OMJ

Oh, My, Jeggings.  Today's post is going to be about jeggings because I am sick and tired of seeing them worn the wrong way.  First off- JEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS.  If you would like to wear pants, please go buy some real ones.  Secondly- IF YOU MUST WEAR JEGGINGS, WEAR THEM THE RIGHT WAY.  Please, if you must wear jeggings wear them with a shirt long enough to reach the top of your thighs.  Keep it classy.  So here goes my guide to the dos and donts of the jegging trend.
1.  What jeggings actually are:  Jeggings are not actually denim, they are LEGGINGS styled to look like tight denim jeans.  Therefore they must be worn as leggings instead of jeans. 
2. Which Jeggings to buy: Please please please for the love of God do not wear bright colored jeggings.  Bright colored pants that are not cordoroys are bad enough on their own, but skin tight colored pants?  Don't do it.  Buy a nice dark pair of indigo jeggings with good contrast stitching and make sure that they fit you well.  Few things are worse than having a foot of jeggings bunched up at your ankles.
3. What shirts you can wear jeggings with:
       a. Tunics. 
          b. Mini Dresses (Sometimes)- This Twenty8Twelve dress would be very cute over jeggings if it
              didn't have that gaudy bow on the bottom!
         c. Oversized Sweaters

4. What shoes are acceptable with Jeggings:  Flats  only! Wearing heels with jeggings looks trashy- Not prep appropriate.
Follow this guide and you may be able to get away with a classy jegging look! (But you probably still will not see me wearing them).
 Bisou Bisou- Gossip Girl...   oh wait, wrong logoff! Preppy Living Ya'll!
