So, I guess I am the only one who would get cold wearing ballet flats with leggings? Like there's that little area around the lower calves/ankle/top of foot that has bare skin. Can't imagine that when it's even 45 out.
Guess I am a wimp.

Oh please no! I couldn't wear this look in the 80's when I was a teenager - I sure as hell can't pull it off now. Damn that leggings and big sweater look!

Pat Benetar is baaaaaaack! I, for one, have a MUCH better body now than I did in the 80s. So bring it on. I'm 42, uh, I mean 41.
But I still prefer jeans.
Me too (or I will by January). But large legs and a tiny waist are not flattered by a look like the one above, no matter how fit I am! :pQuote:

I have the Sweetest Thing Capri. It's fun to wear!

Truthfully, those are better than 'leggings'. Better fit and quality of the material is much higher.Quote:

I wear flip flops or Teva sandals, or keen sandals with short socks too.
Lisa, you should model for Sheila Moon. :-)
agree with Susan for Lisa's outfit.
That capri-skort combo looks interesting. Useful for some folks.
Photo from 7 yrs. ago. I had and wore spandex jeans-leggings. Yes, unbelievable. Found them in a bargain basement place. Must have worn them for 3 years or so...often for commuting purposes and changed at work.
shootingstar, you look great! I like those jeansish leggings for cycling around town. For a while in the 80s-90s, it was the rage to wear spandex cycling shorts that were printed to look like denim jeans, complete with fake pockets. I never got into that (some pro team had them). But for commuting long pants, that's okay.
Lots of tights/leggings. We look mahvelous

More ideas..can be adapted for cycling:
http://www.myshape.com/casual-wear/l...n-outfits/72/5 use small arrow buttons to go forward-backward to see other outfit combinations that include leggings. Price tag is kinda unreal for some pieces. But good for stylish ideas and how to wear certain types of pieces.

Hey, maybe pouffy bloomer shorts will come back in style. Well, ok...at least for ...Hallowe'en. :D
This would explain part of our new dress code at work. It expressly forbids the sweater + legging combination, and I was thinking why do we need to outlaw something that went out of fashion 20 years ago? Now I understand!
Lisa, I think the socks look better with the capri length (which on me would be at my mid calf!) than with full length leggings. A tall person can pull it off a bit better. I have to pay a little more attention to proportions and how many lines I have going across my short body. As soon as I find a long sweater, I will buy the leggings and figure out the shoes.
