I also wear regular leggings to keep my legs warm at night.

I've been known to wear leggings under long skirts just for modesty's sake.

But my basic rule is that leggings worn for social purposes must have something over them that covers down to the mid-thigh. And that no person over 10 pounds overweight should wear light colored leggings under any circumstances.

I mean, you can see people's ASS CRACK in leggings. If that's something you want everyone to see, good luck to you.

I DO mind when you put on a normal shirt, leggings, shoes, then think "hmmm, I still feel a little breezy" and BELT YOUR MOTHER EFFING SHIRT. Pants are the solution to your problem, not a superfluous belt. Pants. Shorts. A skirt. Even a romper, if you must. But don't belt your shirt and tell me you're clothed.

So I live in skirts and dresses, 365 days a year. It's just so much easier. I don't have to worry about the heartbreak of finding "tall" sizes or the heartbreak of finding something that will just fit my goddamn hips for once. And I wear leggings UNDERNEATH them in winter, which provides just enough warmth. No muss, no fuss, and I constantly look way too dressy for any given situation!

Of course, for really grungy stuff, like cleaning the bathroom or taking out trash, I have some ratty yoga pants and basketball shorts and whatever, but man, skirts for the win. I can go from "sleep tousled ratty pajamas" to "company formal event" in fifteen minutes with judicious application of a decent-looking dress and a hairbrush. No more pants for me. They are extremely short tiny little things that will never be long enough, and they just mean heartbreak.
