 I actually ordered 3 pairs of pants from lucy to try. I ordered the same size in all 3 pants and neither of them fit perfectly. Aaauuuggghhhh. The lucy practice pants were quite nice except they were way too big. They're a nylon/spandex blend with a "slippery" feel and a bit more athletic look. The roll waist bootcut pants would work if you were just looking for a nicer pair of sweats. They're not too bulky and have a narrower leg. But FYI, they run small. I'm wearing the lucy ideal dance pant in today's picture. These fit me the best except for the length. But again they aren't much more than a heavier pair of sweatpants. Nice, but not exactly what I am looking for. So, the search continues.....
If anyone has a great pair of loungewear/super casual wear pants that you love, do share. It's proving to be a difficult task finding a pair/set that I really like.
Here are the details for today's outfit....
-Perfect-fit long-sleeve crewneck tee in holiday red from J.Crew.
-Perfect-fit long-sleeve crewneck tee in white from J.Crew.
-Ideal dance pant in black from lucy.
-New Balance sneakers from Endless.
Have a good one ladies! |

If you're willing to pay more..then lululemon also has a even bigger selection. http://lululemon.com/products/womens/bottoms/pants |

| Thanks for the tips. The lululemon store looks very cool. I may have to take a trip to Chicago to check it out. It looks like they have some really nice stuff. |

| Funny, I just saw the Lulu Lemon store featured on the 190North TV show on Saturday. It perked my interest, as I need to acquire some workout clothes to go to the club and refine this body. Steph, if you're making a trip down, count me in! (Just come when the weather's not below zero- it IS the windy city, you know! And bring H.S. w/ you!) |

| Have you tried the Adam Lippes line of lounge wear? Ever since Oprah featured them on her show last year, I have wanted to order a pair. The problem for me is that I don't know if they come in Long sizes. They are expensive, but maybe worth the price if they are that stylish. I would love to know what you think. http://www.shopadam.com/category/women/loungewear.do?sortby=ourPicks&page=2 |

| About a year ago, I bought a few pairs of yoga pants from GapBody....LOVE THEM. They are super comfortable and super flattering...They're like wearing bootcut lounge pants! They fall straight from the hip. I've excercised, slept and (of course) lounged in them and washed them a ton of times - all with no pilling or wear....they look as good today as the day I bought them. I always like GapBody's selection and their materials are just what I look for: structured but soft. And I always find great layering pieces - just the right weight....not too thick and not too thin...perfect. |

| I remember seeing the adam+eve line on the Oprah show last year. They look awesome. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to see them in person. However, I may consider ordering some as I am striking out everywhere else. I have tried the Gap lounge pants too, but for some reason I just didn't "love" them. Hhhmmm....I am starting to think my expectations are way too high. As for Juicy, I am not opposed. I'm just not sure that is the look I am going for. Thanks for all the advice ladies. I really appreciate it. |
