I’m wearing yoga pants. There. The secret is out.
I’ll tell you another secret: I’m wearing yoga pants, but I didn’t go to yoga (and I miss it so!).
And one more secret, for good measure: It is very possible to wear not a tailored stitch, look chic, and feel über-comfy. ‘Tis the season for flares, anyway.
Can I get an…OM?

Awh! I love that you’re wearing yoga pants! I’m wearing yoga pants as I type. Comfy chic is where it’s at and spring and summer make me want to ditch the tailoring and be free! This look brought a smile to my face because it’s the type of look I try to create for work. I think you already know that I work at a gym so I spend a lot of time in yoga pants, but I still want to look chic and pulled together as well. I love the pairing of the tank and scarf and the sheer cardi is divine. You definitely get an OM! xoxo

You take the fiercest outfit pictures in all the blogosphere, babe. Just had to be said.
Love the pattern mixing, love the yoga pants, love the leopard pumps. Everything about this is chic, fun and comfy. And seriously, that tank is Old Navy? It’s cute! I don’t know why I don’t go there more often.
@gritandglamour
April 10, 2011
Lord, thanks honey! That’s quite a compliment because I always feel like I still have a lonnnnng way to go!
FYI: The tank is Old Navy from years ago, when it was so great. They’ve changed they’re designs or sourcing, or something since then, and I’ve had no luck there for like the last year. Sigh.

Seriously, V, only you could rock pumps and yoga pants and make it work! I love this look…I love the fact that you didn’t go to yoga but still wore the pants even more. Maybe I should wear my running shorts on days I don’t run? Hmmm….

I didn’t notice the leopard print pumps until I got to the end of the post I had to scroll back up to the top. I’ve been doing yoga myself recently as part of my work out plan and it’s a killer!
I love the tank top with the chevrons on and of course the pumps…leopard print is all good with me. The tank top is very missoni!

Um, yeah for the flare loving! In fact, you have totally helped make up my mind what the next look on my blog shall be
I love the colour of yours, I am still playing safe with variant shades of blue.
My yoga pant equivalent is hareem pants. If I could I would live in them. So comfy!
Thanks for the comment on the post. I was reading one of your old articles the other day – about being comfortable with the type of blog you keep and I think I am just starting to really figure that out for myself. OTD focused blogs aren’t such a bad thing! Thanks for the prompter x

You sure can get an OM, I`ll even throw in an OMG mixed prints and pimped out yoga pants! J`adore. I love that you are doing more fashion posts too. Also, I wanted to give you feedback on the commercial on top of your site, it looks great! Very in keeping with your blog, doesn`t take away from your content, and has me coveting new bags. Job well done
Also, I have now branced out into wearing several statement rings at once (shocking development I know
, but, I did only dear wear red nail polish a couple of months ago) thanks to feeling inspired by you my friend.
You know, you are strikingly stunning, and I love that, but what always get`s to me more is YOU, and your beauty inside. Happy weekend dahling!

WOow so Frankly beyond the yoga pants’ question I can’t help BUT say that this subtle “One bare shoulder effect” MUST be tagged “with a high content of early-summery sensuousness”, AND that these patterns do not fail to create a kind of stylish symbiosis between the awakening Nature and your KILLing Haughtiness Dear V !!!

Hi Vahni,
I just came across your blog via the post on Styling You, where you were mentioned as one of the 5 bloggers who inspire Nikki to be a better blogger.
Love your site – well done!!
I had to laugh when I read your post here about wearing yoga pants when not going to yoga. I just wrote about this, after getting some survey results back from mothers saying that 20% claim to have a ‘good’ tracksuit that they wear out but when not exercising. http://www.foxinflats.com.au/2011/03/tracksuit-rule/
Looks like you hit the jackpot of a comfort, practicality & style with this outfit!

Chevrons plus chevrons plus leopard – very nice combination. You look great in your yoga pants! I think the trick is to keep the top covered up a bit, as you have. The yoga pants and gym bra combo looks fine at the gym, but not so good shopping for groceries, if you know what I mean.
