First leggings outfits!

April

(Yes, Angie, I will also post the photo links in your dedicated thread.)

Okay, so armed with lots of good advice from the YLF crew, I ventured forth to assemble my first leggings outfits. There are two pairs of leggings involved: Shiny's snap leggings from Arden B, and Angie's INC leggings -- only without the cool zippers, which I would have loved but could only find in plus sizes.

This one is a steel blue Max & Cleo dress found for a song on Overstock.com, with the snap leggings (and yes, my own Brulees - thanks to Kari for finding a sale!):

Front of dress is really pockets:

I think the front of the dress is complicated enough that it doesn't lend itself to a necklace, but would be good with some more dramatic earrings instead, which I didn't have with me.

Second outfit is an ATL dress that I think Shiny may have alerted me to (Shiny, is that right?) I would like this with a slightly wider belt but again, didn't have one with me:

Leggings for grownups -- who knew... :) Thank you, Angie, it has been fun trying something fresh.

KILLER. Both outfits.

I CAN”T STAND IT! First Joy and now our gorgeous, April. I am speechless.

Cat gave me back my tongue. April, you look AMAZING. I want that grey frock with the pockets! You have absolutely nailed the leggings look. I’m finished (Do you know that expression?)

I hope you feel as fabulous as you look. WOW. Well done :0)

(please post your outfit on the leggings thread too).

Taylor -- the M&C dress is still available in our size but in a shade they're calling "Blonde" (seems like a creamy yellow -- do you do yellow?):

Angie, this really was fun. Most fun for me was when I first put on the M&C outfit, my darling man said, "Wow, that's elegant." :) Would not have tried this without all the encouragement from the YLFers.

Wow. I love the first dress on you, April. Especially the second picture where you can see the pockets. I really like the triangular lines they create.

Have fun with leggings!

April, my local Macy's recently restocked the zippered INC leggings and I snatched a pair in small size (not plus). Maybe they'll reappear again in your neck of the woods?

My heart just melted. Sometimes, our significant others REALLY get it right. You *are* 100% elegant. I’m happy for you, April. That’s brilliant.

Macys petites department has restocked the zippered leggings too. Go have a squizz.

April, you look stunning! Like you, I'd never have tried leggings if it wasn't for Angie and forum members.
