I was really late to catch up on the trend, which is probably like a year old, that's why I begged my mom to let me buy a miniskirt. B4 the whole legings thing my mom would never let me look at a minskirt when were shopping. I ended up buying a mini + leggings and was planning to wear it on the 1st day of school. Is this a good idea or would i end up looking like the fashion disaster i can always be when i try to go for a look diffrnt than the usual [jeans + tee]? What i fear the most is what evry 1 else is gonna say. School starts in 2 wks and i cant make up my mind. The 1st day is one of the only days i get to look especially nice. The outfit i was planning to wear looks nice w/ or w/o, IMO. I have to wear the mini and leggings to school or my mom would deem me as wasting her money. This isnt the 1st time i would look at something and say "Oh,that's cute" and buy it and wear it to school, to then realize its not that cute of a shirt or whatever and never wear it again. Like last year when i bought a bright pink cropped hoodie/sweatshirt... Lets just say that color pink was definetly not my color.
Anyways, what should i do?
more_than_a_feeling answered Monday August 21 2006, 9:24 pm: Personally, I'm pretty sick of the leggings trend. Because they totally kicked ass when they first came out...like I'm the first person out of people I know that wore them. I still like the trend but it's like everywhere and I'm guessing skinny jeans and miniskirt/leggings will be all anyone wears the first day of school. So if I were you, I'd pick something different to wear. [ more_than_a_feeling's advice column | Ask more_than_a_feeling A Question ]
TheHeadHonchoPoncho57 answered Monday August 21 2006, 3:41 pm: Definitely not a fashion disaster. The look is totally in right now. Not my style at all, but if that's what you like, go for it. However, I wouldn't really say that the mini and leggings is "different," seeing that 1 out of 5 girls I see everyday happen to be wearing it...

BecauseYouLivex3 answered Monday August 21 2006, 2:17 pm: Thats what im gonna be wearing on the first day of school. Unless its to hot I have a backup outfit. But honestly that trend hasnt gone out. & Belive me you`ll look cute. Like I bought a pair of brown ones & im wearing a jean miniskirt with some brown in the back & im wearing a brown tanktop with brown flip flops. Dont wear to much different colors because then it`ll look kinda stupid. So whatever color leggins you bought I would wear the same color shirt. A little off isnt horrible or anything. But belive me if you match it nicely togther you`ll look cute. Hope I helped <3 [ BecauseYouLivex3's advice column | Ask BecauseYouLivex3 A Question ]
sunnyville answered Monday August 21 2006, 1:55 pm: A mini skirt with leggings on is on style now so I don't see why something is wrong with that,I believe everyone is entitled to wear what they feel looks good on them,if people say bad things about how you dress it's because they're simply jealous,that's all you have to say to yourself, and you want to wear it go ahead it's your choice no one else's.

LoveNJstyle answered Monday August 21 2006, 12:42 pm: so basically a jean skirt & leggins? as long as the colors kinda go together [which i'm pretty sure they do...you can't really go wrong with jeans] i say go for it. i think it's really cute and actually i wore that just the other day when i went out with my friends. if you really can't make up your mind, keep the tags on. if your mom gets a refund, she won't mind, know what i mean? i don't think you can go wrong with that outfit. pick a cute top with it and you are good to go. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
thelaura answered Monday August 21 2006, 12:20 pm: I always wear skirts and leggings, because I happen to like that style.
I think you should go for it! and see how you feel. and see people's reactions.You're just probably not used to it at the moment.
Team up the skirt and leggings with some pumps. [I feel heels/flipflops can be a bit too overpowering.]
and if you don't feel comfortable, then maybe it's just not for you and explain this to your mum. Just next time, be 100% sure before you spend her money! ;]
But best of luck for the first day back. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
MassieBlockx3 answered Monday August 21 2006, 12:15 pm: ok, this past winter i bought brown leggings and a miniskirt from Hollister. But you can wear leggings with a skirt all year round. it just depends on what you put them with, i think the best would be with flip flops and not heels or boots (wear heels and boots in the winter with leggings) and then make sure your legging match your shirt and you don't have all different colors on.
