Work Those PVC Leggings!

How amazing do these girls look in those PVC leggings? I'm suddenly regretting that I returned mine. Okay, not really, because mine were too big. But I wish I was able to get a pair in my size.

Here is definite proof that PVC can be worn by anyone, as long as they have enough attitude. I love how the first girl paired hers with a dress and cardi for a great girly-tough contrast, while the second girl (Agathe from Style Bytes) paired hers with a black T and killer heels for a sort of rocker look. Of course, the girls' great legs don't hurt either. Jealous.

I'm Gettin' Lucky Tonight (Not in *That* Way)

I've been wanting a pair of metallic leggings for a while now. I know that you can get them at American Apparel, but I refuse to spend $40 for a pair of leggings. It's just too much. Anyway, when I was browsing the Mango sale today (which, by the way, is pretty damn good), I stumbled across metallic leggings! They come in silver and gold, although the only picture shown is copper, and they're on sale for only $13.99! There are also some leggings that look like the PVC leggings we've been seeing around on sale for $16.99. I just ordered the silver leggings and the black shiny ones. I feel amazingly lucky. Now, if only the gladiator sandals were reduced a bit more (I'm still looking for those).

PVC Leggings: Where Have I Seen Them in Fashion Before?

I've been hearing a lot of people talking about the joys of PVC leggings, and I have to say they look pretty cool when they're worn in a non-vampy, trampy way. (If you haven't caught on to the PVC legging craze, check out this post in Style Bubble.) However, since the minute I first set eyes on a pair of these babies, I couldn't help but wonder, "where have I seen these before?" Well, I finally figured it out. During season 3 of Project Runway (don't pretend you didn't watch), Jeffrey Sebelia created a black and white cocktail dress and paired it with a creation of a different sort, a creation that looked astonishingly like a cut up pair of PVC leggings. Hmmm. Was the trend brought on by Jeffery, or did other designers come up with the design on their own? Will we ever know the truth?
