The Verdict: Mango Leggings

Well, the leggings arrived in the mail today. I ordered them the night before last night, and I selected standard shipping, so I didn't expect to get them so fast! Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I'm returning both pairs. There's nothing wrong with them exactly, but a combination of little things have made it pretty clear that I should send them back. First of all, it turns out I'm an extra small at Mango (I ordered a small after referencing the sizing chart), which never even ocurred to me. I actually liked how the too-large PVC leggings looked. They bagged around my knees in this oh-so-casual, why-yes-I-am-cool kind of way. But...too large PVC leggings make an awful amount of noise. Too be honest, I would be embarassed about that every time I wore them. And there are no extra small leggings left for sale. As for the silver leggings, they weren't exactly what I was expecting. They were silver, but not the bright, shiny silver of American Apparel leggings...more like a soft, shimmery, greyish white. They were nice, though. But too big.

I'm thinking I might want to return both pairs and get the gladiator sandals instead, but if they don't fit, I'll have wasted a bunch of money on shipping. I can't decide.

Sorry...that was a hugely boring post. I just wanted to give you the verdict on the leggings in case you wanted to buy them. So, if you do want to buy them, now you know what to expect. And make sure to get a size or two smaller than usual.

thats the problem with you order online specially with clothing and the time you dont know your size.but just in case you can have it tailor in a tailoring shop that is near to you.
