The past ten years have been a hot mess. Getting two degrees, our first appartment, my first job, moving 40km away from home, our first house, a burnout, a dog, a break-up, a tinder account, a new appartment and a fresh start all while travelling from pillar to post, maintaining a social life, get enough sleep, pay my bills and remember to make dinner before 10PM. Adulting is weird. Still not sure how I get to be unsupervised all the time. Or how I am staying alive. Soooo ready for those dirty thirties, baby. Bring it. πŸŽ‚πŸŽπŸŽˆπŸŽ‰

Yes, I Wear Leggings As Pants

Funny short story:

Last week I had coffee with and old friend from uni. Good coffee, good carrot cake, good times. As we were walking to the train station afterwards he suddenly pointed his finger and said full of horror “That girl… leggings are not pants!”. And there I was walking next to him… wearing leggings as pants.

Fancy J.Crew leggings. But still, Leggings.

Whoever thought of the rule that leggings can’t be worn as pants is an idiot. Have you ever sat at your office desk for eight hours wearing skinny jeans? TORTURE, I tell you! Through the years I’ve seen about a million articles and blog post about “how to wear leggings” and they all seem to conclude that you shouldn’t unless you’re going to the gym. Don’t believe that story. Admittedly, I also believe that leggings can work as pants only when worn right.

I personally chose a pair in a very thick material and a neutral color that I always pair with longer blouses or tunics to make sure my bum is covered. The J.crew Pixie leggings had been on my wish list forever and I was so happy to finally splurge on them in Miami. I’ve worn them countless times since, but the outfit I am wearing today is definitely my favorite combination: slightly longer and loose-fitting blouse, knee-high boots and a blazer (always a blazer!). The perfect outfit for the office and… for coffee dates with uni friends who dis on leggings as pants.

blazer: Massimo Dutti
leggings: J.crew
knee-high boots: Pedro Miralles via (c/o BENT)

    I definitely feel like you’re doing “leggings as pants” right, but there are definitely some that shouldn’t! If I can see the outline of someone’s lady parts, they need a longer shirt, haha!

    I love your top! πŸ™‚

    I’m not a leggings as pants fan, pants are pants and that’s it. BUT what I think shouldn’t impact other people. If you want to wear leggings as pants, and you feel happy and stylish in them (you look it) then wear them as much as you want! πŸ™‚ Fashion would be boring after all if we all wore things in the same way.

    Hope you are having a great week πŸ™‚

2021... What. A. Year. A break-up in spring. My 2021... What. A. Year. 

A break-up in spring. My life in boxes in summer. Moving into my appartement and returning to my job full time after two years in fall. My first dates in winter. All while living between lockdowns and vaccinations. Four stormy seasons finally coming to an end.

Starting 2022 completely clueless, but with nothing but curiosity and a craving to find out where life will take me in the next 365 days. 

2022, LET'S DO THIS. πŸ™Œ

✨HAPPY NEW YEAR ✨
