That One Pair of Pants…
You know that one pair of pants you own that you really love? You think they look great with everything, they’re comfortable, and you can even count on them to keep you warm in cold weather? If you don’t own a pair of pants that you feel that way about, ummm.. you kinda totally should, you weirdo.
This pant is that pair that I feel that way about this fall. As you might already know, I’m almost strictly an online shopper, so when I purchased this item online, I didn’t read the description as clearly as I thought I did. When they arrived, I was surprised to find out that they were a pant and not a legging. I adore leggings (ahem, see previous post), so intially I was kinda disappointed (and cursing myself that I didn’t read the item description more thoroughly). But then I tried these babies on. Pfft, screw them not being a legging. Not only did I love the look of them on me, they were comfortably thick. With the fall season beginning and winter to soon follow, I was stoked thinking about how great these pants will be at looking great and keeping me warm and fuzzy.
I purchased this pant in a medium size at ModCloth.com. They’re called the “Rockin’ Around Pants” and you can find them here. They’re currently out of stock in all sizes and there’s no telling when and if ModCloth will restock them. If you’re feening for a pair similar to this as far as fit and plaid print goes, I did a little searching and found these following badass pairs that I think you’ll love:
Fashion MIC Women’s Skinny HoundsTooth Plaid Pants
Hot Topic Royal Bones Split Leg Plaid Skinny Pants
[BLANKNYC] Womens Plaid Jean, Tartin Martin, 25
Sanctuary Clothing Women’s Plaid Grease Legging Pant
Here are just a few ways I styled that one pair of pants. These are gonna look effing cute with winter jackets and accessories.
Top: Tarman tee by Fright Rags (it comes in a women’s and men’s fit tee, I just cut mine into a tank).
Shoes: Shiekh Womens Meow-S Casual Flat – Black Size 5.5
Or you can try T.U.K. Women’s A8542L Ballet Flat.
Necklace by the incredible IamSkullsNBones. Check out her Etsy shop for unique, handmade gothic jewelry. I love her jewelry so much, I’ll be writing a post just on her jewelry soon.
My usual favorite shoes to wear: Dr. Martens Women’s 1460 Originals Eight-Eye Lace-Up Boot
And if you haven’t already checked it out, see my post about buying these babies online.
Oh leggings, oh leggings!
Dear leggings, I adore you!
You’re so comfortable. You’re like a second skin.
Your styling possibilities are endless. Whether you’re solid in color, printed, or patterened, you offer sleekness, a pop of color, dimension, baddassery, etc. I simply love you, leggings!
My personal favorite way to style most of my leggings is to pair them with my Dr. Martens Women’s 1460 Originals 8 Eye Lace Up Boot. Obviously, I’m pretty in love with my Docs. If you haven’t ever tried any on and you’re interested in purchasing a pair, check out my post about finding your size when buying online, finding them for the best price, style ideas, and more.
I’m wearing some incredible skeleton print leggings that I found on HotTopic.com. Unfortunately, I don’t see them in stock anymore!! I think their summer clearance prices wiped these babies out. But, I’ve purchased leggings from both RedExtend and Pink Wind and the quality and price are pretty awesome and the prints are beautiful! Check out their collections here:
RedExtend Women’s Digital Print Skeleton Bone Skull Tight Stretch Leggings
Women Galaxy Digital Print Thick Stretch Leggings
Jewelry: Forever 21
Dress: Asos
Who doesn’t love zombies these days?! You can’t go wrong with rotting, walking corpses who want nothing more than to eat brains. I mean, it doesn’t get more cute and cuddly than that, right?
I absolutely LOVE this zombie print legging by LoveLiness!!
The colors, the design of the zombie heads, the sheen! They’re only $15, too.
And last but not least to be featured.. My favorite Nightmare leggings! Jack on one leg and Sally on the other? Yes, please!! I bought these leggings on HotTopic.com and after reviewing their site just now, I see that they’re no longer there either!!! Check these out as an alternative, but otherwise, keep checking back with Hot Topic. I hope they restock these soon, I want to buy another pair as a gift.
Happy legging shopping, beauties. <3 <3 <3
