The Leggings Adventure - I want to know yours!

By now everyone has bought at least 2 pair of leggings.  I personally don't remember what I did before leggings...LOL.  They are comfortable, cute, and cover up and leg problems any of us might or might not have.  With ample thighs it seems inevitable that I will rub a hole in the inner thigh part, so I have been on the lookout for thicker leggings.  I have bought a total of 5 pair of leggings ranging from as low as $10 and up to $40. 

Newport News - Capri Leggings - $14 - I bought these at the beginning of Summer.  They are starting to get tiny holes in them but overall they lasted for a pretty decent lenght of time.  They were on the thin side and they seem to run a size too big, so ladies order 1 size down

Target - Ankle Length Leggings - $10 - I bought these at the beginning of Fall.  I have already tossed them in the trash.   They were cute, but thin, and the elastic waist band got all bunched up in the waist.  My reason for tossing them was there was a giant in the inner thigh that my thighs are responsible for.

Lane Bryant - Capri Leggins - 24.50 - I bought these 2 summers ago.  These were made out of a thick nylon.  They ran and were rendered useless.  Don't buy these.

Lane Bryant - Stirrup Leggings - $39.50 - These were made out of a nylon material that was thicker and Lane Bryant sought to solve the inner thigh issue by putting an extra panel of fabric between thigh area.  The problem is that the nylon material runs.  I have gotten a small run in the crotch of the my leggings.  I am pissed about that because the leggings were so expensive.  Also the fit on the leggings was off (which I thought was weird because isn't legging supposed to conform to your body?!?). In the long tradition of Lane Bryant the crotch was too long and I had to continually pull the legging up because they would fall too low.  I know I got my size right because the size down was too small.  I guess Lane Bryant attempted to tailor their leggings...LOL.  These are definitely not worth the money. 

Why did I buy two pair of nylon leggings from Lane Bryant - "I have no idea!" What the heck is wrong with me?  I guess I saw the stirrup leggings and how thick they were and this time would be different...Guess not! (I guess I am kinda talking to myself...LOL)

Ashley Stewart - Ankle Length Leggings - $19 - I had an "ah ha" moment when I found these.  I'm not much of a fan of Ashley Stewart, but I needed some workout legging and they were close so I walked in.  These leggings are thick the material is tight.  So they will last long, but will also serve a somewhat of a body shaper.  Of all the leggings I have had they make my legs look the best and most contoured.  Definitley worth the money!

I know everyone would like to know where they can get a great pair of leggings so readers please share with everyone else where you got your best pair of leggings.  Comment about your best pair of leggings!
