Favorite Things: Victoria's Secret... whaaatttt???

Yes you read it right.  I LIKE Victoria's Secret mainly for one fabulous product that they sell:  their yoga pants.  I first discovered the VS yoga line nine years ago when I was first married to Dan.  (Come on now... what young bride to be hasn't perused the pages of a VS catalog?!)  Back then I had no idea that VS sold clothing.  I ordered a few pairs of classic yoga pants and I was hooked for life.  Here is what I love about them:
1.  They come in a variety of colors and styles.
2.  They come in several lengths including long length!!  YES- no more high waters!
3.  They are so versatile: from workouts and lounging to dressed up with cute heals or boots and a fancy top.
4.  They are SUPER comfy.  I wouldn't wear them otherwise.
5.  They are of a very high quality and last a long time.  I just ordered more towards the end of my pregnancy after having my original pairs for 9 years!
6.  VS offers deals on their yogas quite often which makes them affordable.  I get mine 2 pairs for $50.
7.  VS yoga pants fit my body in its various states of chubbiness and skinniness. 
8.  Most importantly they are cut to flatter the body.  This is what distinguishes VS yogas from many other brands and in my opinion makes them worth the money.
The classic yoga pant that started it all.
 Don't let the size zero models scare you away from this product.  I am no skinny mini and their size XL fits me just great!  This time around I tried a few different yoga pant styles:
The Yoga Foldover Crop Pant
 The Yoga Foldover Pant

And my new favorite the Yoga Pocket Pant which sadly VS no longer carries  =(




Considering that VS no longer carries the yoga pocket pant the classic yoga pants are still my favorite.  Try them out!  Your wardrobe and your backside will thank me!

Remember Friends:  
1.  Never pay full price!  Wait for a sale or there is always a discount code to use when ordering online.
2.  You will get VS catalogs in the mail ETERNALLY for ordering from them.  I always get to the mail first and burn them before Dan even knows they are there... he he he.

I'm a VS fan too. They have the only bra that helps this girl out up top. I will certainly be getting the yoga pants and giving them a try. Love your blog :)

I LOVE my VS Yoga pants (especially now)! They are about the only thing I can handle around my waist anymore. The best part is the long's are actually long enough!

I would have LOVED those when I was pregnant and couldn't handle tight things on my tummy. I love that they're NOT maternity, but would work during pregnancy in a pinch. If God ever blesses me with another pregnancy, I will be sure to check these out!

Just to let you know... whenever I order VS online and get on their mailing list, I call and ask to be removed. They honestly and easily remove you until the next time you order. Then I don't have to worry about getting the mail every time. ;0) My husband is very grateful I do this...

Just don't buy their underwear! I watched a show where people returned used VS underwear and they took them back and put them on the shelf! Yuck!

I LOVE them, too! I also like the pink line of yoga pants for their fun colors.;) I also get them on sale and love that they carry and XS and a short inseam/ petite size. So many places have only S,M,L and those of us who are a bit smaller or larger can't fit them and I love that these truly fit any body and make them look good. I also LOVE the champion brand workout pants you can get at target. They are rarely on sale, but they are a steal at $20 a pop...last forever, so comfy and flatter the body. They also carry petite XS to long XL, so they fit all women.;)Go yoga pants!
