Anatomy of an Outfit: Shiny Leggings

AnatomyLeggings

I used to shun black and white but lately I can't get enough of it. The older I get the more muted my wardrobe gets yet I still tend to shock people (in a good way) with the pieces I wear. Like these shiny black leggings. I bought these last season at Target (they're quick on the trends, I tell you) and when I'd wear them to work the president of the company always commented on how I looked like I was going to kick his ass.

I hope if there ever is some sort of zombie apocalypse I'm wearing an outfit like this. I think I really would embrace the end of the world and kick more ass and survive a little longer if I was properly outfitted like a bad ass. Or I'd just develop a wicked yeast infection on Day 2, feel sorry for myself and let a zombie eat my brain.

you have GREAT legs!!! i'm fully jealous.

Word!

This is the perfect example of putting together unassuming elements to produce an evokative whole!

I love it. I would never think to put those pieces together. It's classy and risque at the same time. Perfect. And slimming.

And THE BOOTS. You know I'm in love with those boots.

I love this outfit. Those boots are A-mazing.

hahahahaa!

This is kickass perfection.

Merci,

haaaa! tell it like it is woman...tell it like it is.

That is definitely one hot ass-kicking outfit.

So I wore a sheer blue shirt [thrifted.. from the lingere section.. I'm pretty sure I remembered to wash it before I wore it the first time] over a dark sports bra and high waisted skinnies to Ikea on Monday. The sports bra is my go-to when I need to squish the girls down a little, and not look quite so slutty when wearing sheer apparel. However, I might as well have been going sans any boob coverage/support based on the looks I was getting. Although the nice grandma complimented my boots after I held open the bathroom door for her..

moral of the story.. shocking people never goes out of style, and thank GOD for that.

those leggings kick ass. and yes, i totally noticed your cleavage. hella sexy.

very fun writing and yes, i love black, black and white, black and gray ... yada yadaaaa ....

you look very amazing! xx

these look amazing and I love how you paired them... even more so how you put a stitch seam to put them together. You amaze me!
