RE: Leggings

OMG leggings were my uniform in elementary school. I must have owned at least 5 pairs of black leggings at any given time. I also LOVED getting brightly colored ones too.

I have seen this look for the past year or so on so many LA girls...they tend to be younger and I've seen skinny girls look cute and plus size girls...look...well some of them look OK.

I am tempted to try it but I'm not entirely sure if I'm thin enough for it...maybe after I lose 10 lbs I'll give it a run.

i don't really like them under skirts- they do remind me too much of the 80's. what i love though is cut off leggings with sort of blousey tunics in a mod way. i think its pretty cute. not for everyone though. i do like the stylediary look with the printed leggings because they just look like printed tights- you can't see where they end because of the boots. i'm ok with that.

carrie, would you mind putting together an outfit or two that you might wear with those and posting them for us?

Sure! Although, I'll probably wear them under my denim minis the most, with either flip-flops or cute flats, and cute tees. Something that just popped into mind is maybe doing them under some denim bermudas, with flips and a tee. I like to be super casual and kind of different, so those ideas follow what I like :)

Hmm, maybe in the next couple of weeks I'll actually put on something and take pics too
