Do I or Don’t I? Leggings…
June 13, 2008
Now that La Lohan is designing her own line of leggings [I know, what the eff?] it would seem that this would be the final death knell in the briefly lived strain of leggings. I do recall, circa 2005? 2006? Erie’s and my utter elation [I am not using this word lightly, either] that leggings were finally an acceptable thing to wear, and I don’t think I ever overdid it [oh, who am I kidding. I know I'm the Queen of Overkill] but even though there is no sight more abhorrent than the jean-skirt-over-black-leggings-with-Uggs and I’ve largely replaced leggings with opaque tights for my short dress needs, I still, umm, kindof love them?
Like, right now I own 3-4 unitards, one pair of AA gold lamé leggings, one pair of AA vegas leggings, one pair of AA KELLY GREEN leggings, etc. etc. etc. Do I just toss them into the Salvation army bin? Or are they still salvageable? Maybe I need to just keep these around for a wack-a-doo party outfit.
Also, the amount of wack-a-doo party outfits I own far outnumbers my amount of practical clothing items. SORRY I’M NOT SORRY. My kids are going to have the best dress-up trunk someday.

I was JUST thinking about this. Esp. when I see some not cool ladies trolling around Seattle in them. The big question is – if we ban them, what takes their place? Tights? Kind of been there done that already. PANTYHOSE? Could that ever be a trend outside of my mom’s closet? Or are we back to pants/skirts/shorts unlayered?

I mean, I am not giving them up quite yet. I want to wear them under boots in the winter and pretend they are tights, and wear them as pajamas and convince myself that they’re less unsexy than the sweatpants I’d be wearing otherwise. Oh — also — did I tell everyone that the missus and I are moving in together? I’m cooking up a post about needing ideas for what to wear to bed with him…
