This weeks Aussie Curves post was too easy- leggings seem to make up 50% of my wardrobe! Now, I read a pretty nasty post by a fashion blogger the other day, who said that leggings can never be a fashion item...... Well I think it's all about how you wear them! Fashion is about self expression and I happen to love rocking some black (or brightly coloured!) leggings!!
Leggings: Avella via BigW
Tunic: Yours Clothing
Jacket: Target
Necklace and Beanie: Equip
Heels: Torrid
I love leggings. Seriously. They go with everything, are super comfy and crazy cheap! Whats not to love?! There are so many styles available now too, I have all different lengths and embellishments. These ones have a funky ankle zip detail but I have others with studs, lace, leather strips, cut-outs and even rad patterns!
Don't you think there is something effortlessly cool about a mid-thigh mac jacket- even better, this jacket was a freebie from Suger Coat It!
So tell me, what do you think of leggings??
Fashion statement or fashion faux pas???
You look absolutely stunning, your smile is beautiful and those leggings look brilliant on you. It ain't what you wear it's how you wear it, you've got style and class. Thin leggings worn like trousers is never good but layered up like yours is perfect. x
ReplyDeleteI agree Vix!
DeleteYou look gorgeous! I think leggings styled like this is fine, but worn as trousers with short t-shirts; no.
ReplyDeleteLol I'm more a tunic girl lol
DeleteI love leggings! I don't wear them a lot because I don't always love them on me but I think you look beautiful in them! And I think that whomever posted the statement about them not being a fashion item has some narrow views about fashion and we should feel bad for them. If you can't express yourself through fashion and have a good time with it, what's the point?
ReplyDeleteExactly Crystal!!! I agree 100%
Deletetres jolie tenue avec un gros plus pour le top !
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, it's just how you wear them! I haven't quite ventured into it though I just might after reading your post though!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! Do it!! :)
DeleteI love all your outfits. Seriously, cut you and you would bleed fashion! Colour me jealous :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks Leah!
DeleteLove this outfit on you Olivia! x
ReplyDeleteThanks babe! Xx
DeleteI love leggings and wear them under dresses and tunics. My fashion staple! I personally think they should only be worn with something long enough to cover the derriere as they usually show far more than anyone wants to see, but that's just my view.
ReplyDeleteI love the whole ensemble- especially that gorgeous tunic! xx
Thanks Louise!
DeleteI don't wear leggings a lot - but I HAVE to wear them when I'm traveling! So comfy! You look adorable as always :D
ReplyDeleteYes!! They are one of my travel must-haves! Xx
DeleteI think people that say x isn't fashion dont understand it, it's all about self expression and each person will interpret in their own way. People should wear what they want when they want :) you as always look adorable
ReplyDeleteXx
I so agree! It's all about self expression!
DeleteYup, leggings have been a staple for me this winter. And I think fashion bloggers shouldn't tell people how to dress or lay down any rules- it's all about what you like and feel comfortable in. I love the way you smile in your photos, you always look so happy! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bek! And I agree! In fact I don't think anybody should ever tell anyone else how to dress! Xx
DeleteMinx!
ReplyDeleteAw you! X
DeleteWow that shadow photo is amazing x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Hayley! X
DeleteI LOVE your tunic top! So cute! and I totally agree with the others, that shadow photo is amazing and you have such a great smile!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Amanda! It was great fun playing with those shadows!
DeleteYou look beautiful! Loving the beret!
ReplyDeleteThanks babe! X
DeleteYou look super cute!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Thanks Cait! Xx
DeleteSeriously, that jacket is more at home on you then it ever was on me. Glad to see it's coming in handy. Love the red and the shadow and the cute side zips on the leggings. Gorgeous as always. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's super warm too! Thanks Suger! X
DeleteEeek that dress is fantabulous! It all looks great.
ReplyDeleteLol thanks babe! It's got a cool peplum thing too but it didn't show up in the pictures.
Deletelove the styling of the leggings and the tunic with the jacket. And that street shadow pic is amazing......
ReplyDeleteThankyou! X
DeleteI love this outfit on you! LEggings are perfect for adding a bit of warmth when wearing dresses :) I think once everyone tries leggings they change their mind about how "unfashionable" they are - it's all in what you wear them with :) As long as people wear them with a dress or long tunic top - I'm not a fan of the leggings as pants trend. Maybe I'm not fashion forward enough! haha
ReplyDeleteLol leggings are the bomb. I only just realised too that I'm wearing leggings in my header!!
DeleteAgreed! That shadow pic is AH-MAZING! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Tab!
DeleteYou look fab. :-)
ReplyDeleteThankyou!
DeleteI'm more of a full stocking or knee high sock girl than a leggings girl BUT I completely disagree that they can never be a fashion item, its all in the way you wear them (Although I'm not a fan of them as pants, they're better under a skirt or something). And you totally prove that point, you look adorable. Also you have an amazing smile.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! And thankyou!! Cx
DeleteWhat a lovely post! Your blog is lovely by the way! xx

Red, black, POCKETS... if you ever find that top missing from your closet, you might have to come looking at my place for it.. :D
ReplyDeleteOlivia, you stunner! You look a-m-a-z-i-n-g in this ensemble, but come on, let's be honest... when DON'T you look like a total goddess?! LOVE the look!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Fashion statement no doubt about it ... your gorgeous smile makes me smile too ... you look fabulous every single time ;~)
ReplyDeleteOk, so I'm just going to admit right now that I'm totally stealing this outfit idea for when it finally cools down here. Except maybe the hat though, because my giant head can't keep a hat on to save it's life. LOL :D You look fantastic as always, babe! <3
