Color and Style in 2013
Let’s face it and be honest. Style and me don’t really go together. When I was teaching I wore jeans and a t-shirt almost every day (it was a school shirt and okayed….and I taught chemistry and ruined clothes).
Now that I work from I just don’t dress up and often days hang out in yoga pants. But I’m working on it.
See, just this December I’ve done jeggings with boots (here and when I met Marlon Wayans) and bright, bright bright tights with a skirt and shirt. I’m trying.
Just this fall, I was telling Mr. Serious I felt like my life was missing some colorful tights. I’m not sure I had a color in mind, but it wasn’t quite this color. Almost a Grinchy-yellow. I guess par for the holiday course. There are, however, other color options that are a little more me. But, I did step out of my comfort zone a bit, and pretty sure that’s what style is about, right?
The jeggings were very comfy (however, definitely a size too big…hence the super baggy knee section). The tights, however, were super comfortable with a control top for the momma midsection. They didn’t sag and stayed in place really well. Both pairs are surprisingly made by No nonsense tights and leggings. I had no idea they made leggings which is nice because they are super affordable and more importantly easy to find at food and drug stores as well as mass retailer stores (I don’t want to go on a tights hunt).

Look at you all stylish! *ahem I’m currently in jeans and a t-shirt*
Thanks..it doesn’t happen too often:)
Look at you, rockin the yellow! Lol. Glad to know that the quality and comfort is there, and that they have a bunch of other colors to choose from. I live in my yoga pants, and I and SO fashion challenged. I like simple ways to dress up an outfit, so I’ll be checking these out for sure!
Yes, they are very, very comfortable! I’m just not quite so sure about the yellow. I like my jewel tones, but not quite this far!
WHOOOO those are YELLOOOOW! I’m not fashion forward enough to make thouse work!!!
Oh, you could have rocked them!
Super cute! I need to check those out for myself!
Yes, you should:) I’d go for something a little less loud, but that’s me:)
I love the new colors like eggplant and teal. I have a rule which helps me…it involves stepping back and squinting to see which parts of an outfit or accessories jump out. It helps me tell when I’ve gone too far…or too bland.
The nice thing about tights is that they help everyone look a little more pulled together.
Yes, the teal is more up my alley! I’m sure the yellow is too far for me!
I just love the word jeggings and look at those tights! How fun!
It is a fun word, isn’t it?
You look so tiny!
You are tooo sweet! I’ve been doing the my fitness pal food logging thing since October. Now I just need to start working out.
Only a certain handful of people can pull off those yellow tights…..there aren’t many! You look adorable in the jeggings though. I need to get a pair of those for boot-wearing.
So, are you saying I didn’t pull them off? Eh..I didn’t think so.
I would suggest sizing down on the jeggings:)
I think the yellow is pretty! It would be stepping out of my comfort zone too! Way to take a risk! Thanks!
Thanks…it’s an okay color…just not for me, I guess:)
I never would have thought to look for these at Rite Aid or Kroger! Thanks for the store finder link. I’ll check them out sometime. Maybe not Grinchy Yellow, though 😉
Sure thing. I’ve found myself at Walgreens before with a run in my tights/hose on the way to an event..I went with black, though:)
I am scared of leggings, simply because I am a bigger girl! but…I would love to get a longer dress and wear some tights under it with boots. Very cute shade of yellow though, perfect pick me up for the winter blahs!
Oh, leggings aren’t pants…never for me. Always under something covering the booty:)
