Blacked Out

What?! Are those leggings...worn as...PANTS? Yes, I went there. In fact I like going there quite often. I think as long as your front and behind bits are covered up with a top it's all good and decent. I bought this ribbed shiny pair that Jane Fonda would approve of a few years ago and only until recently did I start really wearing them. They're great for night and is a way to add different texture to an all black outfit.

Leather jacket from Korea, American Apparel tank and leggings, Opening Ceremony booties, Chanel bag, Rayban Wayfarers, Pamela Love necklace

  3. I've never minded leggings as pants... I HATE when girls wear them under skirts, I don't know why it bugs me so much. This outfit is great, I love shiny leggings!

  8. And I thought I was the only one who was crazy to think that the front and rear should be covered when wearing leggings!

  9. I think the whole trick is you need good legs for leggings-as-pants...and you have them. These look amazing, love the black-out look. Beautiful as always girl!

  19. You look great and I do agree with the others. Leggins are ok as long as you wear a tunic or long top. I wear this combo all the time.

  22. I am guilty of wearing leggings as pants. I do not like seeing people wearing skirts or dresses over leggings, I think that looks weird. Black shinny lycra leggings are my favorite.

  28. Hi Frances!
    I found your blog via your interview on Feather Factor, and I must say... I love your style!

    I noticed that in your interview, you said that your most prized fashion accessories were your Chanel bags and Cartier Love bracelet. Both great answers! But it got me wondering what were your splurges that you ended up regretting?

    Anyway, I'm a new fan of your blog! Keep the posts coming! :-)

  29. @Just browsing Thanks for the comment. I guess the only splurge regret that comes to mind is my YSL Easy bag in brown leather. I always forget I own it and I ended up not being a fan of the color. I still love the shape though.

  35. a reasonable Coach Factory Outlet suspicion that the arrested person had contraband,were Chanel Bags more intrusive than being observed while showering,public health and information about gang affiliations.

  36. Depending upon the type of cheap christmas gifts you choose, whether it is a cheap, plastic wristwatch or an expensive, gold timepiece, swiss rolex can have a serious effect on your overall style. cheap prada handbags is not only a practical accessory to wear on your wrist in order to keep track of time; cheap chanel handbags can also complement your look and lift your confidence.
