Definatalie wrote this the other day, and I wanted to share it here because it really struck a chord with me.I love leggings because they're cute and comfortable, but every time I put them on I have a debate with myself about whether to leave the house wearing them.
Not because I felt unattractive (quite the opposite, actually), but because to wear leggings as a fat girl is a political statement, and I have to decide if I'm ready to deal with the hateful backlash that might come with walking out my front door and into the general public.
Today, I wore leggings, thank-you-very-much.

Yes!! Good choice! You look great!!
(Personally, I don't think leggings are flattering on super-skinny girls, anyway...)
Rock it, girl! I started following Fatshionista a few months ago and it's amazing.
Thanks!
Katherine: I think the most flattering outfits are the ones we feel confident in. :)
Cassie: I love Fatshionista too. Isn't the internet great? I wish I'd had access to all these great blogs when I was in high school and hiding behind baggy t-shirts and jeans.
To me, you look like you stepped off the (virtual) pages of academic chic (www.academichic.com).
On a somewhat related note, have you seen this site: http://uiucnopants.com/. They make fun of *everyone* in leggings :)
