Product Review: Second™ Yoga Jeans

Yoga Jeans - aren't those two conflicting ideas, you ask? Not anymore!

Second™ Denim Co. has a line of jeans that are literally comfortable and flexible enough for you to do yoga in. I was so excited to receive these jeans, but I was sort of sceptical at first as to whether they would actually be as comfortable and flexible as claimed. Well! Honestly, these are easily the most comfortable jeans I have EVER worn. Have you ever put on a pair of yoga pants? You know, the kind with a stretchy waistband that you can go to the gym in? Yeah. That's what these feel like!!! I couldn't believe it. I can even do the splits in them. They are called Second™ Denim Co. because they fit like a second skin. They literally feel like yoga pants, but look like a fantastic pair of jeans! These jeans are from a Canadian company, and they are 100% made in Canada, meaning that you know that their production was ethical, and you are supporting local, homegrown business. I have worn these so many times since I got them, and they haven't lost their shape at all. They wash well, and look and feel great on. They are totally unrestrictive and they feature diagonal stretch so that they move and change shape with your body. They have a multi-piece waistband that follows your curves and allows you to move around without it cinching. I can't express how much I love these jeans. I hope they never wear out so that I can wear them forever! LOVE!!! They come in overdye black and rinse (blue denim) in both skinny (#84) and bootcut (#83) styles. I am wearing the overdye black in the skinny style. You can check out the skinny jeans on their website here, and the bootcut jeans here. 

Check 'em out on me!

SexyPlus Clothing and Big Beautiful Wellness' Annual Party

Hey Everyone,

Stefanie, the owner of the store SexyPlus Clothing in Toronto, invited me to model on the runway in Big Beautiful Wellness' Annual Party, which they sponsor. I am very excited about this opportunity, but I am also SO totally nervous to be walking in a fashion show... Everyone will be looking at me... Agh! I think it will be fun, just as long as I don't die from stage fright!

So I was invited down to SexyPlus Clothing to the model fitting so that they could see me in a bunch of different outfits and pick which ones I will walk in.

This is my own outfit that I wore to the fitting. Outside of SexyPlus Clothing. Top, Bracelets, Earrings, and Jeans - Forever 21+/Shoes - Target/Purse - Costa Blanca Accessories/Necklace - Penningtons

These are a few of the outfits that didn't get picked. You'll just have to come to the fashion show to see what did make the cut!!!

It was a very unusual experience to let someone else style me. It was hard to give over that much control! But I think they did a great job and I am very pleased with what they ended up picking out for me to wear. It seems like a really great store with very comfortable fitting rooms, excellent customer service, and a pretty wide selection of stuff to meet a variety of different customers' needs. They also have quite a nice selection of lingerie. 

I will be wearing four different outfits in the show, and all of them are fabulous. If you are located within striking distance of Toronto, you should definitely come and check out the show and the party. I would love to see you all there and have you cheer me on! I'll need it! SO nervous. 

This year's event will take place at the Holiday Inn Yorkdale, and you can access the Facebook event page here. Big Beautiful Wellness is a wonderful organization that promotes body positivity and spiritual, psychological, and physical health, and all members of the Toronto plus size community should try to make it out to support them. I hope I see a lot of you there! You can check out SexyPlus Clothing's website here, and their Facebook page here.

And here is a poster with more information about the event!
