Girl, That is a SHIRT, Not a Dress

So, here's the story of the day, I'm really sick of seeing bitches on the street wearing this:
thinking that it's completely accceptable that their ass is hanging out JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE WEARING LEGGINGS.
fyi kids, leggings are not pants, and, while they are a comfortable alternative, your dress still needs to cover all the important bits, or you're walking around lookin like a hoochie, and thats just not ok. Also, most of the leggings I have seen/own are somewhat sheer. Not totally sheer, but opaque in a sheer sort of way... if you have leggings, you probably know what I mean (I hope). Being that these leggings are sheer, a girl has to realize that a certain amount of skin is going to be shown, leggings or no leggings. I cannot emphasize this enough.
THEN AGAIN, there are always those amoung us who are way too cool for leggings, and just throw on some boots and a slightly oversize sweater, and think that we're good to go. (see above picture)

Luckily for all the legging lovers out there (ME) there IS a classy and cute way to do this. You see exhibit A, with the white shirtdress and black leggings.
Then theres the hoochie way, with nil leggings, lookin like you just got all over it with your boyfriend, and walked out with his manly pink somewhat effeminite dess shirt on, because all of your clothes are currently sitting in his trash can, due to them having been ripped off. While thats definitly a part of this balanced breakfast now and again, and is hella fun to brag about to your girls over brunch (!), its also not acceptable daywear. Just sayin.

There is also the fact that if your dress/shirt is not long enough to cover your essentials, you run the risk of camel toe. You know that uncomfortable, akward, slightly disgusted feeling you get from seeing an old guy in tight bicycle shorts? Camel toe in leggings causes the same type of feeling. It's not good.

I am here to let you know that you are not good to go, and that you need to put on the aforementioned leggings, AND/OR a longer shirt/dress (pretty please with shiny things on top) OR, preferably, some jeans.

Remember kids, coverage is classy, and camel toe is not.

Love,

Lia
