I thought the leggings dilemma was finished when I found these cream colored leggings and wore them for Thanksgiving.
I wasn't overly thrilled that they were really loose and gave me elephant knees, but I thought they'd do just fine.
And they did for Thanksgiving. When I mostly sat.
When I wore them to school on a day that I made a million trips to the computer lab and had lunch duty too, I did nothing but fight with those leggings by the end of the day. The crotch was almost to my knees all afternoon. The very reason I won't wear tights is because of the low hanging afternoon crotch.
Lesson learned. I won't wear them to school again.
So, I was back to square one with a sweater dress and no proper leggings.
And the internet helped confirm that going bare legged really isn't an option.
And then I found these.
Upon first taking them from the package, I was afraid they might be too loose, particularly after the cream leggings episode. They are pretty floppy and almost more like yoga pants. They shrunk a little in the wash and I when I locked them in with my boots, they proved to be far better than the cream pair. I wore them with glee all day and then some.
I'm still not thrilled with the color of the boots even though I thought I loved them when I bought them. They are also slightly big, which I hadn't realized and not super comfortable like Born shoes usually are. I think a gel insert might solve that, though. And I'm excited that after a couple of months of wearing this thing, I can wear boots again and be happy.
And I think I'm wearing too many shades of brown. This sweater does nothing for me but I continue to think it's a great outfit. It's comfortable and not itchy, a major plus. But it draws way too much attention to the boobolas. It looks like I had implants done overnight , a look I never go for.
So, I'll probably wear this outfit to death this winter and then I'll never want to see the sweater again.
You're pulling it off girl!
