Still planning on returning these, but thought I'd do an outfit lab with them first. There are two different dresses here; the v-necked one is a dark eggplant, while the crewneck is black. I realize they look almost identical because my lighting is not great! They're both lightweight merino knits and I wear them a lot in the fall and winter, usually with tights or leggings underneath and some kind of topper. I was wearing the eggplant one the day I tried on these grey jegging things in-store, and the dress is the reason I ended up bringing them home. I like the way they look under dresses!

1 - eggplant dress with white denim jacket and jeggings.
2 -- black dress with white denim jacket and jeggings.
3 -- eggplant dress with grey field coat and jeggings.
4 -- black dress with grey field coat and jeggings.
5 -- eggplant dress with turtleneck sweater and jeggings.
6 -- black dress with sweater and jeggings.
7 -- eggplant dress with leggings (lower contrast than the jeans).
8 -- black dress with the same leggings.

Are the jeans really different enough from the dark grey moto-seamed leggings in #7/8 to justify keeping just to wear under dresses, with tall boots? Probably not. I do like that they're a bit lighter and add some contrast. And maybe they are more unexpected?
