World’s Least Comfortable Pants Award goes to . . .

Last week, I raved about my passionate love for jeggings. I’d like to think our love is a two-way street. Maybe they love me back, too. I hope so. I think I’ll leave a note in their pocket—do you like me? Circle ‘yes’ or ‘no.’

Today, the other end of the spectrum. A hateful rant against the least comfortable pants I own—probably the least comfortable pants in existence. Despite my hatred for them and my general grumpiness whenever I choose to wear them, I can’t let them go. Jeff bought them for me, which is kind of incredible because A) they are cute (!), and B) they fit (! shock, awe), but he clearly did not try them on to test the comfort level before purchase. Shame on him.

An angry list of discomfort-induced rage:

- They have almost zero stretch, which is outrageous. Look how tight they are. JUST LOOK. Imagine trying to wriggle your way in and out of skin-tight jeans with no fabric give, or trying to sit down and stand up in a pair of pants that barely allow any bending at the knees. Badly done, Old Navy, badly done indeed!

But on the other hand:

- They are yellow.

I suppose that is enough.

  4. Oh, thank you! I'm so glad to hear you're liking them--I've felt a tad goofy posting them just because they're newer for me, but I'm enjoying doing them!

  5. YES. It shouldn't be allowed! Cute + comfy should have to go together by law.

  7. Oh the things we do in the name of fashion, LOL! Well, for the record, you look adorable! I have 2 similar pair of skinny jeans exactly the same...they "look" great...but are SOOOO stinkin' uncomfortable! No "give" or stretch at all...bending down is awful...gotta hike 'em up and down...craziness! That yellow is awesome on you though!

  8. Are these the Rockstar jeans? I hate their fit. I love the colors but don't like the whole feeling of cramming body parts into clothes. They are, however, extremely cute which is the most important thing.

  10. I have a love hate relationship with Old Navy pants! I love love love their skinny cords but then I'll try on their jeans and they fit terribly on me! What gives! The yellow is pretty awesome-sauce though!

  11. I haven't tried their skinny cords! I'll have to check them out. I hate it when things within 1 store have such an inconsistent fit. I have ON tops that fit anywhere from XS thru M. And I don't think I'm an XS aaaaanywhere else. Their fit is always funky!

  13. Haha, yes! I'm willing to be uncomfortable, at least for short amounts of time, for yellow pants ;-)
