Jeans? or Jammies?

I don't know about you but I love nothing better than a pair of comfy pants. Pants that fit like an old comfy sweater, you know the kind that has been stretched out over the years and molded to fit you perfectly. Kind of like Homer Simpson's butt groove on his couch. Since I work from home I spend the greater part of my life in what would be considered "Don't go out in public like that" outfits. Well, at least not unless it's after midnight and you are running to the grocery store with the rest of the "curlers in the hair" crowd. Been there!


My long time and very close friend Jenny Jencks is an Avon Rep and Last week I sat down to do some shopping through her Avon Site and I was SHOCKED to discover that they sell Leggings that look like Jeans! Could it be true? Now I'm sure like me, you have seen those crazy commercials for "Pajama Jeans". Those commercials are nutz and there is no way I would trust even the first 5 digits of my credit card with those people. But Avon? Why not. Could it be true? Could I step outside my door to walk the dog or get the mail in what technically would be jammies but no one would know? The answer is an emphatic YES!! You can have lazy comfort and style all rolled into one!
I squealed with delight when the UPS man rolled up to my door and I wasted no time ripping open the package.
They look great but how would they feel? Would the fit be comfy? Would the construction be sound?
The seams looked good. They certainly look like jeans.
They are indeed comfy. They flex, they bend and hug in all the right spots. I'm only 5'4" and surprisingly they aren't a million yards too long. I am in the middle of a complete studio reorganization and they held up beautifully to the "floor test". This is where I spread EVERY creative thing I own on the floor and reorganize it. I'm up, I'm down, I'm crawling and reaching and not a butt crack in sight. Oh come on, you know what I'm talking about. Plumbers cracks aren't just for plumbers anymore.
At the end of the day it comes down to this...
Do you want Comfort?
Do you want style?

Don't have an Avon Rep?
Use mine, she's Fabulous!
I wouldn't trust my order with anyone else.
Just follow the link below...

You can order via her site from any where in the States and the UPS man will bring it right to your door, just like me! You no longer need to live in her neighborhood. I have moved all over the country in the past 10yrs and no matter where I land,
She's only a click away.

Don't live in the states? Avon Reps are in over 100 different countries. Go to Avon.com and find you nearest Rep. That means you Claire ;)

Um, What The? Seriously?

I mean really people, who thought THIS was a good idea? Was the designer tripping on acid or was it just a really bad joke played on the In-Laws? I just HAD to snap a really quick and secrect shot of these and share them with the world. I mean Come ON, you know you love them. The funny thing is, I think that if we had bought a house, The Bear would have loaded these bad boys up and I'd be figuring out what color wall paint goes with these "interesting" pieces.

What are your thoughts dear readers. Love Em, or Blow Em Up?
