Remember when we thought that jeans were comfortable? Oh what a time that was.
But then I got to the point where I could not ignore their benefits. Wrinkle-free, easy to pack, comfortable, and they go with anything. I went ahead and bought a pair. And then I wore that pair out and invested a few pairs of leggings, and I never looked back.
How could I think they would not look cute– leggings are cute on everyone! That’s kind of the point. They are a great basic to build an outfit upon. I started off with just wearing black, but I’ve since experimented with different colors and prints. It’s time to live a little!
Me, basking in comfort and non-restriction.
Now I am actively planning on wearing leggings for the rest of my life. Not every day, of course. But they are my go-to for running errands and casual events. It’s 2019 and will not be bound by the oppression of wearing jeans without a good reason anymore.
Like anything, leggings have their drawbacks. They are all see-through to some extent. That’s why I always wear mine with a top or tunic that goes to at least my upper thigh, so that I’m not flashing the entire world as I go about my day. Additionally, like jeans but at a much faster pace, if you have thick thighs like me, the inseam in the thigh area is on borrowed time. Your heart will break that day when you look down and witness your thighs poking through. I once had to stop by Torrid on my way to the Dentist because my thighs chose that moment to finally break through my leggings and expose themselves to the outside world.
But even with their drawbacks, I am still all about the leggings fo life. I love Forever 21 and Torrid for getting my legging fix. What about you all? Do you wear tights and leggings? Where are your favorite places to get them?
