It should be no surprise that the next item featured in my Really Love My … are my Spanx leggings. Of all of the fashion brands on Sparkles & Shoes they are one to the most mentioned. And yes, while their famed shape wear is great under black tie gowns or make great pieces like this pencil skirt featured in this post. However, as the title suggests, today Is all about the .
I have had them in a few different sizes and unlike the faux leather leggings from the brand Commando, I have never ripped them. They have been a staple in every setting from casual office days to long haul flights. The only time I found them inappropriate was getting off the plane in Cairo, Egypt as women in any form of tight clothes get tons of unsolicited attention. So as long as you are not in a traditional Muslim country, by my account, they are great for nearly every setting!
I thought I had owned these for at least five years but looking back they made Best Purchases of 2019. They are available from a wide varitey of retailers including Bloomingdales and Nordstrom where they typically average $98. I wear them so much I think they are worth that price but if you do get the on sale you are in for an extra treat!
Do you own a pair?

Too funny, I just saw my first Spanx store with my boyfriend the other day. I had commented that I know you wear your Leggins all the time. He said don’t they just do underwear? I love how they’re branching out.

They are so versatile, comfortable and you have the body for them to not look skanky.
I would live in them if I were you. Sadly, I need to loose a few more pounds before I can pull off this look for day/night wear.

Happy New Year. How is Florida. Sorry Thailand didn’t work out for you and Mark. Stupid Covid rules cancelled that trip. For winter date night tomorrow I plan on wearing my Spanx Leather Leggings with a leopard mini skirt and killer high heel boots. Spanx is great for shape wear too. Spanx and heels are a great match for cooler weather. Spanx and sneakers work too from time to time.
