Plus Size Style - Everyday Bombshell

Yesterday, I mentioned over email to my good friend, Stephanie, that I was wearing leggings.  She was aghast at my fashion decision...which really surprised me.  So I took to Twitter to find out what you guys think about leggings these days. 

The reactions were split between, "Yeah, I wear 'em.  Why?" to "No one under 8 should wear leggings!"

Clearly, I fall in the, "Yeah I wear 'em" camp.  I wear leggings for a couple of reasons. 

1. I like the way they look on me
2. At 6' tall, a lot of 'dresses' are more like tunics on me

I wear leggings, mostly, to work or other places where flashing a lot of thigh isn't appropriate.  Leggings bridge the gap between 'too bare' and pulling on a pair of tights - which (optimistically speaking!) are just about unseasonal.

 

So what do you think - do you wear leggings or do you leave them to the toddler-crowd?
