lack of something to write about
So this year has been odd. Normally I feel like I don’t have enough time to put down my thoughts but lately I feel like I don’t have any thoughts to write down. It is so odd for me… sooooo I decided to just give an opinion here that a few people that know me understand my strong feelings…
leggings are not pants
I just have to express my feelings about this new “trend”. It is one of the most frustrating things that I have to deal with! I am sorry but leggings in no shape or form should ever be worn without something over them in some way. The current thing I have noticed is the “athletic” look that the wearers are going for. To my understanding, there is no way that leggings look athletic? Especially if the person who is wearing them is not exactly the most fit person. I also know that college students are going for the laid back look but honestly it just looks like you forgot pants…or you lost them? I don’t know but its just wrong.
Now you are probably thinkin, “you are just hating cuz you can’t pull them off.” No, no thats not it at all, actually my butt is not in bad shape at all I just have modesty. I like to leave something to the imagination, which this peace of clothing doesn’t really do much of. The thing is when girls wear these without something over them they tend to hug and show every nook and cranny of the body. Fellow females, this is not flattering and the fact someone didn’t tell you that is a little messed up. Uh, its just wrong, sideways and awkward…The worst I have seen lately…the see-through leggings or oh oh oh the worst, the white leggings! ah! I don’t want to see that much! Only the sketch-ball guys who SHAMELESSLY check the girls out are enjoying that. Girls? Do you really want to present yourself that way and give the guys a free viewing? Do you have no respect for yourselves? None, at all? I will just not understand why.
Now, leggings are not totally useless. I do think they have a purpose in this world. Don’t through them away just yet, maybe try a few of these…
- Under athletic shorts: How about wearing a cute pair of shorts, that might even normally be a little too short, over top of them? You could even get a little color crazy. For example, you could wear a cute grey pair of shorts with a nice dark pair of pink leggings. It is a little eighties but also the athletic look you are going for! You can even ACTUALLY workout in that look.
- Under a cute short dress: You know lately the style of dresses that our being sold are quite short. I know for a fact that my hiney is not covered as well as I would like and to make some one feel a little more comfortable why not throw on a pair of leggings that cute new dress you picked up. The thing is you have to be careful about that, you don’t want awkward butt cheek hanging out there either.
- Under shredded blue jeans: I noticed once a girl was putting her leggings to good use. Her jeans looked a little worn out and she worn them underneath to keep fill in the holes. I have actually considered that a few times, but my jeans don’t have enough holes in them…yet.
- Under a long tunic/shirt: You know you have that long shirt that doesn’t quite look right with any pair of pants you have because it drops below the butt so try it with leggings. They are not quite pants but they make the shirt look a little less bulky.
- Use them to dress up a look: This about how you want dress up a look. Leggings can dress up a longer dress or skirt to make more of a night look. Throw on a pair of hills and you are good to go.
- Now last but not least…maybe a little far fetched…Wear them for a costume: Everyone wants to play a super hero! Superman, Wonderwoman. They could work in multiple ways and for all people! Pull on your leggings and add a colored pair of underwear and you have a super hero costume. You could go as one of the popular ones or even make up your own! Get creative!
Alright, enough ranting about what totally disturbs me. haha. Please Please Please have respect for yourselves ladies! Wear some pants!
