Dear elastic pant,
You always leave room for me, and I thank you for that.
You make me feel like I always fit in. You are so flexible with me, you grow as I grow. You were there for me during my pregnancy and were by my side the whole time in the days, weeks and months following the birth of my daughter. No matter how much I push you, you always bounce back. You help keep me it together when I get all bent outta shape. You are kind and forgiving. You flatter me often. You make me feel good about myself. I love you–not in a creepy way, just in that I want you to be always near me kinda way.
Thank you elastic pant…you are a true friend.
Sincerely, ~J

Can I co-sign on your letter to the elastic pants? Wish they made elastic skirts look as good.
Yes! I am pregnant right now and I would like to second your love letter to the elastic pant. Though, the post script to my love letter would be to specify that I am in love with the black elastic pant, cause it makes my big booty look a bit smaller. Now, I’m off to look at your pants selections!
Love this…I will always love and wear elastic pants.
I’d like to co-sign a love letter to black stretchy pants too! Although I spend my days in an office, I still wear black stretchy pants most days – ones that look dressier than yoga pants – because they’re SO comfortable! Woven trousers? Ugh. Makes me feel like a sausage.
who made the middle pair with smocked sides? LOVE!
they are free people–the link is above!
I love a good pair of pants or skirt for that matter that I can just pull on and off. I especially love the bell bottoms but I seem to always be a tad short for those.
Did you ever order anything from the Etsy shop Clothingshow? I remember you said you liked their clothes, and I do too, but I wondered how they were in real life. The prices are good but with the shipping and no possibility for returns, I am reluctant to try.
I haven’t ordered anything from there yet–but yes–im so tempted–their stuff is so on point…
I love love the smocked side pants, but can’t seem to get the link to work. Help?
I adore your love of vibrant color and living, Ms. Justina. Thanks for sharing your self and aesthetic on the Interwebs!
aww–sweet note. thank you! here’s the link again! http://www.freepeople.com/leighanna-smocked-pant/ I have these pants and LOVE them.
