Generally Not A Fan...

But for these I'll make an exception.

As a general rule, I don't like leggings. There are very few fashion trends from the 80's that should ever see the light of day again and in my opinion leggings are not one of them. Leggings in church, especially over dresses that are essentially long shirts, were once on my "things that must go" list. Just because they cover your legs doesn't mean they are appropriate in that setting. I mean, skin does the same thing right, so really why bother wearing pants at all? That being said, I think there are a few ways that they can be worn tastefully, though you will never see me demonstrate those ways. (I'm sure you all look to me as a fashion icon and take what I have to say about the subject very seriously, right? :)

Anyway, I randomly came across these skeleton leggings on the inter-web and there is only one word for them: Awesome! I so wish I had known about these when I was taking anatomy. Maybe I would have gotten a better grade :) Actually they're probably not really anatomically correct, but I still love them. Maybe because they remind me of this guy:

Did anybody else watch this show as a kid? I think I was a little too young to really get what he was teaching about the body but I thought his suit was cool, in a creepy sort of way. Apparently he still tours the country and does educational assemblies in elementary schools. (Sidenote: I would love to get his opinion of the full body scan machines at airports. Wouldn't it be kind of ironic if he were against them?)

Anyway, in conclusion, if any of you would like to wear the leggings shown above you have my express permission to do so and the official AskLinds Seal of Awesomeness, which I just made up but will now use in the future: ) Just make sure your shirt-dress covers your butt when you do.
