Dear Leggings,
First off, I want to apologize. For the longest time, I said some unkind things about you. I thought you were a joke. I thought you were for people who “worked out on a regular basis.” I thought you were for people who’d given up on life.
I was wrong. I was so, so wrong.
You entered my life while I was pregnant with my second child, and I quickly realized how wrong I was. I realize how misguided I was.
I am so sorry. So, so, sorry.
You’re always there for me. Whether I’m at home lounging around, if I’m taking a nap, if I’m running around with the kids, if I’m doing school dropoff, or even if I need to run errands… you are there. You are soft, you are comfortable, and you are there. No. Matter. What.
I can dress you up to make it look like I’m trying. The right pair of leggings + the right tunic or dress = FANCY.
I can dress you down to look casual. The right pair of leggings + a lace extender and a cardigan = COOL, BUT NOT TRYING TOO HARD.
I can even roll home from doing #allthethings and hop right into bed and you are there for me in every way.
If I’ve been eating too many girl scout cookies, you hug my curves and tell me I’m #flawless. If I’ve been working out regularly and feeling fine you say, “Hey girl, those glutes look gooooooood!”
Sure, some people might make fun of you or be all #haterade towards you… and to you I say, THEY DON’T KNOW YOU LIKE I KNOW YOU. They’ll come around. Don’t you worry.
Love,
Me
I love how you styled these leggings!
I used to hate leggings too. I still won’t wear them with a regular shirt, but with a tunic they are PERFECT!!! Especially since becoming a mom jeans have become so uncomfortable. Do you have any tips on shopping for affordable, comfy leggings? Lularoe is outside of my budget and I hate the idea of having to rush to claim a pair before they are gone (going to an actual store to try them on would be my top choice since I’m tall and leggings tend to run short on me). Cute outfit!!!
Have you tried Agnes & Dora? I love their leggings! Also I would try second hand stores / groups! 🙂
I went on their website and the page for their leggings says no products available. 😔 I’ll have to check back sometime.
Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll need to remember this next time I’m out thrifting!
so they aren’t sold online through their website – it’s through facebook groups similar to LulaRoe (BUT the difference is that they aren’t limited like LulaRoe) 🙂 check out my friend Erica’s group – she is AWESOME and super helpful! https://www.facebook.com/groups/AgnesandDorabyEricaA/
Ohhhh, okay!!! Thank you for explaining! Request has been sent to join the group!
Love you and your blog, by the way! It has been such an encouragement to me since I found it a few months ago! <3
YES! Preach sister. I can’t live without my leggings. The plaid A&D ones are super cute, I’ve had my eye on a similar pair!
