Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: These Leggings Are Made for Partying And That’s Just What They’ll Do
January 30, 2009 Posted in Style
[Every week our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities are spending $5,000 on an ensemble, you don’t have to.
All you have to do is click on the goods and - boom - you can buy the entire ensemble. Yes, we know; there is a spot for her in heaven.]
The fact that people are saying Jessica Simpson is FAT is baffeling to me. She was way too thin before and she is still thin now. The media obsession with calling her fat is only perpetuating a society of anorexics and girls ripping other girls apart. I agree with our gal Jess when she said that “I feel like in our world, we focus on so many things that are unimportant. And I really just wanted to say this.”
So instead of focusing on her weight, I decided to focus on her fashion, because curvy or thin, blonde or brunette, this is one cute celebrity look that I wanted to find on the cheap.
Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: These Leggings Are Made for Partying And That’s Just What They’ll Do.
Satin Trim Blazer
I believe that the infamous picture of Jessica Simpson proves one thing and one thing only: her stylist totally messed up. Instead of bringing negative attention to her body, this jacket brings the focus to the narrowest part of the waist line, which is flattering on everyone.
Leather Leggings
Leather leggings, while difficult to pull off, are a fun switch. The key is wearing a longer top or mid length blazer with them to cover your booty and thighs. If you like this look rock it! If not, black skinny jeans would look just as great without all the shine.
Sheer V-Neck T-shirt
You could go with any average t-shirt, but adding a little sheer (not to mention a totally hot super deep v) to your wardrobe totally ups the sex appeal.
Accessories
Since this look is pretty basic, feel free to spice it up with some fun accessories: a big pendant, a colorful bangle, a funky cocktail ring… The choices are endless!
Shoes
Since I don’t reccomend going barefoot on campus like Jess is on stage, I found these oh-so-cute shoes to pair with the ‘fit. And for those of us in colder climates, either suck it up (cuz these hot shoes are totally worth it) or throw on some hot boots.

I own a pair of black skinny jeans,because I refuse to wear leggings(also,I look baaaad with it) and those jeans are the best thing EVER.I wear all the time,with long tops or short dresses!!! I got mine at H&M and did not pay a lot of money(like 30 bucks) and they had in all colors.
if this woman is fat,please call me Shamu and toss me in the ocean,thank you very much!

Haha, I wear my black skinny jeans all the time and people always swear that they're leggings!
Got mine at some random store for like $10.
They fit like a dream & I've had em' for a while now!! I'm looking for a few more pairs of them, actually
.
Also. Everyone needs to lay the fuck off of Jessica Simpson and her weight. She's not even close to being fat & the obsession and ridicule surrounding her have proved how ridiculous this country's obsession with a size 00 has become.
I'm not rail-thin or a size 26 "skinny-bitch hater" either. I'm HEALTHY. & I think a lot of the young women in the US need to sit down and really think about what that means.

I agree that everyone needs to lay of Ms. Simpson. If she's happy with her weight then who is anyone else to talk bad about it. But I will say this look is definitely not flattering on her. Just like that other picture of her is not a flattering look. And I think that is why she's gotten so much negative attention, because she's wearing outfits that flaunt her [healthy] weight gain.

Love how not many articles ago you reported that "men hate excessive cleavage", but now it's recommended?
I don't get it.

I have a pair of leather-look leggings, I think they're awesome! I actually met my current boyfriend while wearing them, so they just might be lucky! I just wish mine were longer like the ones in the picture! I don't think Jessica's too large at all, but I do think her blazer is a little too long/ boxy for her. Her legs look really short there, but maybe it's because she's not wearing shoes…
