House Of Jeffers Picks: Top 4 Etsy Shops for Leggings

It's no surprise that I favor a bold pant any day. Jeans will forever be a wardrobe staple, but I personally am a fan of dressing up my legs in something a little more... daring. The printed leggings and tights trend made their way into my heart last year, but I predict this will continue to blow up into 2013.

My favorite place for alternative legging and tights options is Etsy*. Check out my favorite Etsy picks featuring some of the best shops to find funky leggings, and be sure to visit these amazing shops.... and support the handmade movement!

Galaxy Print Leggings

Holy milky way! To say that I love these galaxy print leggings is not doing them justice!

What I'm Wearing:

Colorblock Top - Naked Zebra

Galaxy Print Leggings from Romwe.com (buy em here!)

Multi-Buckle Open Toe Wedges - DSW (BUT! You can buy the Surface to Air ones here!)

Quilted Chanel-type Bag - c/o Urban Expressions Handbags (buy it here!)

Rhinestone Tassel Necklace - Urban Outfitters (similar style here)

They are just BEYOND ANY type of printed pants I own. I love how there's so many variations of the galaxy print legging right now - cloudy prints in dark black and blues, shocking pinks and purples like tripped out meteor showers... They sorta remind me of something a hippy would wear if they hated hippies.

I'm aware that makes no sense whatsoever, but in the context of me... Well, I'm definitely not a tree hugger, but I am a hipster hugger so I guess these are apropos.

I took the liberty of annoying my husband by asking him to take photos of both angles of the leggings. Just for you.

Accessories 

Friendship Bracelet - Urban Outfitters - $3!

Vintage 1950s Watch - My grandmother's 

Silver Rhinestone Givenchy Bangle - Macys (get it here!)

Rings - Craft fair finds

I love a pair of comfortable leggings, and yes I am aware of the "cover your ass" rule if you wear them as pants. But since the print legging trend is huge right now, and so is galaxy print, I'm gunna wear these babies while they're hot.

Oh, and hope you like the new layout!

Friday Fashion Fix: Galaxy Chic

As you read this, a pair of limited edition galaxy print leggings I ordered from Romwe.com are on their way to me. I can't WAIT to slap em on!

And with fall coming up, you'll find me rocking pants  - a lot. Listen, as someone who shakes like a chihuahua when it's cold out, I'll take as many pants options as I can get. I was on the fence about buying the leggings, being that trends come and go, but I'm willing to take the risk for the $24 bucks I paid for em.

The one's below look similar, but you'll see... In the meantime, I'll have to create of outfits to wear em with... like the ones below.
