Comfy Pants

Today while perusing Instagram I came across a blogger who posted a picture of a cute outfit she wore.... with a dirty secret about it.  She cut her waistband to her leggings. (Read her whole story here)  I love that she was so open how she needed this to be more comfy.  Yet she is comfortable with who she is.  It takes confidence to air our little secrets for the whole world to read.

This got me thinking.... I wish I could cut the waistband to my jeans.  Here I sit at school in my nice jeans and sweater, looking all pretty.... but really, I just want to be in sweats. My equivalent to cutting my waistband.

I want to be comfy.  I wish it was totally okay to go out in public every day in sweats and a pony tail.  And let's add no make up too.  Now most of you will be thinking, isn't that what people wear every day to college? Well not this girl. I actually think I can count on one hand how many times I wore sweats on campus. In all 4.5 years of college I've completed so far.  It may have all stemmed from a good friend in middle school telling me that hair should only be in a pony tail once a week.... and this sometimes translates too, only wear a sweatshirt and jeans once a week. (I'm totally weird and know it)  And also, since I teach I probably shouldn't show up in sweats (not too professional).

So this post isn't really about any thing in particular, just me thinking out loud how nice it will be when I get to go home and put on my comfy clothes.  And tomorrow I'll think about wearing my "Comfy" jeans.
