I was originally in the market for these Lululemon pants, but their Christmas pop-up shop came up sadly short. I scoured the rest of the uptown block, visiting at least four other stores and getting consecutively more frustrated by each one's lack of heathered grey comfy yet stylish sweats. The last store I visited was American Apparel, who (surprise, surprise) had exactly what I was looking for: tri-blend leisure pants, for a fraction of the cost of wretched "Lulus."
Do I look like I'm wearing pajama pants? Yes. But so do half of the fashion editors on Jak and Jil that wear too much jewelry and pair their spiky heels and blazers with baggy grey pants. Just because I'm dancing to the Dum Dum Girls in my room and reading about video games in this ensemble instead of going to a Dior show doesn't mean that I'm any less with it.
Ok, I have to go to work now. Guess its time to put on some real pants.

Hm, still not convinced on joggers. Can't say I ever want to own a pair!
I agree with Lauren - even the name, sweatpants... ugh.
>'.'<
lol! what a funny post :) I love my sweatpants. Even if Karl Lagerfeld says that "Sweatpants are a sign of defeat."

I'm quite partial to shamelessly wearing my tracksuit bottoms outdoors; team it with a face full of makeup you'll fool everyone into thinking you didn't leave the house in your pj's! x
Girl, please. If anyone can pull off some sweatpants, it's you. You're not documenting a trainwreck, you're documenting a revolution! :)
wow, $108 sweatpants?? how are those even marketable?
I've been tempted to wear sweatpants so much lately (for reference I only own one pair and those are strictly for running purposes), but I can't bring myself to do it, haha.
yeah boiii I wish I looked as good as you in sweat pants and no makeup
I've always secretly had a thing for wearing trackies with heels... must have come from some early 2000s galliano/dior vibes or something! love the outfit in the first pic... just kinda works! x
Haha I used to wear really ugly and baggy sweatpants because it was a bit of a trend here. Bit of a dark period for me style-wise:P
what. what. you do look chic. what.
ALTHOUGH it's kind of not fair, because you could look great in a burlap sack.
BUT you know
I support this, but I know from experience that it is a slippery slope. Pretty soon you'll be all, "Real pants? What are those I don't even??" and there's no telling where it will go from there.
God, I bloody love the way you write on your blog. Very entertaining. I don't own any tracksuit pants, as I call them, and I don't plan on purchasing any in the near future. I have to say, you're doing a shockingly good job at looking decent in them. Oh, I just purchased the first two issues of PLANT magazine. :D
Those shoes are so amazingly 90's Calvin Klein hideous
Yeahya ...that's the way of writing, and that's what I'm talking about.
'Fuck this fashion thing, I am just going to start wearing... (whatever I want)' - in my opinion this is where writing and fashion begin.
However I am only interested in reading your writings which are quite enjoyable. Isabel, you may become a successful writer once.
i love both outfits actually which is a bit strange as i am morally opposed to sweatpants in so many, many ways.
Gurl you are WERQING the sweatpants! I really love the new look for your blog as well xo
Ah ah, it's awesome!
My favorite is the first one, really cute and all!
And guess what? I'm wearing sweatpants with a pirate blouse right now! Let's share our blood :o
always so cute!
xoxo

YOU ROCK THEM NICELY! I don't know how, but American Apparel seems to make the most sloth-like pieces of clothing into works of art @.@
I use to have a sweater just like that! but with three fine cats on it! played one show, put it down for a second, it's a cold winter now and days !
Great post huh? lol! I might try it also.
