Oh, pants. How I love thee, and wear thee every day. But oh how I hate to SHOP for thee!!!

Let's face it, I've put on some pounds lately. No denying. Time to suck it up and get some new pants. The 2 pairs of Gap jeans I got a while back are not cutting it on their own.

So here goes...

Lane Bryant Lena trouser - fit well, what can I say. Average black pants but one does need a pair or two.

Lysse leggings with faux leather panels down the side - probably should have sized up as the faux part doesn't have as much give, but I can wear them and all my tunics cover the bits. My favorite brand of leggings. Amazon had them on sale, too.

Christopher banks pants - again, black pants, snooze. New to me store. I had tried on black pants ad nauseum all trip but couldn't accept the calf sucking on the ponte ones, guess it's just my body, but I wasn't sold on any I tried on. These are super comfy (flew home in them) and didn't stretch out much. My impression of the store was somewhat like Chicos, you had to search but could find some decent if not functional things.

NYDJ barbara bootcut jeans - dark wash, nice bootcut that was the perfect length w/my new boots. Having bootcut jeans again opens up another silhouette and pairs well with some existing sweaters that were orphaned when I purged the old bootcuts.

KUT Diana skinny cords - I saw these on YLF and Nordstrom but I really didn't think I would end up getting them. Story changed when I saw them and tried them on, really like them and the color is fun for fall /winter and pairs well with a lot of the black and white tops I've gotten lately.

KUT stevie straight legs - fit me nothing like the model. Good straight leg jean, functional.

Thoughts and feedback welcome!!
