Not so Juicy

Velour sweatsuits have always been a source of confusion for me. I never quite understood why someone would pay 200 dollars for a zip up and sweatpants. Though I love the variety of colors the popular sweatsuits have to offer, I personally prefer plain black sweats. Besides, I'm not one for perfect matching, so velour was never even a point of consideration for me. But between midterms and recent rainy days, comfort is constantly on my mind. I've been in need of some new lazy day/studying pants for a while. I mostly wear yoga pants, but I find that they shrink and wear out easily. Last week, I saw a shelf of velour pants and zip ups in one of my favorite bargain stores, New York and Company. Since I am always on the prowl for new sweats, and they had a black pair, I decided to try them on. They were far cozier than I expected, and they fit perfectly. The best part, of course, was that the sweats only cost 29.95, as opposed to the 118 dollar price tag from other brands. I used a 15% discount that New York and Company provided, and I got my new favorite pair of sweats for just 24.95 (So far, I see no difference between this pair and the far more expensive option.)
