Leggings For Days

We all remember wearing those stirrup pants back in the day, atleast us 80’s babies do! Stretch pants are coming back, ladies…minus the stirrups! I’m really trying to channel my inner fashionista and find the styles that look good on me. Anyway, I'm digging the current style of wearing some long black, mid-calf leggings (they can be any color, though) and wearing a dress over top of them with a cute pair of flats. I think this would be great for the winter time and it would cover my bum, creating a slimmer look. Always a plus! :)
This is a really cute outfit, even though it's with heels, and with an oversized belt as well. I've tried the big belt on myself, and personally, I haven't fallen in love yet, but maybe in the future it'll grow on me.
Yes, I admit it, I watch the Hills...don't deny it ladies, I know you do too! But, they've worn the same kind of styles and it simply looks great!
I just recently bought a pair of black leggings at Forever 21, my new favorite place, for $4.50! No lie! That same night I bought the leggings I couldn't quite find a top that I really liked to create that perfect outfit. So, I'll keep you posted on what I find. Maybe this look could work for you too!

Is this a good look for you? Do you dig this style? Do you think it's appropriate for a professional setting? I'll be back later with more updates on staining our bedroom set and painting our dresser pulls! Adios!

i do love leggings and started wearing them this past fall. HOWEVER, i think some people think that leggings can work as pants, and that just isn't so in all cases. i'm big on using them as footless tights under dresses and long tunics, but it should be a LONG tunic.
and yes, i think they can be worn in a professional setting, under dresses or skirts. wouldn't do the tunic thing then, either.

(btw, you're in my google reader, which i use rather than doing the blogger follower thing. so i do keep up! just not as a "follower" per se)
