Apparently others are hyped up about jeggings too because I called four Targets in my area to score this lovely pair to no avail.

so cute! at $10 no wonder they're sold out at target.com too.

I get on these obsessive clothing kicks, like if I can’t find whatever I’m looking for I’ll be forced to fashion a dress out of paper bags one day. But, as Jesus taught to a large crowd that came to listen to him and admire his beard:  ”Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes…. consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.” (Luke 12:22-31)

Thankfully Jesus didn’t say anything about jeggings in this scripture, so I think I’m off the hook for being temporarily obsessed with this fashion trend I did end up finding a great pair at the same price at WetSeal, which I ordered online because I forgot that they had a store in my local mall- boo for having to pay shipping!

Here are what I love about jeggings so far:

• they are ridiculously comfortable. it’s almost like wearing your pajamas around except you look cute instead of grungy like you just woke up.
• they’re great under boots. skinny jeans often are too tight on the calves under boots, but jeggings give you the look without the pinch.
• you can spend a ton on jeggings as you can on any fashion trend. But will they be around for that long? doubtful. $10 is a reasonable amount to spend on something fun and trendy. these are not a fashion investment.
• you can wear them in multiple seasons- spring when it’s too warm to wear jeans but too cold to go bare-legged with shorts or a skirt, fall or summer with a long sweater.

This is what I haven’t liked:

• The pair from WetSeal have a low-rise waistband. Really? who wants low-rise jeggings? Aren’t they revealing enough with being skin-tight & all? Consequently you need to hike them up every once an awhile.
• They’re skin tight. After all, they are leggings. This limits what you can wear with them unlike skinny jeans which may be tight but not nearly as revealing as jeggings. I do like the look with a long shirt or sweater though.

What fashion trend have you been obsessed with lately? Has anyone else jumped on the jeggings bandwagon? Send me a pic of you looking cute in your jeggings if you have & I’ll post it on a “friday fluff” post about fashion!

neutral leggings with a colored dress or vice versa is so cute!

On another hand, I wonder if there is an age limit for certain types of leggings. I like the look of denim leggings in theory, but I’m not quite sure I like them in reality. I saw some at Target last night at a ridiculously low price, & I’ve been thinking they’d be a nice alternative to wear with boots and a tunic or sweater instead of skinny jeans shoved uncomfortably into boots. I have to admit, I’ve been glad to shuck the boots at the end of a long day and relieve my constricted calves though I’ve never experienced the extent of what experts are now calling skinny jean syndrome. What we’ll do for fashion!

I think a look like this is really cute- modest yet trendy.

For normal people who don’t have a models body, I think this look could work with the right shirt.  But is it just for teeny boppers and celebs? Have any of you rocked denim leggings? What have you paired it with? Do you think there is an age limitation for this trend?

beyonce, rhianna and a host of others rock the denim leggings.

The bad/good part of a cute style like this is it’s really comfortable. One person commented in a product review that she loves wearing denim leggings because they look like jeans but feel like pajamas. This is when fashion can start to go downhill fast and suddenly cute becomes frump.

I think she could have pulled it off with a longer top to cover the booty.

We all have different body types & I think that no matter what size you are, you can look cute. There is no reason to look frumpy because of how much or little you weigh. I think the trick, especially with trendy things like this is to figure out how to make it work for your body type. Personally, I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing denim leggings as pants because it just feels way too revealing and I don’t want to walk around feeling self-conscious all day. But I do think I would wear them under a longer sweater or a tunic style shirt with a pair of boots.

Ladies- (or guys who happen to have a passion for skinny jeans and leggings) what do you think? Trend yay or nay? Will you be buying some denim leggings any time soon? What will you wear them with?
