(I should be working right now or at least eating lunch, so I'll keep this brief...)


Much better bloggers and much more fashion oriented bloggers than I have commented on the issue of leggings. I think the common phrase is "leggings are not pants." I haven't had too much issue with this because if people want to follow stupid fashion trends, hopefully they won't mind my laughing at them. Please feel free to laugh at me for that horrible big bangs phase in middle school.


When I was in 5th grade, I regularly wore leggings (or spandex pants as I knew them) to school. It wasn't until sometime in the middle of the school year that my teacher so kindly and gently (sarcasm here) informed my 5th grade self that if I didn't wear longer shirts, people would be able to see my pantyline. I didn't quite understand what that meant or why it was bad, but I understood from her tone that it was something very, very bad.


So I stopped wearing leggings and I don't wear them now. Sometimes I'll wear tights under skirts/dresses, sometimes it is those feetless ones. But if others want to wear leggings as pants, go right ahead. Or at least until the girl I saw walking on campus today.


Blue, shiny, and skin tight leggings with a sweatshirt that only came to her waist. Everything was on display and it was blue and shiny. This is not a good look. At least wear black and definitely don't wear shiny. And I don't want to be the teacher who tells you this in the wrong way, but do you really want people seeing your pantyline AND all of your other bits?
