LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS
I have had a wild and crazy month. I have been traveling way more than usual and then November is the month that I organize a craft fair. I am so nutty that I have been going through my emails making sure I have replied to everyone. The problem is that I reply on different items, laptop, desktop, and cell phone, so I don’t have all my emails in one spot only.
Because I have the memory of a gnat, I replied to one reader today only to have her email me back that she appreciated my reply but I had already replied to her once. Lol! I guess I would rather reply twice as not to reply at all. The craft fair was this weekend so maybe I can get back to normal now. Oh wait, Thanksgiving is coming up and Christmas shopping is something I need to start doing, so don’t count on it. Just smile to yourself if you happen to receive two email and think, “she’s a little scatterbrained but she means well.” Haha!
Here I am in mostly gray. I like gray as long as it is not in my hair. My gray hair isn’t that “pretty” gray that some women are blessed with, it is more that yucky half blonde half gray look. It just looks dirty instead of pretty and white. The gray in this LOGO top is not exactly the same color in my leggings but it still “goes” with the look. The top has a v-neck, which I love, and pockets. I will always choose a v-neck if possible because it elongates my neck. I don’t want to look like a giraffe but I don’t want my neck looking all squatty either.
Don’t you just love this necklace? This was sent to me by Julie from Kay & Star. She was so sweet she actually sent me this plus some Halloween necklaces for me and my two BFF’s. Their jewelry is so pretty and more importantly, it is great quality. I have received several pieces from them and I have NEVER had any problems with anything.
What do you think about these leggings? Would you have purchased these if you had seen them in the store? These remind me of those ink splotch pictures you see where you have to guess what they are showing you. Lol! I have been on a legging kick recently and I think it is going to get even worse. Someone asked me if leggings had replaced hosiery and that is about true. No one wears hose anymore, you will either wear tights, leggings or just go bare legged. I bought these at a pop-up boutique party that one of my friends was having. These sold for 10.00, which I thought was a good deal till I went to the craft fair this weekend. There was a vendor set up selling leggings for $5.00 a pair! Let’s just say that I came home with a bag FULL! Everyone needs to remember that leggings are not pants. Please wear leggings like you would hose, uder dresses and tunics with your hiney covered. If I don’t wear them with an outfit I will wear them to sleep in. I know I what I said about bedroom attire, but come on gurls, it is cold in the winter.
My mother asked me the other day about a pair of boots I was wearing. She thought they looked like they were different heights so here is a picture of these two together to show her they are the same. Haha
See what she means, with my leg bent forward the boots look like they are different. I love these boots c/o White Mountain Shoes. They are called the Bethesda and come in this stone color. They are super soft and the half zipper on the inner lower part of the boot make them easy to pull on. I have one pair of boots that I love but hardly ever wear because they are so hard to get on. I now look for zippers in my boots. Lol!
I chose my ivory/winter white satchel to carry with this outfit. I wanted the only color to be from the leggings and I didn’t want to have a purse that competed for attention. This purse is one I love because of the color and the style, but it is a no-name purse so I can’t link to it, sorry. These are the best I could do.http://rstyle.me/n/b6nd6sb6xt7

I love this outfit!!! I am just recently becoming brace enough to try leggings out! I feel
more comfortable in patterned ones as opposed to solid color because I’d like to think that helps hide my lumps or bumps that I would rather not share with others. I hate cellulite!
I’m a new follower!! And I love your posts and your clothes!! You choose pieces that I could actually find and wear ? Thank you so much!!
Early last spring when I attended a conference with some fellow teachers (I have since retired), I wore a long white button down and black leggings. One of teachers commented as we were leaving our hotel room, “Robin, you have such tiny little legs!” I am short and chubby (apple shaped), so to hear anything about me called tiny was awesome. I floated on air all day after her comment! I wish I was brave enough to wear patterned leggings. Yours look great!
I am LOVING all of my new LuLaRoe buttery leggings. They are DIVINE. But, I agree…THEY ARE NOT PANTS !!! Wear them with a dress or long tunic that covers your rear and your *crotch* area.
This outfit is by far my favorite !
I just looked at the pictures and now I’m
Leaving a reply lol
Let me go back and read now, you look so fresh and youthful ? LOVE IT!!!
Stunning! I really love this outfit!
Nice outfit but last week one of your readers commented that leggings weren’t for her. Now I am wondering if that vendor selling them for $5.00 was because they are on the way out. I am not seeing them much in higher end stores but then I haven’t been looking for leggings because I don’t like them on me. You style them well. I think of my clothes as investments and I want every item I purchase to work with at least 3 other things in my closet. It makes mixing and matching easier.
Love the fleece lined leggings on cold days.
Cutest outfit ever!
This outfit is stunning and is definitely my style also. I adore leggings, they are so comfortable and sleek looking….as long as your hiney is covered as you mentioned. Love your blog Tania!
