So, lots of bloggers have lamented the decline of women's pants and make leggings the object of scorn and derision for Ladies Who Carpool and/or Exercise Over the Age of 18.
There's this:
And this:
Well, there were A LOT of leggings this Sunday at my place of worship... so much so that I wanted to text another "Are They Pants?" Enthusiast to discuss. I have no pants-stones to throw as I own two pairs of jeggings (though actual denim) and one pair of leggings that I wear in public.
My own legging/jegging philosophy is that they are best to wear with a dress or mini-dress or a looong tunic that does the high-low number with a few good inches draping below your private business.
Which brings me to my newest clothing finds:
d.jeans Sexy High Waist Jean
I got these today at TJMaxx for $17 and they are both skinny and high waisted in the best sense. These are the jeans for any woman who does not have a 26.2 sticker on her vehicle but still wants to wear her tall boots without forsaking brownies or modesty. I'm very excited. They are super comfortable.
Also, I found some NYDJ (Not Your Daughter's Jeans) in a skinny cut. The ankle is not quite skinny enough for a tall boot, but they fit very nicely if you like a natural waist style. I believe they go up to size 16. They retail for a bit more (around the $100 mark) so I decided to go ahead and get them for $40 at TJMaxx. I wear jeans almost everyday, and even though it makes me worry that my fashion sense has not evolved enough, it's what I like to wear most days. I have another pair in this brand in a soft trouser pant style and I've heard good things about their jeans, so I think I'll be pleased.
NYDJ Samantha Skinny (Mine are last season so these are the closest to what I got)
I hope these finds bless you on your quest for pants-that-are-pants-you-can-wear-with-cute-shoes-and-breezy-blouses. Praise the Lord and pass the Lycra reinforcement.
