As the Leaves Fall

Thankfully the weather has turned more towards fall and less towards summer, although I still saw people wearing shorts and t-shirts today. (P.S. To everyone who doesn't live in the South...it is a requirement as of November 1 to wear pants and at least a light jacket.) I wasn't feeling jeans today, and it was too windy to wear any of my dresses, so I opted for my maxi skirt. As I predicted, it has been a staple in my wardrobe. I can wear it on warm days since it is breezy and I can wear it on cold days with leggings underneath. Today I even went so far as to wear Uggs under it, which made for the most comfortable day ever for my feet. I love this look because it's so versatile. When winter actually does come, all I have to do is whip on some thicker leggings and a sweater and I'm ready to go! All I have to say is; snow? Bring it on.

Leggings as Pants...?

Since when has it been okay to not wear pants? This new trend, wearing leggings as pants just doesn't cut it for me. It was okay when leggings were worn under long t-shirts or dresses as a way to cover your legs, but as pants? Not so much. Even girls that have gorgeously toned and trimed thighs can't seem to pull this off. Leggings pull and tug at your legs and make it seem like you have flabby legs even if you don't. Most girls that wear this trend insist on wearing it with boots and an almost-butt-covering sweatshirt. This may be okay for the gym, but not for public use. Although this is a style that I see all over, I refuse to participate in this widely unattractive new trend.
