You asked for it...

"Shy" is not an adjective I generally use to describe my friends, but you guys seem to be Shrinking Susans about asking for advice -- even when it's an anonymous request. Come on, people! I'm offering you unfettered access to my brain.

Fortunately, one brave soul stepped up to ask me about pants:

Juliana, 

Is it wrong/unstylish/horrid to wear yoga pants excessively? Even if you're wearing them purely due to a steadfast commitment to comfort? I've recently started a new, much more professional job, so I've stopped wearing them to work, which I admit has been much more difficult than expected. But I really don't see a problem with wearing them while running errands, lounging around the house, hanging with friends or even going to the occasional yoga class... Will I wear them to a bar or a fancy-ish dinner? God yes, and I'm proud of it (you can dress up yoga pants with great boots and kick-ass jewelry - any fool knows that). So lay the truth on me sister... Am I freakish?

Anonymous,

You are asking a girl who showers and heads straight to work with wet hair every morning; I am all about shirking my womanly duties to look spring fresh, so my first instinct is to say you should not be shunned for wanting your butt hugged 24/7.

However! I will perform the blowdry song-and-dance on special occasions, and it sounds like you aren't giving any ground in that arena. Dub me a fool if you like, but I pair my kick-ass jewelry with a similarly kick-ass outfit when the situation calls for fancy; anything less would be uncivilized (plus, "dress" code? Not a coincidence). Sounds like you need to Step it Up 2: Da Streets.
