    Robin, I just wear any shoes I want with my skirt and leggings. i kind of bunch the socks down so they aren't too high.







    I wear flip flops or Teva sandals, or keen sandals with short socks too.

    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.

    Im 41 and I LOVE leggings! Nothing better to wear little short skirts and cover up my spider veins( too much retail work/standing).
    I have a dress that looks like a 1960s smock( or maternity dress!) that looks cute with mine and engineer boots.
    I also wear them with any dress I own, plus ballet flats or long boots if its cold.
    Nicely, if I change at gym, when I ride to work and then put on work clothes for the short ride to work, it looks like cycling togs.

    Oh and any lady who rides, despite her weight, is going to look good in leggins. I mean even if you have a big booty, your calves will be superb and legs toned.
    Ive seen some pretty large ladies riding in tight winter longs and they still had nice legs.

    BUt acid washed jeans and NO NO NO to leggins printed like denim, eww! The goth in me revolts!

    Leggings have been in fashion in NZ's for years... acutally I suspect that we're still riding the fashion wave from when they were in last time

    ooh poofy ruffles!

    ooh poofs! sign me up!! I love madonnas dress!!

    To go on a plane today , I am wearing ( no joke) a pair of black plastic pants with chartreuse piping down side, a skirt made of tent fabric, black and chartreuse over it( with big side pockets in the same colour) and a tank top with a big cut out edged in chartreuse plastic!
    My husband took one look at the c lothes( dance party stuff) and said, it looks like cycling gear for off the bike! I said, Im sick of trying to look normal and its boreing!! He agreed, and said girls are lucky, they can get away with it.I have to be a rock star or something, to do that!
