A BOGO I Couldn't Resist

On Tuesday, Dover sent me a BOGO email. You probably got it too. I almost always just hit delete, but before I did, I thought I should at least see what the deal was about. Oh, man, I am so (not) glad that I did. It was a BOGO for the breeches that I just bought last month. The breeches that I really, really, really love.

Here's the thing. Yes, I know I have enough pairs of breeches, but some of them are on the way out. They're getting a bit threadbare. That's especially true of my really hot weather summer tights. I love those tights, but they don't have a pocket. I've decided that henceforth I will not be buying tights without a good cell phone pocket.

You've already seen this photo, and it's not 100% accurate because I add two new pair last month.

The Stride by Dover Saddlery® Ladies' Full-Seat Tech Tight has an AMAZING pocket. It's the best pocket I've ever had in a pair of tights, in any pair of breeches actually. I would buy these breeches just for the pocket; it's that good. Not only is the pocket great - because really, you can't ride in a pocket, the breeches themselves are freakishly comfortable. They're so comfortable that I went for a run in them the other day. I also shoved my iPhone in the pocket so I could map my speed and distance. The phone never budged, and the breeches performed better than my running pants! 

I already have the black and silver. The navy and lime are now on the way.

I also really like my new Dover Saddlery® Wellesley Silicone Full-Seat Breech. Even at full price, $99.95, they're worth it. They're comfortable enough to wear all day, and they don't sag like SmartPak's Pipers. My only complaint is that once summer hits, they'll be a bit too warm, but that's true of every pair of breeches I own. That's why I wear tights in the summer. The only negative thing  I can say about them is that while there is a rear pocket, it's not big enough for anything other than a horse treat. My cell phone fits in the front pocket, but not if I bend over or sit down.

Last month I bought a gray/lilac pair. This pair is black/gray.

If you're in need of a pair of breeches, Dover's BOGO sale is good on these items. The promo code is good through April 19th. Use promo code CMXBCOOL at checkout. Oh, and if you get a USEF discount - mine is always applied automatically, you'll need to delete that code as Dover will only let you use one code at a time.

Was this a case of retail therapy to alleviate boredom, depression, frustration, or a desire to boost the economy? I don't know, maybe? I liked them/needed them and had a bit of extra money to spend, so I did. Like I said. It was a BOGO I couldn't resist.
