let me first start off by saying that i did not intend for this to be the topic for today, but i received my order from nordstrom in the mail and i am in absolute love.
leggings. until recently, i've HATED them. i finally found the perfect pair of black leggings and i have been more open minded towards incorporating them into my outfits.
enter denim leggings. i honestly never thought i would EVER IN MY LIFE buy denim leggings. but i saw a pair of jolt leggings (which winona of daddy likey calls "jeggings" haha :p) .. and i fell for them. i ordered them but figured that they would look rediculously awful.
to my surprise...they didn't. they look effing awesome.
jolt 'pick me up' stetch denim leggings
found here
they look like ACTUAL jeans and they feel more like stretch/sweat pants. like, you can actually sit down comfortably with them. they have a fake "fly" but there's only a button, no zipper. i also have been blessed with a generously sized rear (thank you ms. kardashian for making these a bit more in style :P) and they look ten kinds of awesome. they highlight the areas that i want highlighted and don't focus on the areas that i want to disguise. oh, and they don't pinch areas that do not need to be pinched.
also, another thing that i promised myself was that i would NEVER wear leggings without a long top to cover my tushy. with these, i really wouldn't worry. they look so much like actual denim that you don't really need to cover your tush. it's all personal preference i guess, but i'm very comfortable with them.
all in all, I LOVE THESE THINGS. i immediately ordered another pair and also in the grey wash. i can't testify for other denim leggings, but these..damn, i love em.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT DENIM LEGGINGS?

My sisters have a pair of denim leggings from Hot Topic and they are CUUUUUUTE!
They don't look like denim jeans in the front though...well with the button and such like those above.
i love them! such a great find
I adore the idea, but to date I haven't found a pair that sat high enough on my waist and that didn't have an icky waist band. I may try these though.
denim leggings might just work! and if they work for a big ass, sign me up!
p.s. thanks kim k and j lo for helping out with the big ass acceptance thing. :)
I think I need some to wear with oversized sweaters when it finally gets cold here!
I think you just sold me! I want some!
they look really flattering! I can't believe they're leggings!
those leggings look like real skinny jeans which i live in! i'm not into denim leggings yet but give it some time i might fall into it too!
they looks good!!!
hated them to start off with! but i have now seen how people have styled them etc and now they dont seem that bad! x
I've been hearing alot about the denim leggings & have also seen them up close. I think I may give them a whirl. With the winter fast approaching, I can totally see myself wearing these tucked into tall boots with a long comfy sweater. I like it!
Gorgeous jeans, darling!
Love the legging jean so!

I have a hard time finding skinny jeans that fit, so I'm considering jeggings (thick ones) as an alternative
Actually, the thing that I love about jeggings is that you don't have to wear a long top to cover up the bum because they look nearly identical to true jeans. These ones look gorgeous - adoring the contrasting stitching! :)
my friend has been rocking jegging but i have not yet but am thinking about it.
oh i've been wanting a pair like that for a while but havent seen any around the mall yet!! they look realy nice :D i wouldn't wear leggings with a short top either, since some leggings gives a camel toe lol
Marshalls has a lot with the button. They are very comfortable and look like a great pair of fitted jeans.
I love these. I found them today at Marshall's for $20 but I would have paid up to $50 for these! I am 5'9 and my weight fluctuates between 145 and 150 (in other words, I'm very curvy) but these still look great! No muffin top either (unlike other skinny jeans).
The BEST selection of leggings I have found are at Hot Hollywood Designz
