Have those yoga pants ever been to yoga?



This has been on my mind for a while, so I feel like it's time for a PSA.  Since we returned from living overseas, I have noticed a disturbing trend.  People (women in particular) are wearing workout clothes ALL THE TIME.  Like, when they are obviously not on their way to or from the gym.  Like with jewelry and fixed hair and makeup on.  I get the occasional day when you don't feel well or you woke up late before having to drop the kids at school, or you've spent the entire day cleaning your house, or whatever.  I'm not talking to you.  It's the others - the ones who wear workout clothes shopping, to lunch with girlfriends, traveling, to the zoo...Unless you are Jillian Michaels, please put the leggings away.  The place I've noticed it most is airports.  I get it - you like to be "comfy" when you travel, but please.  I've literally traveled around the world without having to wear workout clothes - I think you can make it from Washington D.C. to Omaha.  Jeans or a maxi dress are just as comfy and look way more put together.  Leggings are not pants, ladies!  Do yourself a favor and put something else on.  Especially if wearing those workout clothes to travel in is the only time you ever wear them. 

 
Come on!  You can do better than that! 
 
It has just rightthissecond occurred to me that the recent trend of wearing these Fitbits might lead people to think they are always working out, therefore it's OK to always wear workout clothes?  Well, you aren't and it's not.  You are literally just living life looking like a gym rat, except not really, because of the whole way gym rats look (since they actually do spend all their free time in a gym working out).  So head on over to Old Navy and buy yourself some real clothes, people!  Get your class back!
 
**End of PSA**
 
Here's a recent picture of my kiddos, for those of you who come here for that :-)  They have 19 more days of school and are super-excited to spend a big chunk of summer at Grandma's house.  Bring on summer!
