I recently posted this status update to Facebook: “I pretty much only want to wear elastic waist pants for the next 3 months but has anyone tried Athleta’s Sculptek skinny jeans, and if so, do you love them? I am admittedly somewhat intrigued that one could do yoga in those jeans…it says to me comfort and STRETCH (see earlier note about elastic waist pants). And just to be clear, that one would be the incredibly fit lady in the Athleta photo shoot, not me, but still.”
Per usual, I was blown away by how awesome my friends are; they care about my muffin top and I appreciate that!
