Leggings: A Follow-Up

My last post was all about leggings and how I don't understand most of their uses.  One of those, although I only briefly mentioned it, was leggings worn solely as pants.

Addendum: I have been converted.  Sorta.  Almost.

My mom and I went shopping earlier this week.  Mom had been out a couple weeks ago looking for clothes for a business trip to Florida with my dad, but this time, we were looking for more wintry, keep-me-warm clothes.  I'm a huge fan of sweaters, so that was my mission.

We ventured to White House Black Market at the mall, and we seriously hit the jackpot.  I found a glittery tank top and a gold cardigan that I can't wait to wear (possibly together?), and Mom found a good pair of jeans.

Then I found a really pretty gray oversized (but still classy) sweater.  I've never worn oversized sweaters, but it looked comfortable even on the mannequin, so I had to at least try it on.  I loved it.  It looked cute with my skinny jeans, so I figured that was all I needed.  But then the sales lady helping Mom and me said, "Hold tight...let me bring you some leggings."  I was hesitant, but when she brought me a pair of Instantly Slimming Leggings, I tried them on and...oh my goodness.

Best decision ever. 

I can't wait to wear this outfit for our Thanksgiving get-together tomorrow.  I think it'll go well with my new pair of Steve Madden combat boots, too!

And then I'll be able to offer a more complete opinion of the whole "leggings as pants" discussion.  But I think I might be converted.
