Leggings are one item that is very in this winter. They are warm, cute and fun to mix and match. But not many people know how to properly wear them. By wearing leggings, you can either be a fashion do or a fashion don’t.
When wearing leggings it is important to think them more as tight than pants when accessorizing. This will help in the keeping the proper fashion conventions in mind when getting dressed. There are certain items that look great while others should be passed up all together.
Tunics and long tops
First off, when wearing a top or dress with leggings, you do not want it to be tight fitting. The silhouette you are going for is big on top and tight on bottom. This rule is different if you wear a top with a skirt, but we’ll get to that later.
Generally you want the tunic or long top to be above the knee and near the thigh region, but the top needs to at least cover your bottom. “Why can’t I wear short tops with leggings?” You can, but only if it is matched with a skirt. As I said earlier, leggings are to be treated like tights. Would you wear tights with a cropped sweater?
The shoes you generally want to wear with tunics or long tops are flats or pumps. This is a generally a more flattering look.
Skirts and dresses
With skirts you generally want to wear a cute casual top that is not long. Most people tuck their shirt into their skirt when wearing leggings. The sleeves on the top can be however you want, short or long.
Dresses can be pretty much anything you want. Typically you want the dress to a bit of a A-line but that isn’t really important. “Can I wear a sweater dress with leggings?” Absolutely, a sweater dress would look great with leggings, but if you do wear it, you will be limited in shoes. I suggest wearing only flats with a sweater dress and leggings. As for the sleeve length on the dress, it really isn’t an issue. Have a ball and wear short or long sleeves.
When wearing a skirt or dress, you have more shoe options than with tunics and long tops. They can be matched with flats, pumps or ankle boots. With the cold winter weather you are more likely to see people wearing ankle boots with their skirt or dress rather than flats or pumps.
One more thing to keep in mind is that your leggings should match at least one item in your outfit, whether it is the top, the skirt or whatever. And that pretty much covers all there is to know. Now that you understand the 101 of leggings, go and have a blast and prepare to look fabulous this winter.
It may seem like a cute idea at first but the truth of the matter is you might as well cut a hole in a blanket and wear in its place. The poncho is unfortunately making a comeback is becoming available in stores like Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters and to be frank, it just is not an attractive look.

One of the best ways to keep your toesies warm this winter is with a nice sexy pair of leather or suede boots. After all, it is a hot ticket item and there are many fun and different styles to choose from. Unfortunately a nice pair can be rather pricy, so it is vital to take care of your shoes. Suede should stay clear of water and snow all together, while standard leather should be dried off after getting wet. This should ensure that your shoes will stay looking great and last longer. 
I tried a new eye shadow by Too Faced and I am quite happy with the result. The pallette comes with 9 eye shadows, two brushes and several instructional cards to help you create the perfect smokey eye.
