Leggings Game on Lock

What I love about leggings is that they're ultra comfy, and you can throw them on with just about anything and look fabulous. They should come six to a pack like socks! I wear them so much I'm sure people wonder if I own a pair of jeans or pants.  Enjoy :=)

6126 by Lindsay Lohan

The line of leggings debuted about a year ago. The brand's name is Marilyn Monroe's birthdate. I like the line, however, the words "HUGELY OVERPRICED" come to mind. $223 for plain liquid leggings? No bueno. A basic pair is only $66, and I say only because I'm hoping that the inflated price is because they are of a heavier material than say the basic leggings for $4.50 from Forever21that feel paper thin in this increasingly cool weather.

I must say that in some cases the more expensive the leggings, the better the design concept and detail when it comes to all of the extras (slits, buttons, zippers, lace, metallics, etc.), and durability. Peep the more interesting pairs from Lindsay's line:

And don't forget to check out the Where the Wild Things Are leggings mentioned in the previous post "Where the Wild Things Are...To Be Purchased." They're super cute.

With some of the above leggings it will be too easy to go from classy to trashy. The key is to dress yourself in moderation, i.e., if you're going to wear leggings that show a lot of skin and have slits or lace (and let's be real, seem as if something a prostitute might wear, like the sheer mesh leggings) then make sure your whatever top you're wearing isn't too revealing in the chest or midriff area. You also might want to layer the leggings by wearing black or another color legging, or even tights, underneath.

     And before I end this...Doesn't it suck when someone you're a huge fan of goes on a steep, seemingly never-ending downward spiral and their life is appears to be super glued in the depths of...WACKNESS? I used to adore Lindasy Lohan. It was so obvious that she had "it." When she resurfaced to the big screen and filmed Mean Girls  her talent and potential was extraordinary.  She offered something different than what was currently out. So what in the hell happened?! The saying "what goes up must come down" comes to mind when I think of her, however what went down apparently has gone waaaaaay down and sinks further still.

     I won't bring up her past and current issues, but I will mention her most recent epic fail during Paris Fashion week. She's the artistic director of Emanuel Ungaro and the ready-to-wear Spring 2010 collection received horrible reviews. The line has been called "misguided," cheesy," and "dated." Check out the line at style.com, the link will take you directly to the complete collection. I can't completely disagree with the reviews. Sigh.

WHAT DO YOUT THINK?
