Why am I writing about this? Because I do it. Like, 6 days a week. Then I wear jeggings on the 7th day.
Lots of people totally hate this trend, and to be honest, when I see it on other people, I kind of hate it too. It's mostly only if you have your whole booty showing.. that's a little much for me. I know you all know what I'm talking about. However, if you pair it with a nice long shirt or tunic or something of the sort, more power to you. I think it looks stylish and comfy and oh so good for winter.
I also don't think leggings = tights. They're a good crossover, for sure, but they are not tights. Trust me. As a dancer who had to wear tights every day of my life for 20 years.. leggings have about 10 notches on tights.
Anyway, 99% of the time, I make sure to cover the booty when I sport the leggings (and jeggings). You also have to understand that I'm a massage therapist who has the liberty to wear pretty much whatever I want at work.. and it's actually quite a physical job. Since I don't think my polar pajama pants would be acceptable, I wear leggings. I also think they make me look skinny (no extra fabric to bulk me up), and they let me stretch (which I'm kind of a freak about). So there's that. I even have a pair in gray and a pair in brown.. I mean, who does that? Who gets leggings in colors?
As hard as I try, though, I did kind of break the cardinal rule yesterday.
They allow for maximum expansion from all that sugary goodness.
Where do you stand on the L.A.P. debate? Are you a leggings addict like I apparently am at the moment, or are you just a casual wearer?
Wear 'em tight, wear 'em proud, girls.
PS. Everyone says don't apologize for going MIA in the bloggy world.. so I'm NOT apologizing. (Although I am sorry. Only 'cause I miss it and I miss you all!)
