If Paula Deen can wear leggings, so can I
I wrote a Sunday story about leggings, their popularity and how retailers say they can be great for women of most ages and many sizes. Coincidentally, I was watching foodie Paula Deen Saturday morning and she had on black leggings with a long black tunic. She looked good. She broke up all the black with a white sweater.
I own leggings and I’ve worn them around the house, but I haven’t darted out in public in them yet. I’m not sure why. They’re super comfortable. I don’t think I would look out of place at the grocery store. I would cover up the largest part of my hips with a top that stretches almost to my knees. I would wear flats instead of killer heels.
My daughter loves leggings, and has been embracing them for about four years. I embraced them, too, about 19 years ago. Even wore them to work. I was more trendy then than I am now. Some people like to say if you’ve worn a trend once you shouldn’t wear it second time around. I disagree with that. You wear it differently. Maybe you wear a different style. With leggings, college students are going to wear print leggings, even metallic. I’m going to stick with basic black.
