For the love of stretchy pants

Okay, no more brooding or heaviness.  From now on it's good times (well I'll try at least).

If you had asked me 5 years ago, heck if you had asked me a year ago how I feel about stretchy pants (i.e. yoga pants or  jogging pants) I would've said they should only be worn at the gym or at home. Never, ever, ever should they be worn out in public.  However, if you ask me now, I have a very different opinion.

Here is my history with stretchy pants.  When we were going through fertility treatments, I became very bloated.  That's when I started wearing stretchy pants but only at home.  I suffered when I was public squeezing myself into my dress pants and jeans.  I refused to wear them in public.

Last year I bought a pair of yoga pants and I just love them!  I started wearing them more often around the house but would change before we went out.  Then one day, I didn't feel like changing so I wore them in public.  You know what happened?  Nothing!  The fashion police didn't give me a ticket for wearing them in public. 

So now I wear my stretchy pants whenever I can, out in public, on a plane, on long car rides, everywhere and anywhere. Plus, I'm getting to the age where I just don't care anymore.  So long as I'm comfortable, that's all that matters.
