Awesome leggings! I want to do these leggings justice, and I think I’ve got to sit with them for a bit. Just on the construction side, I’ve got new curves, and I got these leggings on the larger side after purging almost half my closet. It was time, and as I looked for my favorite bottoms on the internet, I realized how many pieces I liked were skewed to the tiny. I also wanted a piece without what I’ll call an over-elasticised waistband, opaqueness issues, a camel toe in the making, slightly perpetually short legs, a flared calf, and seams on the outside. I always go back to your leggings, mooning after the art and the construction. I love your art. It’s full of the abstraction, whimsy, excellent use of color, and good placement of detail in regards to the body as well as the concept, that I want all over my wardrobe. Still, here I was with maybe $250.00, and I wanted a nice wool sweater to survive the winter, and hopefully bolster my formal collection which languished without outerwear and tops. I asked myself if I could find two or three cheaper leggings that wouldn’t annoy me to death for the price of those beautiful red poppies I’d been stalking. Lo and behold, the world of leggings since their resurgence as a trend has gotten decidedly worse. I couldn’t find one non-black (let alone genuinely interesting) pair of leggings that ticked my boxes. What you do is a rare and precious thing. I said to myself, look you may end up wearing those poppies every day for a week, and you know you won’t regret it. Now, here I am, and no, I don’t regret it. In fact I can’t tell you how exciting it is to have on leggings that fit so well. There’s no camel toe, but also no bagginess anywhere. And the waistband? It fits like a dream. It comes up to the perfect height. It gently hugs me. It has true versatility in pairing with all kinds of tops. In that respect it was like wearing pants. Still, I was wearing silky smooth leggings with all the mobility I crave in my clothes. Anyway, maybe this is a mite dry for celebrating something that deserves poetry for the artwork printed onto it alone, but thank you. These leggings are going to be a highlight to my day for years to come.
