Just Say No To SwEaTpAnTs.

My 9 year old daughter adores sweatpants and wears them daily.

I am not sure what I did in life to deserve this. 

 In a previous blog I threw out my favorite fashion quote: "It's a slippery slope into sweatpants and a minivan". . .

 The good news is she can't drive yet.

We were headed out to help cook for our church fundraiser and my daughter said, "Mom, I'm going to wear jeans so I don't get my sweatpants dirty."  

That happened.

Under Armor is great, but does it have to take over the better judgment of my sweet, beautiful, little girl?  …… SIGH…...

JUST SAY NO TO SWEATPANTS!

Yeah yeah yeah.  I can hear your collective protests from miles away.  But Caroline- they're really comfortable!  But Caroline- they're like BUTTA!  But Caroline- you're being a snotty noseragdoll!

BLAH.  That's how I feel about that.  What do sweatpants do for you besides make you want to vegetate and sleep?!  NOTHING.

AND WHEN I SAY NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING!

Have you ever checked out your backside in sweatpants?  Have you??  Probably not.  And you know why?  Because you know DAMN WELL that your patootie looks like the broad side of an eighteen wheeler.  And you know that your legs look like two lumps of poo.  BIG POO.

Now, in the privacy in your own home, I am FINE with these silly things.  And of course, if you are gonna work that booty out, they are fabulous!  But to wear out in public for any other reason than to strive for that donkey booty?  This is just not necessary.  UNLESS your goal is to end up in the WINNERS OF WALMART.  Yes, my friends.  I went there.  That's how much I dislike sweatpants.

No need to panic, lovely ladies.  The good news is there are alternatives for comfort.  The pants pictured below are satisfactory examples of comfort.  The streamlined workout pant allows for freedom of movement and lounge friendly style in a much less clown like manner.  Fabulous?  No.  Acceptable?  Yes.  Lululemon carries amazing and very flattering workout pants.

Yoga pants are also a better choice.  Victoria's Secret has super cute yoga pants.

**BUT!!!!! MY BEAUTIFUL STYLE MAVENS**
PLEASE DO NOT ONLY WEAR EXERCISE ATTIRE DAY AFTER DAY AFTER BLESSED DAY!

God gave you a beautiful, womanly figure.  Throw some styling jeans or leggings on that bod!  Wear a flirty skirt from time to time!  Yell, "I AM WOMAN!  WATCH ME WALK AWAY AND EAT YOUR HEART OUT!"

DU AR VALKOMMEN!
