this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I got new exercise leggings that are boot cut, which Tim immediately critiqued ("Leggings are tapered to the ankle -- those are just yoga pants that fit snug around your thighs!"), and it made me realize I'm unclear on the taxonomy of sweatpants/joggers/yoga pants/lounge pants/leggings.
I feel like sweatpants and joggers are basically the same thing, although in my mind, sweatpants are a thicker fabric and have elastic at the ankle, while joggers don't have elastic at the ankle and may or may not be a somewhat lighter-weight fabric. Honestly, my concept of yoga pants is basically the same as joggers (soft fabric, no elastic at the ankle). But then lounge pants are also soft fabric, no elastic at the ankle, so there's a whole lot of overlap going on here. Leggings implies a snug fit (except, I guess, for boot cut leggings, which are indeed snugly fit from the waist to the knee, where they start to flare out into the boot cut).
Anyway, these boot cut leggings are super soft and I might have to live in them forever (the deep sea color is on sale, so I had no choice but to get them: [link] ).

Our wings are not tired.
I just call them comfy pants.

They all really do fall under that umbrella, don't they?

Okay, now let's do culottes, clamdiggers and jorts!

Gotta throw capris in there, too.

Would've been better alliteration too.

You can move the jorts over with the shorts and the skorts.

I feel like we're moving pretty close to an Animaniacs patter song.
ION, I just looked at my bloodwork results and my titres are good to go for Rubella, Measles and Mumps. (I remember having all of them as a kid. Rubella and Mumps back to back. That was rough.)

I dislike having fabric flapping about when I’m doing yoga so I wear leggings for yoga not yoga pants. Ironically!
Btw, I’m now a Certified Yoga Trainer!! Pretty sure that means I can now start my own cult!! Anyone interested??
