How to wear leggings/jeggings and not look pregnant

Dear Babyboomer women and other friends

We had our first of many open fires last night which smelled wonderful and was cosy after a cold rainy day.  Definitely out with the woolies in earnest.  Lots of leggings around which have evolved since they hit the market some years ago and now we have “jeggings,” which are just really tight-fitting jeans. 


I must admit to needing to wear a longer top if I wear tights as the tops of my legs do not match the glory of my firm muscular calves.  
How Not to Look Pregnant
When wearing leggings, it’s best to wear a top that can be cinched in at the waist or goes straight down to your hips and avoid flouncy tops with too high empire cut or yoking.  Leggings are cute with flats or heels, heels elongating the leg of course.  And of course with boots.
A few of Renotta's  fabulous creative tunics and neckpieces, to provide inspiration as to what to wear over leggings and jeggings.  http://www.shopatnextdoor.com/

  1. I need to know what you think is a cold, rainy day down under. Will you see snow and how do you feel about Russell Crowe in jeggings as Robin Hood? I love Robin Hood and Maid Marian.
