The things we do for blogs

I'm a giver.

Know how I know?

Only someone truly committed to giving back would whip out her camera, while in line for food, to get proof of this:




It's not that I mind leggings. In fact, if I had better legs (hers, for example), I'd probably live in them.

I don't really mind leg warmers, to be honest. Okay, I think they're a little dumb if you're not a dancer or just really interested in personal leg warmth, but they're pretty inoffensive.

I don't even mind a black, chunky clog. Though not the most fashionable type of footwear, they're generally quite comfy and go with everything.

However, when you slap it all together and take it to Panera, I will neglect my Frontega every time to snap a photo of that deal.

In other news, my research final is in 3 hours.

I haven't started studying yet, but think I might.

You know, later.

ehh, I'm not a fan of chunky clogs.

and I could take or leave leg warmers. Mostly leave.

---that combo is not very good though.

I am SO bad at studying. I'll just stare at the pages, thinking about anything except the subject. My sympathies to your plight.

PS. I totally wear leggings all the time so I can wear dresses in the winter. I definitely need better legs though.

Glad to see how you are spending your time wisely.

...pause...

I agree. That is ugly.

My next thought is... go study. AND if you think positively, you'll do fine. It always worked for me. ;)

It's the striping that's really confusing me. I want to go sit on the floor by her and examine this whole outfit option.

Horizontal black and white stripes on my legs... not only would I look like an escaped prisoner who managed to rid myself of nearly my entire jumpsuit, I would also look like I had the calves of a cowboy (or a Founding Father... did you know it was fashionable to pad your calves back then?).

Good luck with the studying. I am a little loopy now because I get to teach my third class of the day... :-)

I'm totally that girl with the camera that I whip out any time anything happens. I was pissed that I didn't have it with me today while buying christmas presents.

Meg said...

Ha! I love snapshots like this!!

Brave combination for sure. Glad you snagged a glimpse of it.

Deb said...

And I thought the post was going to be about the wedgie on the left, but I guess that's not so much a style choice as perhaps a mirror issue.

Please go study. I'm sure you don't need to hit the books much, but please crack them open just a little. If you already did that (and I know you didn't, since you just commented on my blog)...But if you are done studying, get off the blogs and rest up for the test. And then kick butt.

Have I told you lately that I love you? I do! You are so funny and smart and clever and creative and interesting and nice and pretty and . . .

Where does it end, Sara? Where does it end?

I'm a high school teacher, and see many fashion faux pas. One I like least is the girls (usually on the heavy side) who wear leggings instead of pants. That means no dress, no shorts, no skirt. Just the leggings and a biggish shirt. Like they're in Flashdance and like they weigh on 110 pounds. SITS sent me by, and I'm glad they did!

Visiting from SITS!
The clogs, I could definitely do without. The leggings, I like the look...when it's right (so, not necessarily in this case!)...and wish (but don't think) I could pull it off. But legwarmers....I LOVE me some legwarmers!! :) Maybe not these particular legwarmers though.

healthy ashley said...

Totally worth what you had to go though to get that photo!

I've definitely pulled a few of those "let me pretend I'm taking a picture of you so I can catch the atrocity behind you!"

I've got a camera, and I'm not afraid!

Becky said...

Clogs and leg warmers should both be banned! At least there are people in this world who are not afraid to go into public looking a little bizarre.

Beth P. said...

This could be on the back page of Glamour Magazine, the do and don't section. Lol. Definitely a don't. All of it.

Gosh--and I cringe when I have to run out without my hair and make-up semi-decent. Makes you wonder what people are thinking sometimes. The leggings are just too much. Didn't they go out in the 80's?

Stopping by from SITS...
Wow, I'm cringing on so many levels. First of all, the mysterious woman with the leggings and leg warmers reminds me of the Wicked Witch of the West. Remember when she was crushed by the house and her legs were sticking out from underneath? LOL The other thing I'm cringing about is the poor woman whose rear end was caught in the camera crossfire. Actually, I'm cringning for myself and hoping to God that noone's ever snapped an unflattering picture of me without my knowledge! Eek!

hehe this made me laugh! I hate when people take too many trends and try to do them all at once, even in design or architecture - it's just a mess!
