tight end

An article in the new Nylon got my mind reeling about leggings. When I was six it was perfectly acceptable to wear purple leggings (stirrup no less) with bedazzled t shirts. Now I'm not so sure I could pull off the purple stirrups like I used to, however I still fantasize about those days..

Anyways, the article discussed the leggings-as-pants issue. I have to say, when leggings came en vogue circa 2005, I was def an offender of that one. However, older and wiser! I now think leggings are only ok with a long top that covers the butt cheeks. I don't like leggings and skirts at all. I dunno, just looks weird to me, very 14-year-old-Hollister-wearing-mall-rat.

I still continue to don my trusty black leggings, because they're easy, casual, and go with all of my men's shirts that are too long for pants and too short without. Black is really the only color I like for leggings, mainly because it goes with everything. I think if you are going to get a color other than black, they should be insane. The two American Apparel ones pictured here are epic. The blue ones are awesomely shiny. And, like my purple stirrups, I do often have fantasies about the shiny gold ones...
