Weirdly enough somehow I feel like I can get away with more oddball things. Not that leather leggings are oddball at the moment--just trendy, but still pushing the envelope for the majority of people who don't pay attention to these things.</p> <p>Deborah, Claudia, Isis, Thank you!</p> <p>Vix, yes I am curious myself how I will feel about these things later. You hit the nail on the head when it comes to most clothing sold as maternity--it just doesn't feel like me at all and it makes me feel frumpy and unhappy.</p> <p>MNSara, LOL--too true. Maybe that's why it didn't bother me all day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702850 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 17:45:49 +0000 MNsara 702850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just have to say that you are the chic-est momma-to-be in that outfit!! Even if you weren't pregnant, that would be a fab outfit!!</p> <p>I agree that invisible socks would be even better, but heh, you probably can't even see your feet anyway </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702796 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 16:34:56 +0000 Vix 702796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet you look wonderful and very "you" in this!</p> <p>I could see you continuing to wear this once the baby is here if you continue to love it. I think a lot of women (understandably) get sick of their maternity clothes because they are in frequent rotation and don't really represent their style...the items are just "gotta haves" for a situation. </p> <p>You'll have to let us know whether the leather leggings end up as a passing fancy or move along with you into motherhood! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702647 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 13:06:24 +0000 Isis 702647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so very cool and fashionable! Fabbest pregnancy ever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702626 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 12:26:12 +0000 Claudia 702626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702618 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 12:04:46 +0000 Deborah 702618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet you look stunning. A very cool look and not maternity specific. I would also prefer a bootie, even if with a flat heel but understand the need for comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702570 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 06:19:46 +0000 CocoLion 702570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason I can't open any thumbnails on YLF right now, but from the little pics, this looks awesome! Anyone who can pull off leather leggings gets a lot of respect in my book, but to pull them off when in the third trimester (am I right?) is worthy of a Vanity Fair cover. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702569 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 06:09:23 +0000 Scarlet 702569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I can still technically wear all my shoes, but I feel so heavy on my feet, my feet hurt and ask me for something cushy. Maybe I need to find some great cushy inserts so I don’t end up in sneakers all the time. I started the week in my little ballet flats, but by Thursday I was done with that.</p> <p>Angie, you would be the cutest wolf-whistler :)</p> <p>Cinnamon fern, high-low tops seemed counter-intuitive at first glance, but they are working out well because of the drape factor, and as normal tops might be shorter anyway falling over the big belly, it just kind of allows you to run with it.</p> <p>Sarah, these socks (in the link and the ones I was looking for, not the ones on my feet in the photo) work out really well for me. I am a huge Falke sock fan. They really last for years and keep their shape. They are a bit cheaper in Germany though. I have some like those in the link and some with an even lower vamp, depending on the shoe I wear. There is some silicon on the back of the heel that keeps them from slipping off.<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Falke-Sneaker-Invisible-14654-White/dp/B006UDMUVI/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1345874282&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=falke+sneaker" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Falke-Sn.....ke+sneaker</a></p> <p>Thanks so much to everyone who commented. You are so kind, and it is such music to my ears because I am often feeling insecure these days.</p> <p>By the way to Suz and anyone else who is interested, these clothes are currently available from Mango and all machine washable. I would be happy to send you the links.</p> <p>ETA: Christy and IK, I have read that you will never want to see your maternity clothes after the fact again. Maybe this is true. Another reason I am doing everything on the cheap--so I won't feel bad about boxing the stuff up or letting it go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702567 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 05:54:15 +0000 christy 702567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! A scarlet post! You are lookin' like one hot mama! Seriously, you are looking terrific. Hope you're feeling as great as you look. I love the leather leggings and can definitely see those working in your post-pregnancy wardrobe (if, as IK does smartly mention, you aren't entirely sick of them!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702545 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 04:09:24 +0000 goldenpig 702545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit!

You Look Fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702342 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:49:25 +0000 Mo 702342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is pretty rockin', maternity or not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702331 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:39:42 +0000 MsMary 702331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO FAB!

Wow.</p> <p>And how scary that there happens to be an ad for maternity wear right above this reply as I type : (</p> <p>Do you have "invisible" socks that actually work for you? Mine always slide down and bunch around my toes after about 15 min. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702262 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:18:38 +0000 cinnamon fern 702262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable! Now I realize that the hi-lo top is the perfect pregnancy top ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702258 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:15:24 +0000 Angie 702258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I could wolf whistle I would :)</p> <p>You look cuter than cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702226 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 20:40:59 +0000 annagybe 702226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I like!

Trust me, once the pregnancy is over, you will NEVER, EVER want to wear them again. Unless you get pregnant again. Then maybe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702206 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 20:14:05 +0000 kellygirl 702206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is awesome. I think you look cool and hip! You are looking fab, Scarlet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702196 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 20:06:51 +0000 celia 702196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't know you were pregnant. Congratulations!<br /> You do look like a very cool pregnant lady.The leggings are fab and will get a lot of wear out of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702137 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:50:41 +0000 Jonesy 702137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet, you are the coolest pregnant woman EVAH!! You look so fab! How awesome that you will be able to wear those leggings postpartum too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702133 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:47:14 +0000 Queen Mum 702133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702121 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:38:24 +0000 Astrid 702121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet, this is so cool! Love it. You're right that other socks would have been better, but even so this is awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702119 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:36:57 +0000 Scarlet 702119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just want to tag on the complaint that I bought two pairs of socks over the weekend and washed them, and one sock is already missing! I never even wore it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maternity-wear--leather-leggings#post-702117 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:35:45 +0000 Scarlet 702117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this is the kind of outfit that would look better with heels, in my opinion, but that’s just not where it’s at for me right now. I was in a hurry to leave this morning and couldn’t find my invisible socks, and I see now these ones look really bad in the photo! Shame! But I am posting because otherwise I will never get to it. It’s hard to get black to photograph well. The shirt is a tiny bit shiny and has a high-low hem. The leggings have a pleather panel on the front with some seaming on the knee in a kind of moto effect. The nice thing about these items is I can also see myself wearing them later on. I realize this is arguably not the most flattering look ever, but I am enjoying these unusual pieces because I am so restricted in what I can wear right now, any variety or fun factor is golden to me. Feel free to let me know though if you think this is really awful or something. </p>
