I'm a 20something professional pedant who lives in London. Join me as I attempt to juggle working nights with any kind of social life, write a novel (ha!) and wonder when I'll start feeling like a grown-up.
I can't believe that! Galatea, you'll only wear them at home, won't you? Mind you, judging by a strange fashion seen at Canary Wharf last week, the leggings under skirt look appears to be inexplicably popular again.
I had a fantastic pair of bright yellow leggings in 1986. I looked like I'd been dipped in custard. Does this mean that those legging-clad overweight mothers doing the school run are the epitomy of catwalk cool?
There is only one thing that has stayed with me through the years when I have mused on what, one day when I am invited on'Room 101', I would send away. And that is legging. No-one looks good in leggings. You're either too fat or too shapeless.
I thought for a moment i had been transported back to the late 80s, lol :) my mates were telling me how leggings are set to make a comeback... i so haven't got the legs for clingy material like that, though... i shall have to resign myself to a future of being an out-of-date denim queen me thinks

I will only wear them at home, I promise. Well, maybe at the gym... Assuming I ever join the gym.
But normal fashion rules do not apply at the gym, I believe - like when you go on a family holiday.

There IS NO in-between....
Ah, but I have the thighs of a baby gazelle. If only the same could be said of the rest of me.
Now speaking of leggings. How will you tell your mother in law without hurting her feelings. That you wouldn't want to have her used leggings.

Hmm, denim. I can't really understand why I like the leggings, yet think that skinny jeans are the work of Beezlebub himself.
