Hi all,

I am totally between sizes when it comes to pants (like a 16 is too big but a 14 is way too small) and I think I would like to wear leggings. For the gym I wear tek gear capris which hold everything in and I love them (I order them from kohls.com). But I would like a nice day legging (either capri or ankle) to get me through this weird size time. Any recommendations??? I know clothing is personal but maybe if you can comment on what brand you love and where you get it? I can do some digging around :) Thanks a million gazillion!

Flexees has an inexpensive line at Wal Mart. I get the capri leggings. I love them. HERE is the link.

I tried on a friend's spanx capris and they were amazing!

Emily,

i've had great luck with Spanx leggings and capris. (Web site is your best bet, but several stores carry select items) They are pricey, but they hold up wash after wash...and I'm a tough washer. They also tend to be long enough for me, which is a big deal because I'm 6ft tall.

Good luck!
