You may have been wondering as you have been following my page, "What is up with this girl's obsession with elastic waist pants?!" I cannot deny that obsession! I love them! But here's why......
When Henry was born, almost seven years ago, it was a scary day! We look back on the day and say it was one of the happiest days and scariest days of our lives. Long story short, Henry was in distress right before he was about to be born. Because of this, I had to have an emergency c-section. Since it was one minute faster to get Henry out, my scar is vertical rather than horizontal. (Yes, I look like I have a butt on my stomach! A butt with stretch marks!! Sexy, huh??) Because my scar is horizontal, every pair of pants with a zipper hit right on my scar! When I discovered elastic waist pants, my life was literally changed (dramatic, I know!)! But it really was! When I wear them, my scar no longer bothered me like every pair of other pants! And so my obsession began..... Check out some of my favorites below!
First up is the Rockstar Jeggings from Old Navy! For me, these run true to size. I order them in my regular size of 4. I also really like that they come in regular, tall, and petite sizes. They also have great work options! They have a back pocket but just a faux front pocket.
Next up are my "Old Faithfuls"! I first received these leggings in a Stitch Fix box! Liverpool Sienna leggings are tried and true! I am often asked which leggings I prefer - Old Navy leggings or Liverpool Siennas. Honestly, that is hard to answer. I have only recently started wearing Old Navy's version, but I have been wearing my Liverpools for about 5 years! Here are a few of my favorites below. I am 5'5" and prefer the ankle version to wear with booties and flats. For me, they are the perfect length. I also size one size down in these (from a 4 to a 2). I first received a 4, and while they fit, I just felt more sucked in with the size 2 pants.
I also like the Wit & Wisdom brand from Nordstrom. They still have a zipper and button, but somehow the elastic in the waist makes them incredibly comfortable. They run true to size.
