How To Wear: Leggings in Winter:::

I'll tell you a secret. After all my ranting and raving, I eventually gave in to the lure of footless tights.

In a fabric such as tweed, you can wear it with jeans or slacks and instantly look polished and put-together. The pencil skirt is another classic piece. In a neutral color like black, it´s professionaland feminine. Definitely get yourself an oversized leather tote; it´ll replace your backpack and be durable enough to last for years. And finally, it might be time to kick those sneakers to the back of the closet in exchange for a pair of cute flats
