A few months ago I won a giveaway from RA for a free pair of gap jeans. It took me a long time to get to the mall, since I was waiting for a trip when I could actually spend some time sifting through the jeans and trying things on, but finally the time came and I entered the dressing room with high hopes and a huge pile of pants.

As soon as I pulled these slate blue jeggings on, I knew they had to be mine. Maybe it was because I loved the gorgeous color. Or maybe it was because I liked they way they make my legs look. Or maybe because they add a little variety to the pants section of my closet. But probably it’s because I can wear them on Thanksgiving day and eat my weight in turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes and they just stretttttch and strettttch with every pound gained. Jeggings, welcome to my life. Let’s be best friends.
