Your Opinion On... Patterned Leggings

Patterned leggings are supposed to be huge this coming fall and winter season. I have seen everything from leopard, zebra, and snakeskin to lace to florals and to tie dye even some abstract and psychedelic patterns. We also have a wide array of textures to choose from for leggings, including leather, velvet, denim, and sequins. Today, ShopBop.com even sent out an email with three different outfits with printed leggings (see above). Be sure to keep the rest of your outfit relatively simple and natural - a flowy top in a solid color with an interesting layering piece (think a fur vest, denim jacket, layered belts, etc). Leggings work great with an array of footwear - flats, heels, boots of any height, or even a pair of high top sneakers!

I like the more simple patterned leggings (lace, tie dye, and burnout) but might venture so far as to try leopard or zebra patterns as well. I love all the textures, especially leather! I also love all the leather-look-a-like options available.

What is your opinion on patterned leggings?

Pictured above, from left to right, are the Diane Von Furstenburg Printed Leggings ($118), the So Low Burnout Jersey Leggings ($57), and the Marc by Marc Jacobs Marc Doodle Leggings ($68), all available at ShopBop.com.

Private Sales

Private sale sites are gaining popularity by helping both consumers and retailers through these tight economic times. Designers finally have a venue at which to sell their deeply discounted merchandise, and fashionistas like us are able to maintain our lifestyle and our fashion standards without breaking the bank. Tons of sales are available every day from a variety of sample sale sites, and I am almost overwhelmed with the amount of email updates on these sales!

That being said, I have trimmed down on my Private Sale postings. I don't want to regurgitate all the information from the emails we all receive anyways - I will be posting only my handpicked favorite private sales from now on.
