My days are relatively routine these days - Barry and I walk for an hour, usually setting off sometime before 8 am and then I return to shower and begin writing and other tasks for the day.
What I have discovered is that jeans are simply not comfortable for sitting at a desk for long stretches of the day.
Sweat pants felt like I was giving up.
But thanks to the fashion gods, dressy slouchy pants are in this fall and I have bought some and I am GLAD.
These, or leggings under a tunic, are now the order of the day.
But they have to be pretty.
I recall with some trepidation pants of a similar ilk of my mother's (and some from this) generation:
I shudder at the mere glimpse of them and have made my daughter promise, that should I lose my mind due to some horrible ailment or because George Clooney shows up at my door when I am out getting groceries, that she will NEVER EVER allow them put me in such pants.
But they are comfortable (minus the scratchiness of the cheap poly I guess).
But I have found my own versions and they are swell. So swell that not only do I answer the door to UPS man, but I sally forth into the great wide world, as comfy as comfy can be.
It started with the Citizens of Humanity waxed jeans.
Then I picked up the drapey wool sweat pants on sale from J Crew, which I love!

| Yes ABC, I am SOOOO copying you! |
 |
| I love the colour combos here... |
And then Banana Republic had one of their hourly 40% off sales, where I snapped up the shine drapey pant:
 |
| By the way, I am loving the BR this fall... |
I gotta say - these are divine. the fabric is fluid and the pants can be worn dressed up or down. I can definitely see these as holiday pants, with the right shoe!
 |
| What I wore them with today - sorry for the blur! |
 |
| I like how they break at the ankle. |
 |
| And a closeup of the fabric... |
Have I given up? Perhaps. But the comfort factor is just exactly meeting my needs these days and makes the other trousers and jeans I have seem more apropos of events of shorter duration.
This fashion time will pass and thank god for leggings I say!
Oh and one other thing - these pants make me appear to have a bottom. It is a shocker, even to me, I can tell you!
Any one else on the comfort band wagon with me, or am I letting it all hang out, sans spanx, alone?
