Have I mentioned how much I love Parks & Recreation? If I could only watch one show for the rest of my life, I’m pretty sure I’d pick Parks & Rec. Actually, it’s already pretty close to the only show I watch.

If you’re a fellow fan, I’m sure you’ve seen the Harvest Festival episode, right? Well, then you can understand why I was so excited to hear about a Harvest Festival right in my own city (Indianapolis, (lit-rally the greatest city in the world). There was wine, a plethora of pumpkins, and…AND… a mini horse named Lil Sebastian so my life was pretty much made.

If you’re not a Parks & Rec fan, well, now you know how I feel when people talk about Game of Thrones.

I’ve been wanting a new pair of faux leather pants for a couple years now, and every time I try on a pair of real pants (not leggings), they’re always not quite right. And with leather pants, if they’re not quite right, they’re absolutely horribly wrong.

Then I read a bunch of reviews of the Spanx faux leather leggings decided to consider breaking my usual “leggings do not equal pants” rule. I mean if leggings cost over $100 then they frigging better be as good as real pants. I must say…I’m impressed. They don’t look thin in the areas where they have to stretch more, and they manage to stay nice and flat in the front instead of doing unattractive things to the crotchal region like most regular leggings and even some ponte pants. They’re not incredibly warm, but warm enough for the 40s at least.

Have I convinced you to buy your own pair?! If you do, my last piece of advice is on sizing. They’re Spanx so they’re supposed to be super snug and make you look a little slimmer. I wasn’t so worried about the shapewear aspect (I would rather not fall down or pull a muscle while trying to put them on), so I went for a size small instead of my usual XS.
