just say no

sometimes, the fashion industry does strange things. and yes, fashion is all about taking risks and doing whatever you want, but i've got serious suspicions about the reinstatement of: jeggings.

jeggings: noun; leggings that are made to look like jeans, but are tight enough to hug every tendon in your legs, much like the classic legging. Includes trompe l'oeil pockets, but a very real button and zipper to emphasize the 50/50 split of jeans merged with leggings.

have i ever wanted my jeans to hug/show off my knees? no. has anyone? hm. maybe? but really. this is not okay. i feel like jeggings are part of an evil cycle that many an older housewife end up in. first, you start off young, maybe dressing cool, taking chances. then, you say, forget it! i want to be comfy, i love leggings, they're kinda hip right? i'll just start wearing them under things instead of pants, or tights. then, you find jeggings. and it skews your mind. and you think, yea, they're so comfy, they'll always fit, and it looks like jeans so i can wear them like jeans with my buttocks out. and you apply this thought to all leggings. and then you're the lady i see in the grocery store wearing an oversized garfield shirt, crocs, and leggings.

you've been warned.
