What I Wore Wednesday! Why I Now Love Leggings

I have never done this kind of "what I wore" post before, but it looks like fun!  Mostly, I'm actually not the best dresser. But, I recently discovered leggings & I am in LOVE!  I live in a college town, and I am used to seeing college kids running around town wearing their leggings as pants with little tops & I've just seen too many pairs of leggings that are thin & worn out & quite see-through, making me kinda adverse to wearing them.  (Just don't do that ladies!)  I think of leggings as tights more than pants... if you MUST wear them as pants, at least check to make sure they look okay from behind when you bend over before going into public.  I don't need everyone seeing my undies!

Moving on... I've obtained a pair or two now & they are just sooo comfortable & I've decided they are amazing when worn with dresses or tops that cover my rear-end.  When wearing these with long tops & dresses, it's like wearing pajamas to work!  So awesome.  How did I not discover this sooner?  I'm pretty sure everyone knew but me.

So this is what I wore to work & to Bible study yesterday.  I asked my hubby to take the pictures... I guess I didn't really explain the assignment too well, we were in a hurry trying to get it before the sun went down, so he didn't get my bottom half really at all, but it's fun anyway.

Dress: La Posh Style
Leggings: Vera Wang from Kohls
Watch: Old, by Invicta
Glasses: Davis Vision from Kellogg Eye Center

I really love this La Posh dress.  I hadn't worn dresses or skirts very much in ages, but now I'm beginning to remember why I used to wear them all the time when I was younger, like in my middle school/high school days.  They are so easy, breezy, and comfortable especially in these warmer weather months!  I kinda want pretty much every casual style dress I see these days.  Must. Resist. Purchasing. Them all!

Uh... don't mind Mojo's lifted leg in the background... haha!
Do you like leggings?  What are some of your favorite things to wear them with?  I now have 3 pair, how many (& what colors) do you have?

    I am big fan of leggings. I plan to wear them as much this summer as I can stand in this Texas heat.

  5. leggings are truly some of my favorite things, especially since I've moved to Europe. I'm living on the island of Cyprus and it's now too hot to even consider leggings...sadly...once fall comes around again, you better believe I'll be in them all the time!
