So, I have a confession to make. This weekend, I opened my mail to find that a local retailer had sent me a pair of velour track pants. Because I had heard so much about how comfortable they are, I decided to give them a whirl. And you know what? I loved them. Wore them all weekend, and even to an impromptu brunch at a neighbors apartment. I have to say, I was wrong.
Yes, I was wrong. Don’t gloat.

April Fool’s. Obviously. Velour track pants? Not even if the only other option was shearling lined flannel pants.
LOL! OMG, I completely fell for it!
Okay, that’s twice in the last 15 minutes I’ve been gotten. Nicely done.
Phew! I almost fell out of my chair.
Well done! I am such a sucker.
I nearly went into cardiac arrest! Don’t do that again! Got me.
Haha! Well done.
Geez, I was really worried. I thought next you would reneg on your "Crocs should burn in hell" sentiment.
I knew something was wrong when you said you wore them to brunch. EVEN IF YOU LIKE THEM, you don’t actually wear them places.
… except to take exams when in law school. I MEAN, WHAT?
Ha! That’s where I started to question too, Meg. I stay in pajamas as much as possible when I’m home, but even I would throw on jeans to go next door to borrow a cup of sugar. I thought, surely, these were fancy sweatpants.
You absolutely got me. I mean, I was horrified, questioned weather I could ever return to the site, and then safe to say very relieved.
