I kind of hate wearing pants.  They just aren’t that comfortable.  Especially girls’ jeans because they are always supposed to fit super snug which just doesn’t put them in the realms of comfort.

That’s why I was so excited when I came across these super soft cargo pants.  Being a blend of cotton and polyester they felt like pajamas, but still looked like real pants, as opposed to say, pajama jeans.

The only problem was the sizing.  I’m not proportional to a specific size.  My waist is usually little smaller in proportion to my hips.  This means that when I find pants that fit my hips well, they usually are too large on my waist. I often end up being able to pull my pants off without having to unbutton them.  This excess fabric tends to give me a huge gap around the waistband like so.
