Ugh. And I agree! I will wear leggings as long as my butt is not bared! I just dont think its flattering on anyone... Also, I dont know about San Fran so much, bu in LA its HUGE. I really think thats wear the leggings-as-pants really took place, and EXPLODED. SoCal style now, for sure. The leggings thing is definitely big here in Minneapolis too. Ugh. And I agree!

I keep seeing women in leggings that really look a lot more like pantyhose. I saw one woman outside Penn station in black "leggings" that were stretched so tightly across her rear that you could see straight through them. Hrrrrrm.... TMI, imo.

The fashion mags keep telling us other stuff is in and leggings are out, but everybody just keeps wearing them, just like Ugg boots.

On trend that I have noticed recently is that beards are back in a big way. I've even seen a few guys wearing moustaches, and am keeping my fingers crossed that that doesn't take off completely. Thankfully my parter is not a fan of facial hair either, but I've already told him that if he ever tries to grow anything, I'll spike his drink with sleeping pills, so I can shave it all off while he's sleeping. I agree with caroline about the descriptions without pictures (the one of the funny face girl in particular took my fancy). It's a lesson for all bloggers (myself included)!

Since the first time I saw Audrey Hepburn in 'Funny Face',(many, many years ago!) I have been thinking about her in that 'dowdy' jumper she's wearing in the bookstore! I designed one myself, buttons down the front or slip-over the head, I have even sewed one or two! She is the coolest beatnik of that era, and the epitome of chic, especially in the 'Before' part of the movie! Hey Tricia,

So funny and SO true about the leggings (also in sydney, australia) I think it's acceptable as long as it looks like you're making SOME kind of effort to cover half..by half I mean top half of bum :). I agree with caroline about descriptions without photos. Your words paint pretty pictures! I love this post! So funny and SO true about the leggings (also in sydney, australia)

Maybe it's that the internet is so overloaded with images...but it's nice to have the description alone and let my brain do the imagining. Very good stuff.

I always enjoy reading what you have to say about trends and styles . .. that bit about the skinny jean trend turning into a leggings-as-pants one is especially interesting and really makes sense! Though I'm with you . . . I'd feel naked with just a little shirt and a pair of leggings. I love this post too!

Brutal. And lots of too-thin leggings at that! Great idea for a column by the way, can't wait for the next entry. xSara Leggings as pants are HUGE in Toronto too. Brutal.

I personally despise how wearing leggings alone looks! I too wear leggings, however, they are always under a skirt/dress....I also have recently been wanting to get a pair of brightly colored clogs.
