Leggings Are NOT Pants
For all of you ladies out there, that wear leggings, let me share with you….what the rest of us are thinking. Leggings are NOT pants.
My daughter came home from school last year and informed me that there was a new fella starting in her class. Yay for her! I picked her up everyday at 1:30 (she was in Kindergarten at the time) parked there waiting for my daughter to come out, I see the Ontario licence plate. The mother gets out of her car parked behind me to go into the school. I didn’t think much of it, she was a larger woman (not that I care) and considering how much work moving is I didn’t judge think anything about her right away. She was wearing an a pair of leggings sneakers and a tight T. So as the weeks went by, the EVERYDAY occurrence of this mother picking up her son up in her leggings was starting to get old. I was mildly baffled that this woman was going out in public dressed like this. But not only was she wearing leggings as an everyday occurrence she was trying to make them stylish. Let me break it down for you.
DAY 1 (Monday) – First day of the week, she doesn’t want to try too hard, grey tights with a sneakers and a hoody.
DAY 2 (Tuesday) – Wants everyone to know that she exists a little, white, that’s right, white tights with a tight T and sandals.
DAY3 (Wednesday) – You’ll love this………tiger pattern tights with embroidery and black hooker boots that go above her knees! Blouse and short leather jacket.
DAY 4 (Thursday) – Black tights with the double tank top look and thong sandals.
DAY 5 (Friday) – Dress up day, light pink tights with blouse, necklace and ankle boots.
On all occasions this mother is going into the school with all of these choices on and NO UNDERWEAR. Not even a thong!
What I want to know is who told her that wearing leggings in public was OK!!!! Doesn’t she have any friends that have her back so that she wouldn’t be laughed at. But really not even laughed at, people looking at her are astonished. They shrug their head back with the disbelief that she could possibly allow herself to be humiliated like that. Now I understand that people that are overweight feel as though they have less options, or clothing choices, but really she is about a size 18, that isn’t unusual with what our society weighs nowadays. Where are the fashion police. I feel sad that they haven’t been told that they are doing an injustice to their body. To their class.
Just because they are the color black does not mean that they make you look smaller! You do not look smaller, I just happen to see you cellulite easier now.
Do you personally know somebody that needs to be spoken to by the fashion police? Do you know someone that wears leggings and it doesn’t flatter their body?
