ke like Edie, feel free to go out in your plan black legumes- because contrary to popular belief, you're not doing anything wrong. I mean, you're hardly walking around with just you're knick-knacks on are you? Its not like everything isn't sufficiently covered. And we can draw the line between leggings and stockings because, come on, they're not the same thing- consider it this way, you wouldn't wear a sheer nylon t-shirt, but you'd wear a stretch cotton one, See?? Pants. Just a few tips though, as it probably goes without saying, dress to suit your body type, make the judgement of whether or not this is a look that's flattering for you, also, if you're wearing leggings on their own, be sure to check what you look like from the back- VPL (visible panty line) is so deeply unattractive... Have fun with it...xx

Leggings are Pants
WeLl....In my opinion leggings, or legumes as I like to call them, are and will always be pants. This seems to be an all take sides debate worthy of Team Jolie-Team Aniston, the paper's meant to hang OVER, no it's meant to hang UNDER- or maybe even Edward vs. Jacob. Are they or are they not to be considered pants? Should we be outraged if a girl wears her black leggings out with a regular sized t-shirt, should they remain an under garment to wear beneath a casual dress or baggy top 80s style? Well, I think we get the best of both worlds, more option and choice of style, if we just get over it and classify them as pants. Why CREATE a wardrobe restriction?? Consider them pants and we get to wear them under long tops OR short ones. Let's all make like Edie, feel free to go out in your plan black legumes- because contrary to popular belief, you're not doing anything wrong.

Edie
Edie Sedgwick.You'll hear me talk about her a lot. LOve hER!
Andy Warhol's muse, her story's pretty tradge. Typical, too much sex drugs and- factory living.
Well miss Edie embodies what I love about the 60s. It's hands down the decade I'd live in, ya know, if you could chose. Well, Edie was the ultimate live free die hard, fashion icon. She'd walk the streets in black stockings, a cropped tee and heels, add some statement earrings, not to mention HEAVY eye make up and thats that. The crazy, free spirited way she dressed echoed how she lived. I love going out when you know you're making a bit of a statement, and Edie did this every time- effortlessly too. (For extra Edie watch Factory Girl. I own it. It's a biopic about her life, stars Sienna Miller-one of my modern fashion faves. It's a bit of a dramatization, but you get the idea, and the wardrobe's great.) I love playing with Edie's style, not to the extreme, obviously, I do think it's a bit costume and tacky when people completely emulate someone's style, but still, in the realm of leggings, which I do consider to be pants (see various points in the 60s 80s and 90s if you disagree- we've done it before, we'll do it again) and cute mod style tops look awesome. Also her way of doing make up was extremely gorge. Striking- she'd go nuts on the eyeliner, but she'd pull it off during the day. I confess I'm not game enough for that, but still, one day perhaps.
