It took me a long time to admit it, but I really love my leggings. They seriously make everyone look good, no matter what size you wear. They are also the perfect pant in that you can wear them to the gym, to class, and to the bar. Oh, and they happen to be the only kind of pants that really look flawless stuffed into a knee-high boot.

Love it!

But lately I’ve been seeing a new spin on the legging: the patterned legging. I know that it is the natural progression of fashion to take something great and make it new and different, but I feel like this is new and…ugly.

What do you think?

Patterned leggings – love em or hate em? (Oh, and nevemind the rest of little Lourdes’s ensembles/crazy mother…we’re talkin’ about the pants here.)

If I look out my living room window I can see American Apparel. When I peruse my favorite websites, I am bombarded with the girls only partially dressed in American Apparel clothes. When I need a white tank top because I spilled salsa on mine, I head to the nearest American Apparel.

In other words, I know American Apparel.

Their stores are chock full of ridiculous things I would never wear, but they also happen to carry some seriously awesome essentials. You may have to pick through the sparkly unitards to find em, but they are most definitely worth the work. Don’t know what to look for? That’s why I am here.
