June 25, 2012

There’s something so comfy about a pair of leggings and an easy lightweight blouse. I tested out the jegging thing with these purple pants and I have to say I’m a fan. The pockets and zipper add my favorite jean functionality to the legging’s softness. It seems like a perfect match! I added a longer tank underneath my blouse to make sure I was really comfortable.

blouse {similar}, tank Free People, pants c/o Denimocracy {similar}, clutch Heather Belle, cuff c/o Karen London {in rose gold}, watch Michael Kors, necklace J.Crew, sunglasses Urban Outfitters, shoes Old Navy {similar}

Denimocracy is offering one reader a pair of their Anarchy Knit Leggings. I love this purple pair because I think it will transition perfectly into Fall, but there are a ton of great colors to chose from! Leave a comment below with your favorite color and I'll pick the winner next Monday July 2nd! UPDATE: The winner is Holly Dolly! Congrats!

Have a great Monday!

  63. I love the black, because as often as I travel I can never have too many pairs of black jeggings to sit on planes for upwards to 14 hours at a time.

  88. I dislike leggings very much, except when they are wear properly with a dress or something. Like this i really don't like it, it's not classy i find this style to be a bit cheap. Anyways, you always look so sharp that's why I'm surprised.
