shhh, leggings

Being a grown up woman now I feel that I shouldn't be writing about leggings, I shouldn't have leggings, I shouldn't wear them. There is something adolescent and tasteless about leggings.

I really like leggings. They fit hair metal frontier. I like to wear them underneath skirts and dresses. I like exciting leggings, I really wanted the grey suede ones that they had last year in topshop. I went to look for some to put on here and couldn't find that many that I liked. I dont like black leggings very much but maybe the ones here are ok because they are exciting.

Right, these are woollen, oaty ones from princesse tam tam and navy ones from humanoid (I have an open cardigan thing from humanoid which is really lovely, was in the sweaty betty sale you see)



Velvet ones, with panels from jean paul gaultier and the ones that spurred me to do this post, grey velvet from gestuz. I'm going to sneekily get them when Ralph's not looking.



Grey-ish-feature ones, with buttons all the way but £200 future classics, acid wash and cheap from new look and churidar with ankle buttons from toast (I have these in orange, they fall down so please if the toast people are reading this can you make some kind of stretch jersey panel at the top to keep them up? I do still love them but they could be more functional and you wouldn't see under a dress)



Leather and suede, hmmm mmmm, crazy designer numbers. Heres me wishing I spent the hundreds on the topshop ones!? Leather pair from dna, glazed ones from haider ackermann and stretch leather from helmut lang.



AND THESE ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITES, PLEASE COULD I HAVE A PAIR?
Haider Ackermann



I did want to justify this all with some nice pictures of people from the olden days from far away places, to add some cultural context. Didn't see any yet.
How about this instead, its relevent...
