Jordan and I were on our honeymoon in Scotland. We had some time to kill at a bus station in Edinburgh. Thankfully, the station was next to a coffee shop, which lent itself perfectly for people-watching, one of our favorite activities. Jordan and I snorted into our lattes at the fashion-forward girls, in their loose blouses and leggings.
"Don't they know leggings aren't pants? That they're meant to be worn underneath dresses and skirts?" we whispered to each others. I would never be so foolish as to make such a ridiculous fashion choice!
Well, laugh it up, me from the past. Because this summer, I've joined their ranks.
Shirt: Goodwill
Belt: H&M
Leggings: Kohl's
Sandals: Hand-me-downs
Now, in my defense, this shirt is long enough to cover my butt. And while this style choice may be six years behind, it's so darn comfy! I mean, the shirt is like a big, loose night-shirt! And leggings have so much stretch.
So, my apologies to the girls of Edinburgh. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to see the light. (Though I still would never wear a short shirt with leggings!)
Have you ever worn an item of clothing you swore you wouldn't?
LOVE LOVE. I wear this style all the time. But I always cover my crouch. I think the leggings with shirt thing if NOT covering the crouch area looks like gym wear.
ReplyDeleteYou look great!
I think I may have realized this before, but you would have been in Edinburgh when I lived there! Small world. I much prefer a shirt to cover my butt a little, then to let it all hang out with leggings. I saw a girl rocking black leggings with a chambray button up (like not a long one) and she looked so cute, but I feel weird about letting my backside get so much, er, air.
ReplyDeleteYour shirt looks long enough to be a tunic, rather than a blouse, which means (in my book) it's perfectly acceptable when paired with opaque leggings. Semi-opaque are best with undisputably-skirts-or-dresses, in my opinion. But you totally work it. = )
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back here! It's been awhile.
You look adorbs in leggings and a tunic!!! I think leggings can be pants- depending on how they're paired/styled! I need to know more about this shoes, they look so cute and comfy!
ReplyDeleteI think that shirt is long enough to pair with leggings, though I've seen many that aren't! The fashion trend I said I'd never wear is skinny jeans--I stuck to it for years...then I decided that I looked good in them.
ReplyDeleteI like the look!
ReplyDeleteI wear leggings (always butt covered) and skinny jeans (bordering on jeggings)....two thing the past me would never wear.
