Why Did You Wear That: Ray of Light

Though winter here hasn’t been much more than grey and rainy, I was able to catch a little bit of sun a couple of weekends ago.

I know coming hot off the heels of my Stylelist Q + A, this may seem like a “risky” outfit choice. Here’s the thing: I don’t hate leggings as a whole. I hate when girls wear leggings like they’re Levi’s. I’ve got a whole stack of leggings, but you better believe that unless I’m in the midst of a pilates class, my “assets” are covered when wearing them.

I love the sheer peach mixed with grey knits and grounded with a luggage brown boot. It’s a nice alternative to the standard black and brings a little bit of light (ness) to your most grey winter days.

Rule of thumb when deciding whether or not a shirt is long enough to be worn with leggings: Put your hands down to your sides. If the shirt reaches your fingertips, it should be okay. It’s kind of like the skirt/shorts rule in highschool. Use your head (and your eyes), your front pieces and bum should not be showing. Leggings, afterall, are not pants.
