A love letter to leggings
We?ve all slept in this morning and I?m still groggy from my 453rd straight night of bad sleep thanks to children. With less than 15 minutes to get everyone dressed, fed and out the door, I stagger into my closet and there, in a pristine line, hang my beloveds: Twelve (or so) pairs of black leggings.
I grab a pair?any pair, it really doesn?t matter?and a T-shirt, and I?m instantly dressed, without having put any real thought into it. Which is the point. I don?t have time to think, and yet I don?t want to look like my four-year-old dressed me (I let her do that once, with unfortunate results. It involved a California Raisins sweatshirt).
My treasured collection of leggings has come to me from all over: Target, Costco, Joe Fresh, my mom?s closet. Some still have that ?new leggings? smell. Others are 15 years old. Each pair seems to have been woven with magic fabric that gives them lifelong wearability. (Which is perfect, because I would rather get dental surgery than go shopping for new clothes, so ?lifelong wearability? is a fashion must).
