In defense of leggings



This article created some feelings in me. I like this website, and usually love most of their articles, but lately it's gotten so shaming that I just gotta say some things.

What the hell is wrong with wanting to be comfortable? The world is an incredibly uncomfortable place. From slut shaming to religion shaming to gender-shaming to whatever else people decide to be mean about on a daily basis, of course, we want to hang on to that feeling of being in the only safe place in the world: our beds.  So, if the world wants women to start wearing pants...or go even further back in time to wearing skirts...please make the world a safe enough place to wear them.

Also, the blog I got this picture from is a really great fashion blog for healthy bodies and minds :)

  1. Hey Carly! Love your blog. I've actually been meaning to ask you where your favorite place to purchase leggings is. I remember you wore them a lot when we worked together and they seemed better than most pairs I've seen. Let me know!

    1. Thanks, Tiffany! I think last year my main pair was from Lulu Lemon. I still wear them a ton, but they're starting to wear thin (after 4 years or so of regular wear). I bought a new pair from Danskin that are really great too, not quite as great as the Lulu lemon ones, but considering they were 1/3 the price, they are great!!
