Milkmaids and Jeggings

Hi there!

Today I am admitting to purchasing jean leggings otherwise known as "jeggings." I did not come about the decision to purchase these "jeggings" easily. Many a time I was seconds away from purchasing the Hue version in a smattering of colors. However, each and every time I put them back on the rack. Well as some of you might know, Anthropologie was having a sale on the Joe's version. They are thicker and more jean-like that their cheaper counterparts. I managed to find them in my size and in the color I coveted! I did not try them on in the store. I was too afraid of humiliation. I wanted to be home in case these "jeggings" made me legs look like sausages and the muffin top look like something from Costco. If this were the case, I could swiftly replace them with my most comfortable and camouflaging sweatpants. Luckily, my thighs are not too sausage-esque and my self image is still intact. I was reminded today why, as a third grader, "jeggings" were my pants of choice. Although I am pretty sure those were of the acid washed variety . . . 

What do you think of the "jegging" trend/craze?

If you are already sporting them, what is you favorite way to wear them for spring?

You Wore What?

Hi there!
The Daily Dress Up 
1/20/10



I am very tired of winter! In fact, I am so tired of winter that I bought a yellow purse on Monday! That will show you, Jack Frost! In truth, I can't complain. It hasn't rained in two days, and I didn't have to wear leg warmers yesterday!

This is a taste of what I wore to work today. I spent about an hour (ridiculous!!) trying to find something to wear. Maybe it is my pasty skin tone, or maybe I just want to wear sweat pants and be under my down comforter. Who knows . . . Or maybe I am pining of this absurdly adorable belt my friend Meghan bought this weekend.

In any case, Happy Wednesday!
