Morning's Light

This photo on a flickr group (flickr member "sass face") + seeing some chic youth group students at church inspired my purchase of black capri leggings to wear under dresses and skirts. Yesterday was cool enough for me to compile an ensemble of a black linen sundress that is a bit see through + the leggings + a white cardi + a yellow/white scarf. Did I die and go to heaven? The leggings were THAT comfortable! I kept thinking colleagues were going to send me home for working in my pajamas!

The last time I wore leggings it was (cough cough) the early nineties. I was wearing a pair of navy leggings under a cute top and was lagging behind some friends in a restaurant's parking lot in SoCal. Some businessmen were arriving for lunch as well.

My friends called to me, but the dang leggings had kept riding up past my knees, so I had to stop to make an adjustment. Thus I yelled to the friends, "I'll be right there! I have to PULL MY PANTS DOWN!"  Those men's heads whipped around so fast I swear they had whiplash!

Leggings. Love 'em.

PS: The original outfits I saw that had me thinking "hmmm..leggings?  okay!!" were from the flickr member, Melinda, a/k/a weddingpie.
