Trend Report 17: Jeggings

When I first heard of the 'jegging' trend in mid '09, when the only jeggins avalable were super overpriced, and slightly poorly-made. So, I waited a bit, and purchased a pair before they became mainstream and everyone and thier mother (litterally) were wearing them.

Here are some of my tips for rocking Jeggings without looking like you forgot your pants.

• ALWAYS wear a long top with jeggings, or else you will get a severe case of crotch-staring.
• Please, don't wear flip-flops.
• Even though I put flats in this example, it is best to wear boots with jeggings, because it IS leggings fabric, it can look awkward at the feet.
• Try to get jeggings with faux-jean accessories. Ex. Pockets, a zipper, ect.
• Jeggings were made for comfort, so stay comfy!
• If you wouldn't wear leggings normally, don't.
• Don't treat them like blue leggings. They are made to be faux jeans. Treat them as such. Don't wear them under a dress. Please.
• Balance the straight-legged look with a top with a touch of flare, and classic pieces.
• When picking out a top, remember: If it doesn't cover your crotch area, don't wear it.
• Remember, most of all: They may LOOK like jeans, but they are still leggings. Don't wear them everyday like you would your jeans. It's gross.

Clogs Are For Lovers

I have absolutely been loving the 70s comeback that's been happening lately, and the clogs are no exception. When Chanel and other top couture designers started showing clogs on the runway a year ago in their Fall 2010, I was less than impressed. But like any other trend, as it trickled from the runway and started in everyday wear, I started loving them. Here are some of the clogs that I've been loving lately. Plus, a few Wedges and just plain awesome vintage throwback shoes.

*links are under pictures :)

Urban Outfitters, $249

Jackie, You Own My Burkhart (Part 1, Season 7)

As you all know, I am addicted to 70's fashion, and at the heart of it all is Mila Kunis' character Jackie Burkhart of That 70's Show. Jackie is a spoiled princess cheerleader, and she is proud of it!

And since there are so many amazing outfits on this show, I'm going to post them by season, starting at Season 7 and counting down to Season 1. I'm just gonna skip Season * altogether, because, well frankly, nobody want to see that hot mess of a season. Some may have more than one post, some seasons may be posted together, we'll see. :)

So, lets start off with one of my favorites... *drumroll* Jackie's 'sailor' top from season 7, episode 4.

I love this outfit a little too much... I want to find this top right. now.

Next is from season 7, epsoide 3, her floral tank top.

Her peasant dress form the same episode is also a favorite.

Her cheerleading sweater from her "Say 'flowchart again'" moment from Season 7, epsoide 6 is amazballs, and I NEED it. :P

Jackie and I also have the same sense when it comes to dressing for a football game, because how she dressed for the Packers game is a similar to what I wear to Giants games.

And I love this dress from Season 7, episode 8, its sooo cute! :D (Please, ignore my fan-girling... You all should know by now that I'm a geek. :) )

In episode 9, Jackie dons the perfect Thanksgiving outfit to help Hyde open the record store at midnight.

Now... Let's all just take a second to appericate these AMAZING shoes that Jackie has on in episode 18.

Who would wear shoes that fierce to a car show with her boyfriend... Jackie Burkhart, that's who. :)

I could go on with the fabulousness of these outfits all day, but I 'm gonna keep this short.

Yes, this is short.

Have an awesome day, everyone! <3
