On the Subject of Leggings...

After spending way too much time being exposed to people who where leggings day in and day out, this is what my mind has come up with. Under NO circumstances should you wear leggings as your only form of "pants" if all of the following criteria are not met.

1. Leggings must be fully opaque. I have no desire to see what kind/color underwear you have on, so please spare me the visual. If your leggings are almost but not quite opaque, buy a pair of cheap-o leggings to wear under your nicer ones.


2. Your top must cover at least half of your backside. This is what long tanks and tees have been destined for, so if your shirt stops before it covers your butt then put on a pair of jeans.

3. Jeggings (jean-leggings) are only acceptable when the material resembles that which jeans are made of. If all you have are cotton leggings that are died to simple resemble jeans, please don't go there.

....and that's all I have to say about that.

As if I need more examples...

So there is a new guy at work (henceforth referred to as NG) and this is one of our first conversations:

Me: So you just transferred from the Sherman Oaks store?
NG: Yeah, have you been here long?

Me:  I just started, I'm trying to save up a little spending money before schools starts again.

NG: Cool, so what high school do you go to?

Me: Actually, I go to CSUN.

NG: Oh, are you a freshman or something?

Me: No, I'm a grad student.

NG: *looks shocked* How old are you?

Me: I'm 23, why how old do I look?

NG: Like 17, 18. A lot younger than 23.

Me: I get that a lot.

Okay world, I get it, I look young.
