leggings & dresses

I'm used to wear leggings under short dresses, not only for the interesting layering, but also for comfort. It's an easy way to avoid my legs rubbing, and I can sit on wherever I want, steps, banks or public transports seats!. I own a lot of viscose leggings, it's a really cooling fabric, so much better than usual cotton fabrics!.
And I'm wearing for the first time a purple printed dress, purchased on sales just for a few euros!. Waiting for last time opportunities sometimes results in good bargains!

Tengo costumbre de llevar leggings debajo de los vestidos cortos, no sólo porque la superposición me parezca interesante, sino sobre todo por comodidad. Es la forma más fácil de evitar las rozaduras, y puedes sentarte donde te dé la gana, escalones, bancos o asientos en los transportes públicos!. Tengo un montón de leggings de viscosa, un tejido muy fresco, mucho más que el punto de algodón que suele ser más habitual.
Y estoy estrenando un vestido estampado morado, que conseguí en las rebajas muy barato. A veces esperar a la última hora en rebajas proporciona muy buenas oportunidades!

    1. i also wear pettipants under skirts, in the summer to avoid rubbing, in the winter over my tights to avoid they stick to fabric and move my skirts all around my waist!, pettipants are fabulous!

  6. I love your bold graphic dress! Fantastic outfit, even better when it's self-made. You definitely have the EYE. And I agree about leggings. They really give me confidence when wearing something to MOVE. Your purple outfit also proves that even though it's hard to hold on for the sales, it's certainly worth it.

  9. Leggings under short frocks are simply marvellous aren't they? Today I was rummaging around on my hands and knees in an op shop looking for vintage coat hangers and it took me a few seconds to realise I was wearing a very short dress. But ... I was also wearing leggings ... nothing to see here people! HA!!!! xoxoxo
