Tunic, Leggings and Boots...The Cover Story

Tunic and Leggings Got You Covered?

I haven't worn a tunic and leggings on the blog in quite awhile. My last post with tunic and leggings was here and that's quite awhile ago.  To be honest, I'm always a bit worried when I wear this look that it is age appropriate and that I'm "covered" in all the right places. 

This tunic is just a hair shorter than the tunic in my earlier post. I am also wearing leggings that are a bit thinner although they are fleece lined for warmth. 

I'm not a fan of showing "back views" but, as you can see, the bum is covered. I have always read that it is important that ladies of a "certain" age make sure the derriere is covered when wearing tunics and leggings. Oh my goodness, let's get to another image quickly!

Part of my hesitation with wearing leggings with a tunic comes from the "dress code" teachers have at school. We were asked at one school not to wear leggings except under a skirt.  So, I have typically worn this tunic with slacks. I  do love the color combination, though, of the purple/mauve tunic with the color of the leggings. I'm not sure what color to name the leggings. What do you think? There are lots of flecks of "sparkly" colors on the tunic ruffle around the neckline and hints of grey and rose throughout this tunic. So, I could wear many different colors of leggings with this top. The tunic was purchased on sale at Cracker Barrel, as was the tunic in the earlier post. I love waiting for their 40%+ off sales and shopping for clothes then at Cracker Barrel. There are great bargains to be found there!

I want you to see a better close-up of the buckle on these knee high slouch boots purchased at Stein Mart. They are quite comfy with the flat sole. I have worn these all day on several occasions and done just fine.  I'll share the brands below for you to browse if you like. 

Because the tunic ruffle was already pretty "blingy" I didn't want to overdo with jewelry. So, I chose a pair of Paparazzi earrings to complete the look. Now that I'm retired, I don't have to worry about "dress codes" so I may be sporting this look a bit more often. These particular leggings are very comfortable. They were purchased at Walgreens. I will say that I purchased another pair that day in black that had raised designs down the leg. When I wore them I was driven crazy pulling them up all the time! Very uncomfortable!! These particular leggings are not like that all. They stay at the waist where they are supposed to stay. Don't know why there was such a difference. As I recall, there were two different brands that I purchased. I do know that you can't always go by the size information on the package. I tend to go up a size to make sure the fit is comfortable. 

So, do you enjoy wearing tunics and/or leggings? Do you prefer another look? I can't wait to hear your thoughts, so I do hope you will take a moment to leave a comment. If the questions don't appeal....just talk to me!  Your comments make my day! 

Until Next Time,
