(If it’s cute.)
So yesterday, against my better judgment, I tried on a pair of denim look-alike jeggings.
And oh butter melting off pancakes, they were amazing!
Could I buy 10 pair? Sleep in them, run in them, go to school WITH BOOTS ON in them?
Let’s not forget the oversized t-shirt.
It would be like wearing pajamas all day and I ask you, is there anything better?
I decided not to buy them and went with the old “If I’m still thinking about them tomorrow I’ll come back and buy them.”
Which I did. Think about them today.
Jeggings here I come!
Besides, if Conan can wear them, so can I.
What’s your opinion on jeggings? Love them? Hate them? Convert?
I've never actually tried jeggings - but I've always enjoyed leggings, because they totally DO feel like you're just wearing pajamas. And anything that makes me feel as comfortable as if I were wearing pajamas is FIIINE by me!
ReplyDeletejeggings dixon? really? and that picture of conan made me want to die.
ReplyDeletehaha. oh my word. conan.
ReplyDeleteand I've never tried them on. As long as they don't do the legging effect where they look really thin. I think I would try them out. It looks like skinny jeans but a different material. hmm.
oh my word! i had heard about this conan event, but this is the first i've seen about it! hahahahah. i'm for jeggings, but only some. you must be very cautious when choosing a jegging. Gap has some cute ones right now though :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried them and always make a sour face when I see them in stores haha I'm not exactly sure why, but I just don't think they're for me.
ReplyDeleteLOL, you are funnnnnnny! I love the way I could picture you saying all of this (with lots of personality) even though I've never met you! haha. And where in the world did you find that pic of Conan? LMAO.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried them yet! But I did just jump on the skinny jeans. I needed a pair to wear with boots and swore that was the only time. But now I am in love.
ReplyDeleteKristi, I just bought some skinny jeans too! I am in love.
ReplyDeleteOh my god, I just cackled (not laughed) at the Conan picture. How atrocious. If Conan can wear them, so can I!
ReplyDeleteThat photo of Conan is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like jeggings at first either, but a pair were on sale for $1 at my job once so I bought some, and I think they're pretty great.
Found you on 20SB, btw.
