This Old Sweater


I am not a fan of cropped leggings AT ALL and this photo shows me they are not doing my rather shapely legs any favors but I still dig this today. My 90s brown lace-up ankle boots were the killer but I was too lazy to get them in a photo. P.S. this picture is exactly what I feel like lately.

I don't like cropped leggings either...
I bought a pair by mistake from Uniqlo, white ones with a gold zipper to boot (so 80's yacht-chic), and contemplated wearing them yesterday so there must be something in the air.
You look very nice, and grumpy; I might make it my mission this weekend to prove that cropped leggings can look cool. Will post result on blog. Perhaps.

I think that you look very cute. Then again, I do like the cropped leggings, as you know. Also, shapely legs are hot.

selena, you wear them right, maybe that's what made me go there. hiking up a mountain in black lace leggings is a whole step above throwing black leggings under every single miniskirt ever.

jen b, i think cropped leggings that are more pants-like are way easier to work with because i have nothing against capri pants per se. actually i think the thing i hate about cropped leggings is how they're often just thrown on under skirts instead of incorporated into outfits. i guess they usually could and should be cute.

I have worn that sweater!

How are you wearing a sweater now, though. It's sweltering over here.

Isn't it 1200 degrees in Tokyo right now?

I have a bunch of leggings and need ideas!
