Leggings As Pants

There seems to be a heated debate circulating around the fashion world about whether or not a person can pull off wearing leggings as pants. I'll admit, I've seen a lot of great arguments for both sides of the issue, but I'm going to have to side with those people who say it's acceptable to wear leggings as pants. To provide you with adequate proof, I will demonstrate a way to wear leggings as pants with pictures.

Well, it's rainy today so the sundress I was considering was completely out of the question. Instead, I decided to wear a dark blue blouse from New York and Company with my yellow sweater from Old Navy. Along with the blouse and sweater, I wore a pair of basic black leggings and my rain boots.

Here is a picture of my polka dot rain boots with the whole outfit. What do you think? Would you wear leggings as pants or should they be strictly confined to the gym and under dresses/skirts?

How I Wear Scarves

I'm not big into scarf fashion, however, I will wear them occasionally. While searching for pretty items today, I stumbled upon this wonderful stone embellished scarf for $25 from topshop.com. I paired it with a baby doll-type embellished sleeveless shirt, but you could try pairing it with a fitted tan, navy, or black t-shirt instead. I liked the slouchy jeans because it dresses down the outfit without creating a frumpy look. Last, but most certainly not least are the nude shoes with a touch of floral. What do you think? Do you like it or no?

I recently came across this beautiful dress from ModCloth and decided to accessorize it. If I were to buy this dress, I'd try to wear it with an over-sized cardigan or slouchy jacket like the one pictured above. You could also pair the dress with sandals during the spring and summer or tights with boots during the fall and winter.

I don't know about you, but I'm certainly craving warmer weather. April's showers may bring May's flowers, but I just want the sunshine to make an appearance! Alas, I'll just have to settle with creating cute summer outfits to match my wishful thinking. What do you think of the candy striped shirt and brown sandals? Simplicity and cuteness. What more could you need?

Not too Girly

This girly outfit offers the perfect amount of femininity without going overboard. The addition of the powder blue flat and turquoise handbag act to draw the outfit together.
