“Oh, hey! I want to write about Gap jeggings, so I’ll take a picture of myself in them to show how awesome they are!”
And then Gabe started yelling and my mirror was dusty and I am stuck with this photo.
It’s a true story, though. Gap sent me jeggings (and a few pairs of dress pants) and, oh my WORD, they are comfortable. They are truly the new mom jeans. They are soft and cozy enough to wear all day at home (for bending, crawling, dancing) and are completely acceptable to wear out in public for errands or hanging out with friends (unlike my yoga pants). They have pockets and belt loops and look very pant-like, without making you want to take them off the minute you walk in the door and slip into sweatpants.
Tim Gunn has a list of ten essential wardrobe items every woman needs, one of which is a ‘sweat suit alternative.’ And, my friends, I’ve found it: jeggings, a t-shirt, cardigan, and a scarf. Yes, ‘jegging’ is a terrible, awful name – but that doesn’t negate how awesomely comfy they are. Amen.
Prior to being a Gap-brand enthusiast, I admit I’d never bought one item from the store in my entire life. I always assumed it was too expensive for me. Nearly three years later, I have become full-on addicted to Gap clothes for both Gabe and myself. My favorite jeans of all time are ripping after two years of constant wear (I only have two pairs of jeans). BabyGap socks are the best socks ever. The maternity jeans and khakis I wore everyday are folded up in my closet waiting for their chance to shine again.
I’m finally learning the lesson about buying quality stuff being better than buying cheaply made, inexpensive stuff. (I also recently splurged on a pair of Nine West heels after enduring blisters again from my cheap Target pair). Less is more when it’s good quality.
I’m drinking the KoolAid, I suppose.
Anyhow, I have a gift card for a free pair of jeans to give away. Just in time to get a snazzy new pair of pants for the holidays!
To enter, leave a comment below! One entry per person. For use in the US and Canada, only. Giveaway ends Friday, December 9th at noon EST.
MOM JEANS.
Gap didn’t compensate me to write this, or even ask me to. Gushing is 100% my own opinion. They did give me some clothes, though, which were awesome.
After years of not finding anything there I liked, I LOVE the new Gap jeans. Long and lean, fit me perfectly. Worth every penny! :)
I would be sooo excited to get some Gap goodies! Definitely in need of some jeans, and some comfy mom jeans would be even more awesome!
I love Nine West! They make some of my most-loved and most-worn heels! :) I also think that quality is super important, I’ve loved some of my more expensive (to me) items so much they get ten times more wear than cheaper, trendier items.
xox
Oooh, I really want to try these jeggings you speak of!
So jealous of your jeggings! I am majorly in need of some new jeans right now too, so I really hope I win this giveaway!
ALSO – not sure if you will read this or not, but my anal self can’t stop staring at your cardigan being buttoned incorrectly in that otherwise adorable picture of you and Gabe! I am ridiculous, haha.
I love, love, LOVE my yoga pants… but not always appropriate to wear out in the world. I need some jeggings!!
New mom jeans… I love it.
I think I experienced much the same reaction to Gap. I thought it was too expensive. Then I bought one pair of pants, just one. Now I am lusting over a pair of black skinnies that have been in my online shopping cart for like a week. I need a pair of new pants… NEED! :)
I would love love love a new pair of jeans!!! I don’t own anything from Gap but would love the opportunity to. Love the pictures, btw :)
I love Gap jeans so it’s great to hear their jeggings are just as nice!
I would love a new pair of jeans! Being on a grad school budget means that a new pair of jeans is wayyyy on the bottom of the list!
Does anyone make jeggings in a curvy cut?
Boots are my example of “pay more now and they will last for years instead of months” items. Cheap boots are not worth the podiatrist fees they will cause!
I just had a baby 9 wks ago so I am in desperate need of some great jeggings!!
Those sound amazing! I’ve been struggling with ideas for people that ask what I’d like for Christmas as I just don’t have a lot of “wants”. These however, will be going on the list!
I need a pair of these! I’m a new mom to a 2 week old, jeggings sound a lot better than sweatpants.
I just discovered the beauty of jeggings and would love a pair from the Gap!
Gap jeans are awesome and some of my favorites. I would love a new pair especially since funds are tight around the holidays.
Ok, well I just need that gift card. I could go for a new pair of jeans or some jeggings. Please, oh please, random picker pick me….
Hmm…I think I’ve just always been turned off by the name! LOL I would love a new pair to try after my baby is born in March though!!! :0)
ps – I love the name Ashley on you way more than I like it on myself!
Would love to add a pair of jeggings to my new mom wardrobe! I agree jegging is a silly word. :)
I have never bought a pair of jeans from the Gap but jeggings have been on my radar for some time now! Hope to win this! And your hair looks amazing in the picture on the right with Gabe. I have to try it someday soon.
Love Gap jeans! And have been looking for a reason to try the jeggings!
LOVE baby gap and just recently purchased my first pair of gap skinny jeans for myself. LOVE them too. would really like another pair :)
Gap maternity pants are The Best.
I’ll have to try on their jeggings. I’m still in search of the perfect jeggings. My target ones aren’t bad, but they don’t fit quite right.
I loooove GAP jeans – they’re the only brand I wear.
Oh goodie goodness!!! Yes, please! Man, I would love some new pants right now. I have only two pairs, one which just got a big ol’ hole right in the thigh. Boo!
Gap maternity clothes were my absolute favorite, and I love their baby clothes too!
Ooh! This would be so much fun!
me me me I Love Gap Jeans!!
As you know, my computer cannot load your blog, HOWEVER in the spirit of entering this fabulous giveaway I gave it a shot and JUST YES I want to win! I love jeggings and I love Gap. I also need a new pair of jeggings, I wear mine way. too. much.
Yay! Giveaways!
I’ve actually never owned Gap jeans – or Gap anything for myself! I always thought it was too expensive! I do love their baby clothes, though :)
My Gap jeggings are seriously the second most comfortable pair of pants I own, behind my fleece pajama pants. Which, you know, aren’t so acceptable for wearing to work…
I buy most work clothes at Gap and love the quality and basic style!
Oooh! I love Gap’s perfect boot cut jeans and would LOVE to try their jeggings!
OH LORD! I’ve been drinking the Gap KoolAid too!
I’m a HUGE HUGE fan of their Long and Lean style, but haven’t yet gotten to try their skinny jeans, or jeggings. I hope to, though!
jeggings are also awesome airplane attire. Because like you said, yoga pants are the best, but sometimes not the nicest to stare at.
I splurged on Gap jeans once a few years ago and found out the benefits of adding quality basics to my wardrobe. Usually I don’t spend much on clothes, shopping mostly on the clearance racks and sales, but having quality go-to items really saves money in the long run. Since they are things I wear constantly they don’t wear out as fast as their counterparts. Thanks for the chance to win another pair of jeans!
I am a Gap convert as well, and have also finally accepted that spending a tiny bit more (Gap has some great sales!) on clothes that will last is SO worth it.
Wait, yoga pants aren’t acceptable to wear in public? Whoops :p Guess I need a new pair of jeggings!
Love GAP jeans :)
I don’t know if I could rock jeggings but I’m sure willing to try, if I win. In theory, they sound great.
YES. I’m dying for a pair of the colored jeggings! Totally tempted the rock the purple ones.
Would love some free Gap jeans! I’m also a cheapo when it comes to jeans so a nice, quality pair would be great!
I’d like to enter- thanks!
I am so PLEASED that you got free clothes!! And your “mom jeans”? Well, you’re a mom and you’re wearing jeans. But you look FANTASTIC, so really, you’re cheating there. :)
Love Gap! I worked there, and they make my fave baby clothes by far.
Being a GAP brand enthusiast is, like, my dream. Alas, I shall live vicariously through you. I LOVE GAP JEANS. I actually don’t own any pants that AREN’T from the GAP, so winning another pair (especially as I’m losing some weight!!!) would make my Christmas bright.
Gap (and Old Navy) jeans are the only kind I wear!
Ooo, I totally need a pair of jeans that fits right!
yes please!
Last year I had a hard time finding a new pair of jeans. By the time I got to GAP I was almost ready to throw in the towel and then found a pair that I liked, looked decent on me, and actually fit right! Except they didn’t have a pair left in the color I wanted… so while on a trip to Chicago I dragged my boyfriend to the store on Michigan Ave so that I could get the ones I wanted. My current two pairs of jeans would like some company!
My 10 year old daughter recently enlightened me about jeggings LOL. What do I know, just an old mom. She loves the Gap and wears a size 10 “super skinny” in their jeans. She complains kids tease her about being skinny and I told her when she’s my age she will miss being so “skinny!”
I’ve been wanting some jeggings FOREVER. :)
I am on a shopping-for-myself freeze so winning a pair would be extra awesome!
In my mind, leggings and jeggings are so similar I can’t imagine jeggings being acceptable as pants… but I trust you, so I think I need a pair! :-)
Thanks for hosting!
Ive been dying to try the jegging trend!
Ooh, those sound awesome!
OOOOOO I’d be so excited to try Gap jeans again…I haven’t worn those since I’ve lost 3 jean sizes.
I love Gap jeggings!
love love love Gap jeans!
OHHHH I just love the GAP. I’m really starting to transition from quantity to quality, too. I can’t STAND to buy something cheap, even if it is a great deal, because I don’t want to have to throw it away. Who knew quality clothing could be so green?
WEEEEeeeee jeggings! just bought a pair at AE and I think another color from the Gap would suit me nicely :)
Oh Gap jeans, how I love you so! I have yet to try their Jeggings (I agree, terrible word) but I have their bootleg and skinny jeans and they’re pretty much all I wear when I’m not at work!
I’m in DESPERATE need of new jeans that go beyond the worn-out Saturday jeans I like to try to pull off as “stylish.” I’ve been dying to try these jeggings.
I LOVE Gap jeans! What a great giveaway!
I would love a pair of Gap jeggings too! I have yet to try any jeggings, but am totally in love with leggings and skinny jeans. Still working on getting back to pre-baby sizes and definitely could use a good pair of pants!
Bootleg jeans all the way. :)
I have one pair of jeggings but they are from Marshals and the material looks wayyyy different than the Gap brand in your picture! I’m not even sure what brand mine are! (They may not be any brand name at all) he he I do love Gap clothes as well, but I will have to wait until I”m out of school and have my “big girl” job before I can shop there on a regular basis. I do have one pair of Gap jeans though and they are my favorite ever! They are the straight leg ones. Great for tucking right into boots! :)
Despite the dusty mirror you look so comfy in that pic. I have yet to find a pair of jeggings that I love – I’d love to see if Gap has a pair that work for me!
My daughter LOVES GAp jeans. They are the only jeans that we can find that fit her correctly. At first I balked at the price but like you, Ashley, I have come to realize the quality is worth it!
I was a Gap baby with adorable outfits my mom picked out for me. Now all these years later, I’d love to get a pair of jeans there.
I’m in between sizes–again! At least it’s in the good way this time? Hah. Anyway, these seem like they’d be pretty forgiving and all that!
I have two pairs of jeans & regularly wear. One of them is a Gap pair of skinny’s and my others (bootcut – non Gap) are wearing out. Perhaps a new Gap pair?
Um, could you tell Gap to send me some clothes…or maybe just for me to win this giveaway? :) I’ve been hesitant to try jeggings because the word repulses me…maybe I’ll give them another go – I’ll just refer to them as something else.
I love all my gap clothes! They are classic and hold their shape well – and they always have great sales.
I would love a pair of these jeans! Gap is the only place I shop for jeans and dress pants too. Their clothes are awesome, comfortable, and I always feel put together in their outfits.
p.s. you and Gabe look adorable in the pics!
GAP jeggings are pretty much pants. Just extra stretchy and extra comfy and therefore more perfect.
Hooray for free jeans!
I know people make fun of jeggings but I am dying to try a pair. They combine the best of both worlds, comfort and looks!
I love gap so much!! I haven’t tried the jeggings.
What a fun give giveaway! I’d be thrilled to have a new pair of pants :D
I just fell in love with jeggings too and was embarrassed to admit it! But they fit great and don’t bunch up when I wear boots, which are my other new love, especially now that I’m gearing up for a WI winter. Fashionable footwear that won’t make the bottom of my pant legs cold and wet…boots!
I would love to try a pair of Gap jeggings! I am still trying to figure out my “mom style” 6 months after having my little girl. Maybe the jeggings will get me going in the right direction!?
Ooh, I love gap jeans – I’d love to try a pair of jeggings!
I love jeggings and would love to try out a gap pair!
Jeggings scare me a little, but I trust your judgement!
I would love to win. I think the last time I bought new pants I was in college. I would love to be able to try out jeggings.
I want a pair of gap jeggings so badly! everyone always has good things to say about their quality and fit.
I sure would love me some new jeans!
so totally not mom jeans! cute jeans!!
Jeggings are my absolute favorite. I have one pair from American Eagle that I just love. I could wear them every day.
I need a pair of jeggings, stat. I feel like I’ve waited too long to jump on board the trend. Skinny jeans, yeah ok….But jeggings? I’ve been afraid of. Now is the time to overcome that fear. :)
Ash- get real. ;) Those 2nd jeans are SO not “mom jeans” besides the fact that you are 1) a mom and 2) wearing jeans.
I love my Gap skinny jeans! I’d love to try on a pair of jeggings (hopefully I can get past the name!)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Gap jeans that I got at your jeans party…and a few pairs I got after that :) Sadly when I went to NYC last spring break I somehow ripped my newest & most comfortable pair…they were a little stretchy and I loved them. Sadly the rip has grown and I don’t know if it’s repairable, but I haven’t thrown them away because I can’t bear to do it…I’d rather patch them in a ridiculous way and at least have the luxury to wear them around the house and when doing yard work :)
Sounds great!
I need new mom jeans SO BADLY.
For real.
Awesome giveaway! I need new jeans. I have a pair of gap jeans I found at a thrift store and I love the fit.
Jeggings from The Gap would make my law school career SO MUCH better!
I am so happy you got these sent to you! What a great gift that was!
I’m just shy of 5’9″ and a size 6 or 8. Not THAT tall and not THAT thin but can never seem to find jeans that are long enough. Especially if I want to wear them with heels. I’ll have to check out the Gap… Maybe they make a long jean that is really long :)
I have jeggings as well and LOVE them- I refer to them as my “pajama jeans” like the ones on the infomercial. If they are wrong I don’t wanna be right!
I haven’t bought a pair of Gap jeans in years. I haven’t bought any jean or pants besides $5 jeans at Target.
They sound great. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am very much in need of wearable jeans right now. I would love to give the jeggings a try!
I don’t have any jeans from Gap, but I’ve always heard great things about them. And I need a new pair of jeans!
I don’t think leggings are recommended (fashion-wise) for larger ladies like myself (makes us look even bigger).
But I may watch a little too much TLC “What not to wear”!
: )
I only have 2 pairs of jeans as well! I am going to Germany with my boyfriend for the holidays and a new pair of gap jeans is on my ‘to purchase’ list before I leave since we will be there for 2 weeks!
I have only one pair of jeans, and let’s face it: they don’t last a whole day with a baby. Need more please!
I’ve never owned a pair of jeggings, but would love to try them out.
Have always been afraid of the jegging…. :)
Yes! My Gap jeggings (before my Summer of Carbs) were the best thing I owned. I would make people feel how soft they were. It was totally awkward.
I’ve been wearing “Yoga Jeans” (http://www.secondclothing.com/product.php?id=3) for years, but they are over $100. These “jeggings” sound like a better-priced alternative!
Not sure about the “jeggings,” but I’d love to win a pair of Gap jeans. My one and only such pair is from the thrift store and they’re well-loved and beginning to fall apart. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have always wanted to try jeggings, but have been afraid of what they will make my hips look like! Maybe I should give them a try…
I would love to try these jeggings for the holidays – I bet they’d look really cute with my new boots!
Yes please!!! I’ve missed Gap ever since starting grad school…
do the winning jeans come with the cute baby too?! ;)
I havent been to Gap in years, loved it in school, but now just thought was too expensive. Though knowing you are a fan, I will likely stop in next time I am at the mall.
Off topic, but thank you. I am embarassed to say this but I never thought of being less wasteful until I came across your blog a couple years ago. I am not only becoming more enviromentally conscious but saving money. I have been meaning to comment for years and thank you.
I am 100% obsessed with jeggings as of late…tried a pair from Target, and I honestly don’t see myself ever going back to regular jeans.
I don’t think jeggings would be half as cute on me (I have thicker, muscular legs) but I could sure always use another pair of jeans! Thanks for the giveaway. :)
Oh! I LOVE GAP jeans! Love, love, love!
AAANNNDDDD… I just had a baby a few days ago and need some new pretty clothes to fit this post-baby body and look good at the same time. Pretty please, pick me!
I LOVE the Gap!! And I really want to try these out, thanks for the chance:)
My favorite Gap jeans have a hole and I’d love to replace them!
I just lost a bunch of weight and have had my eye on a pair of GAP jeggings.
i have friends who own like 34 pairs of jeans. who are these people? i own 1.5. winning free jeans would be a VERY merry gap-mas.
Hope to win! Wearing my only pair of gap jeggings as I type this. Problem is, they end up with spit up or baby food on them 5 minutes into the day. So I’d love a secod pair!
I LOVE gap jeans! I’ve been terrified/horrified by jeggings, but I actually really love those ones you’re wearing. My favorite fit of theirs is Long & Lean!
I too resisted jeggings at first, I think it is their ridiuclous & awful name. But now they’re my grad school uniform.
Oooh! My favorite dark wash Gap jeans have gotten all faded and not so dark wash anymore. I would love to replace them by winning your giveaway! Thanks for the contest, Santa Ashley!
I would love a pair of post partum jeans!
