This was a week for decisions. Major decisions. And boy, did we make them. We elected Barack Obama as the 44^th (and first African-American) President of the United States. And though we didn’t directly choose Michelle Obama (or any of the First Ladies), we did decide who’s hot and who’s not.  We chose between working out at the gym and at home, between babes and nerds, between trendy skirts and patterned leggings. On the relationship side of things, we decided to make the jump from friends to lovers, and subsequently from lovers back to friends. We learned that guys get off on porn (really?), and girls become more fertile by watching Sex and the City. We decided that you shouldn’t spend too much money on dating, and on the proper prep work for losing your v-card.

And now that it’s Friday, take a break from all the deliberations and enjoy the weekend!

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.)
