At a yard sale at the end of summer, I scored a few pair of White House Black Market leggings still with the tags attached for 50 cents apiece. I love leggings because they’re so comfortable, but they often sit in my drawer because I don’t know what to wear with them!
When digging out my fall clothing (and don’t you love finding things you’ve forgotten about since last winter?), I discovered that this sweater almost exactly matched the color of these leggings. This is a Style & Co. sweater bought at Macy’s last year.
I accessorized with a print scarf that had shades of the same color and a pair of earrings and bracelet bought at a flea market earlier this year.
Knee-high boots and a thrifted leather jacket finished off this look. I love it when a single new item allows me to go “shopping” in my closet to pull an outfit together!

okay, that’s adorable. I always hesitate to wear leggings as I have gained weight and have a horror of being one of those “ladies of walmart”. Granted I am still smaller than “the average American woman” but worry about how I look from behind. Never occurred to me to wear a tunic with them. Thanks!

Thanks, Suze! I sometimes go through the dress racks at the thrift shops and come up with cute dresses that are too short to wear alone (I also don’t want to be in a “seen at Walmart” photo) but make great tunics to wear with leggings. They’re just so comfortable! Thanks for commenting. I took a peek at your blog and will now go and have a little binge on reading it!

just a little note update. I took my fears and shoved them..and bought two leggings. One is a pretty floral and the other is a pale sage green. I also found FIVE long tops and one short dress to wear over them. I have received a dozen compliments on them so far and someone asked if I had lost weight! Thanks!
