Jeggings and leggings (how to rock them)

After the legging and the skinny jean,the latest pants to take the fashion world by storm are the jegging.

These are a cross between the denim jeans and the leggings,a new trend that i have seen flooding the Bulawayo streets.

I remember when i was in form 2,back in 2007,when leggings hit the streets.I had an outing with my friends where we all told each other that we were going to wear leggings.I remember begging my parents to buy me a pair,and they bought me a black one and a dress top that went with it.Boy,was I happy!Leggings used to be worn with a dress top that matched but gone are those days.Leggings can be worn with a top now.However one has to be careful how they wear them.

 

My first time seeing someone wearing jeggings,I thought it was too revealing.She was wearing a waist long tank top and jeggings.The girl was a bit fat and her top was too short to cover her behind.The sight was not so nice,not that i have anything against people who are fat,do not get me wrong.However,fashion trends are for everyone although we are not all supposed to wear the same type of clothes in the same way.This is why you should know the different ways in which to wear jeggings and leggings.

Jeggings are advisable to wear because they are much more comfortable than skinny jeans,they are more flexible.It is a more modest way to wearing leggings as pants.However I have come across people who have a tendency of wearing leggings as leggings.You should know that the two;leggings and jeggings are different.Leggings cannot be worn as pants because they will show every bump and dimple on your body.You can wear a top that slightly covers your bottom.You can only get away with wearing them as pants if you are a bit skinny as long as you don't draw attention.More so,if your leggings are of a dark colour like black,you can wear them as pants but if they are of a bright colour,you would be safe wearing them strictly as leggings.As much as you want everyone to look at you,i'm sure you don't want to be screaming "HELLO LOOK AT ME."On the other hand,jeggings can be worn with a normal top as they are worn the same way you wear denims.It all depends with how comfortable you are in them.

If you want to wear leggings as pants,you should pick a pair that has thicker material because it hides bumps and bulges better.Make sure you are not wearing tights.The biggest offense for any lady is to don tights thinking that she is wearing a pair of leggings.Basically you will be wearing a second skin.

The best thing you can accesorize with your legging or jegging look is CONFIDENCE.As much as your outfit looks good but lacks confidence,it won't be that attractive.This is why you have to wear something that you feel comfortable in as well.

How you can wear leggings at school

Jeggings for a sports game

While leggings are more casual,whereby you can wear them to school or for a sports game,jeggings can be worn as smart casual.You can pair them up with a blazer and a long tunic that will cover your behind.Stilletos and accesories will finish the look.Make sure that the jeggings are of a dark colour and the blazer is the one that talks.

The jegging formal look

Jeggings are not meant for everyone.Unlike well cut out jeans,they do not give a good look for chunky legs and they are not good at hiding flaws.They do not give you room to hide.

Therefore,it is all about getting a pair that suits you and your body shape.If you are creative enough,you can do a few tricks and illusions.

Why should you dress up everyday?

Do you even have a reason not to?

Dressing up has the ability to boost your confidence and your mood as well.This is why i have a compiled a list of the reasons why you need to look good all the time.Hopefully you will be motivated.

• Because you want to
• Nothing beats the feeling you get when you look into the mirror and fall in love with what you see
• Life is too short to blend in ,wearing the same clothes as everyone
• you do not want to look old and boring (yawn).
• Dressing up is not only for the rich who can buy expensive clothes.You can do it too with the few clothes that you have.All you need is a sense of style
• If you've got it,FLAUNT IT!!!
• If you dress nice,you can get away with not doing your hair,have a messy bun.Your clothes will do the talking
• You will get heads turning of course
• You act happier
•  Fashion is a method of self expression,express yourself through clothes
• You deserve to look fabulous all the time
• you never know who you might run into
  Because that pretty dress in your closet cost way too much to be worn once

• To stand out from everyone else. 
• You might come out of the B-metro or H-metro tomorrow.So be mindful of what you wear when you go out
•  One day when you are old and your body has grown ugly, you will start regretting why you did not dress up when you were young and had a beautiful body
• You want to be a trendsetter

 Nothing feels better than looking good.Start practising the act of dressing up!

LEGGING BOOTS?

I was just browsing through Kim Kardashian's pictures and i bumped into a picture of her that got me scratching my head.She was wearing legging boots!

These are leggings that are attached to boots (I don't know if we should call them boots leggings).They are sold as one thing.

Questions that ran through my mind were; wouldn't she find it hard putting one foot in front of the other in those too-tight-knee-length skirt?How far up do the boots go?Won"t she stumble or fall when she tries going up a staircase?Isn't it sweaty in there?

Its kind of a weird look but hey they must be expensive too if its Kim Kardashian.She used to dress so nice and then Kanye came along!I'm not so sure about this trend she is trying to set.Who knows,the leggings could be the next best thing.Maybe soon Bulawayo streets will be filled with girls walking in these legging boots,winter is fast approaching.

And oh,the leather skirt is not attached to the leggings.I thing the legging boots would look good without the skirt.

What do you think of Kim's new look?

Valentine's day fashion tips!!!

Mud is on the ground, and love is in the air. Valentine's Day is finally here.Its that one day in a year  when you show that special someone how much you care.well that’s what the greeting card companies and florists and whoever sells those valentine’s  presents make you believe.I personally think that everyday is a day to show your loved one how much you care.Anyway that’s not what this article is about.
Even if you're flying solo on V-Day ,or just skipping the whole fancy dinner thing , there's still plenty of fun to be had with the other people you love, whether that's a big group of your friends or just your three best friends (me, myself, and I).
Whatever your plans (or total lack thereof) you can still look gorgeous today with the ideas I have for you. Get ready to break some hearts!!!

DAY OUT
Considering that we are still in some,you could juts pair up a tank top with a short skirt and cute little pumps,depending on where you are going.You can wear heels too.Accesorize the look and you will look awesomely pretty!

                               

 DATE NIGHT
I'm in  favour of a date look that's sweetly classic, which is a little bit fancy.So a little red lace dress is perfect for this .

  
If you opt for something a little more straightforward like an  LBD(little black dress for those who don’t know) consider some glamorous accessories though. You could wear it with heels that scream in hot!

GIRLS' NIGHT OUT
You may not have romantic Valentine's Day plans, but it's still a perfectly good Friday night, after all. If you're getting some friends together maybe for drinks,dancing ,gossip night or whatever,you'll want to look ready to paint the town red or maybe white.
Go for those short skirts,the tattered jeans,or cropped jeans,They will boost your confidence.Be artistic.
It may just be the right time of year, but wearing your heart on your sleeve (or chest) is all the rage.

ANTI-VALENTINE'S DAY
My idea of the true 'I hate Valentine's Day' outfit? Probably snuggling with you teddy bear, but odds are, you'll have to leave the house at some point.Stop wallowing and go out. If that's the case, put on your best "keep those candy hearts away from me" glare and your toughest basics, including shredded jeans, a biker jacket, and black boots.

Now that's a killer look!

Happy valentines!xo...

Ladies who dress to impress.Who is it really for?

 Just this morning,I was preparing for school and i took thirty minutes just to dress up.Of course not because I'm slow.I put on the outfit I organised the night before: cropped jeans and a tank top.Well it didn't look so nice on me so I took them off and tried on different clothes,then I changed,then changed again.I only got out of the house because I was running late.If it wasn't for that,who knows how many times i would have changed,just to get a look that would totally satisfy me.

This is what inspired me to write this piece.Its an old debate but I just thought I would bring it up.Do ladies dress for guys ,themselves or for other ladies?I'm a little bit confused about the answer to this but we might as well look at all sides of the story.

Just like me,a lot of ladies take ages to dress up even though they might have taken out the clothes that they wanted to wear,the night before.On the other hand, men only take a few minutes as possible.The process is simple,jeans on,golf tee on and then their sneakers.It seems to me that all they care about is just to cover up their bodies.Unlike men,women consider clothing as a form of self expression and it is artistic in a way.This explains why they take time to put an outfit together.I think it is a combination of your mood or a function that you need to attend.Its a matter of what you feel comfortable wearing.However,as much as you might feel comfortable in a certain outfit,somehow at the back of your head you start asking yourself,do people like what I'm wearing?How will they react?What will they think of me?This is where dressing for other people comes in.

Women generally love turning heads.Suppose you are single and you want to go out with the hopes of meeting someone,will this affect how you dress?For me obviously it would.I would make sure I wear something that will grab their attention.Is this part of a mating ritual i wonder.I know a lot of my friends who wear jeans and tees at school during the day but when it comes to weekend nights,they switch into shorts or short dresses just to make an impression to other men who will be at the certain events that they went to.Women will go to the extent of hunting for latest magazine issues just to check the type of clothing that men consider to be "hot" on women.Guys barely do that.The sad thing is they will notice when you wear a tight fitting dress but when you wear those fashionable tops and pants,they might 

Lastly,women can dress for other women as well.This can be either for a positive or a negative effect.Starting wit the positive,women are interested in keeping up with the times.We love wearing the latest trends and show it off to our friends so that they pay us compliments and we feel great.My best friend and I always show each other our new clothes when we go for shopping.It's a great feeling knowing that other women envy what you are wearing.And there is nothing wrong with dressing to get compliments from your fellow women.

However,this can be used in a negative effect.Lets say you are invited to a party where you know you will bump into yo ex-boyfriend and his new hot girlfriend,would you wear the same old drowsy outfits in your wardrobe?Certainly you would want to pull up your socks and find something hotter that would make her feel jealous.There is nothing greater than having people admire what you are wearing

Do you think that women dress to look good,for male attention or just to outdo the other women?share your thoughts...!!!
