Wait for it,
Suspense…
Keep scrolling…
LEGGINGS! Which. Are….NOT PANTS. For all those that remember, there was a “No Pants VT” website which actually catalogued the young women on campus who ventured to commit this fashion fau pas. And I am not here to pick up her (or his) slack, but wish to celebrate successful implementation of leggings in a stylish wardrobe.
To preview the rest of this post, I would venture to explain that leggigns can be worn not just as workout gear and there are some hard and fast rules that you CANNOT VIOLATE:
1. Please DO NOT wear a top that does not stop above your thighs…yikes. I myself may have badonkadonk thighs, so I keep their exposure at a minimum. Your ass-ets may not always need to be seen. Imagination is key.
2. Well, I mean that’s really the only rule I have…
And this is the ultimate NO. Tights as pants:
Without further ado, I give you the chicest leggings of all time...well, ok
The girl in the middle...H&M leggings, circa 2008. I'm a fan of them. Here are some you can find now with a similar vibe:
H&M website! It also comes in Beige...but I'm not a fan for $49.95! Not bad.
Count on Rihanna to BRING IT! And Nikki Minaj is one of the plus size women I can count on to violate expectations in an...interesting way!
Again, H&M circa fall 2008 with liquid leggings! I also pair this with a gold biker jacket. So. Much. Yum.
Here's a similar find for now:
Also, I'm a fan of this look, trying to figure out how to pull it off:
So, that is my deal! Next up, trends for 2012! And what dsigners are coming to H&M, Target, and other local brands! SO PUMPED!
Anywho, much love till soon,
