I do love that worn, dog-eared copy of our Corduroy book, about the cute little teddy bear. These pants made me think of him because they're cuddly, but there the similarity ends. They look hot. Not dripping-with-sex, I-only-wish-I-was-a-stripper-and-not-a-mother hot, but Happy-To-Be-A-Woman hot. In fact, their hang tag says, "for the low-maintenance lady who likes a little wind in her hair."

Another plus? Wear these in early pregnancy, when your water's broken, and two months later, when you realize that your pre-pregnancy clothes will never fit again, even if you've lost the weight, because your body is completely different.

For winter, spring AND fall. Also light enough for cool summer evenings in SoCal.
