Trend alert: Jeggings

With most fashionistas looking forward the end of leggings, jeggings were probably not expected in any way. The word Jeggings comes from jeans+leggings and is knit from cotton & spandex. They are rumored to be incredibly comfy and not as see-trough as most leggings (plus they have pockets!). I wasn't really sure about them, but Susie Bubble made me re-think on that when she wore a pair of beautiful floral ones from asos. Anyway, even when they're considered almost trousers, I think we should still be careful with pairing them as they're incredibly revealing because of the thightness factor. I would suggest going slouchy on top and wearing something long enough to cover at least half of your butt.

You can get any of the three first ones for £22 at Miss Selfridge and the floral on for £30 at Asos.

Would you wear them?

Yo quiero ser feliz de una manera pequeña. Con dulzura, con esperanza, con insatisfacción, con limitación, con tiempo, con perfección (Martin Adan).

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to" (Jim Jarmusch).

Propongo la idea del vestir como una práctica corporal contextuada a modo de marco teórico y metodológico para comprender la compleja relación dinámica entre el cuerpo, la ropa y la cultura. Este marco reconoce que los cuerpos están constituidos socialmente, que están siempre ubicados en la cultura y que el resultado de las prácticas individuales dirigidas al cuerpo, es decir, la «vestimenta», es el resultado de «vestirse» o de «estar vistiéndose». Examinar las influencias estructurales sobre el cuerpo vestido requiere tener en cuenta las restricciones históricas y sociales del mismo, limitaciones que influyen sobre el acto de «vestirse» en un momento dado" (Joanne Entwistle).
