I did something today that I never NEVER thought I'd do. I handed over my credit card to a sales assistant at a department store and voluntarily parted with cash for, wait for it... a pair of pleather leggings (look like leather but are far tighter and very shiny)!!! This piece of info from the girl who HATED peddle pushers, refused to wear standard black lycra leggings and was addicted to boot leg jeans. Being of a the curvy-thighed tribe, I never expected to own a pair of skinny jeans – FYI I now own two pairs of grey 'a la Kate Moss' skinnies that are my standard 'I dunno what to wear' default. I wear them with boots, I wear them with flats, I wear them with a blazer to work and with a casual tunic-style top to play. I should've seen the warning signs when I became a skinny jeans convert... I was only a hop, skip and a twelve-step programme away from really wanting the trend that's been labelled 'liquid leggings'... Rhianna, Khloe, Heidi, Li
