I joined the leggings craze as quickly as it came back on the scene after a 20 year hiatus despite parts of me that screeched "no no no, not leggings again!" I caved in because this time around they are much much prettier and the fabric now is a helluva lot better, too.  If you must know, I graduated high school in '87 so I was smack dab in the middle of the stirrup leggings craze-- there are more photos of me in stirrups with pumps than I care to count (stirrups were just so wrong!).

One of my favorite leggings right now is a pair I got by David Lerner; it has zippers so they actually look like pants and not just a pair of tights pretending to be pants. But what I love about them is the fit. The cotton/spandex mixture will hold you in like Kira in Zanadu!

They are really pricey for leggings (considering I've been wearing $19.99 Mossimo for Target leggings) but really worth it!    $108 at Singer22.com

I've been slowly acquiring pieces from The Row each season; they transition effortlessly through the next seasons so you'll actually keep and wear them over and over! MK and Ashley's line contains basics that we all need and love pulling on without thought. How easy is it to get dressed when you've got the perfect V neck shirt ($550) to throw on with a pair of slim pants ($590) and a tiny little leather jacket ($2,750)!?!? I want to live in this uniform this spring! I'll rock it with flats for day (yes, I'm slowly giving in to the flats, ballet or gladiator) and towering heels for night. This is a simple look you can take anywhere. At Barneys New York stores and online here.

I am currently obsessed with LnA, a line started merely a year ago by two best friends in LA, Lauren Alexander and April Leight. The line has every staple I need to wear with clothes in my existing wardrobe. Take these leggings for example, they are perfect to layer under sweaters and boots or one of my many coats. But when I go home to see family in LA, I can throw them on over a pair of flip flops or gladiator sandals. Easy! Sure the brand is trendy Hollywood but at only $99 a pop for the leggings-- I'll take trendy. The Olsen twins charge $500 for similar leggings from the Row but I like LnA's version so much better. The stretch cotton has a slight metallic shimmer, wide elasticised waist band and a touch of equestrian detail (the patch at the inside of the knees will control knee fat, sagging knees, and other knee issues).

So tell me, are you still rocking skinny pants?
