it's okay to stare

I was sitting at the local coffee shop attempting to read, when I overheard some girls talking about jeggings. (Clearly, I was not that into my Reporting Vietnam book!)

Now, I know jeggings have been around for awhile already. They’ve been an ongoing trend! Yet, I keep hearing the age old question that I’ve heard many of us ask: What are jeggings?

In a nutshell, they are basically extremely skinny jeans that look and feel like leggings made to look like denim. (hence, jeggings. jeans + leggings = jeggings)

Throughout the conversation, I heard mumblings of “she was wearing them wrong!” So.. now.. how do you wear them? You don’t have to be skinny or even tall with long legs.

First and foremost, though… please make sure they fit your body type. Dark pair? Petite pair? Black slims? If you’re short: wear them with some cute shoes that will elongate those gams! If you’re curvy: pair them with a eye catching tunic! 

• *jegging DON’T: never wear a pair that’s a size too small, dolls! these are meant to be form fitting and make your body look fabulous! let’s try to prevent any unwanted mishaps.

Now, that sounds easy, right? 

… unless you’re a mermaid. :)

For us non-mermaids, these are something chic to pull on quickly if you’re in a hurry but still look great and feel comfortable!

Now, go! Head to Forever21, your favorite thrift store, or online shop and pick yourself up a pair or three.

I mean, come on… Conan O’Brien even loves them! :)

Now tell me poptarts, how do you all wear your jeggings? 

(or photo reply with a photo showing me! i’d love to take a gander at your style!)
