Yep. They’re awkward.
I mean, just think about the NAME of these things: faux leather leggings . Or in other words, those not-quite-pants-but-not-tights that you have to pour yourself into cuz they’re tight as death and completely unforgiving and you thought bootie wedgies were bad until you got one in the front while wearing these bad boys… mmmyeah. Not a very reassuring combo.
Aaaaaand yet I have a big raging crush on them.
But what are YOUR thoughts?

Girl, they’re only awkward when you try faux leather leggings and they look terrible. That is not the case for you- they look great on you! And I love that F21 necklace!
Every time I see these in the store I tell my husband I want them! And now I want them ever more seeing them on a real person. He thinks I am all sorts of crazy… but I neeeeed them!
I for one think they look great on you and not gonna lie, I am a little jealous about it!!! Just found your blog and so happy I did…following along now!

And HOOOOORRRRRRRAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY to meeeeeee for winning!!! Thanks ShnayNay!!
I thought I was the only one! Ugh…putting them on with wedged boots just never works! I tried this too about a week or so ago on my blog, and felt like my legs were just…stumpy? Who knows. Leather leggings are hard to pull off, but I love your outfit especially the buttoned-up top!

you are nice Brittany. Remember when my legs kinda look stumpy too but i just roll wit it? 😉 xoxo
I love the leggings they are super hot on you! I love the tops, too. I just don’t love them together. I feel like the leggings are sassy and the shirts are preppy. It seems like an outfit mash-up to me. I like mash-ups though, maybe this will grow on me? 🙂
I love the PU pants on you! I like how you mixed genres and pulled them together cohesively. You hit a homer.
I have such a crush on these too! Unfortunately my stubby legs are not made for them. You however look amazing! You totally pull them off!
