Real Momma, Real Style #9

Time to jump off the edge….LEGGINGS!!!

Dress/Leggings/Belt: Target, Undershirt: Downeast Basics, Wedges: Old Navy, Bracelets: H&M
After looking through all your KILLER outfits from last week, I realized it was really time to jump on the legging train. I’ve had these sitting in my closet for weeks waiting to be worn with my “awesome but slightly shorter than LJ approved” shirt dress.
My trusty photographer was a bit under the weather….sorry for the lack of photos :(
I was even happier with the leggings when no more than 10 minutes after putting the dress on I ripped the bottom button hole picking up an LJ toy. Great.

Now I understand why soooooo many momma’s wear leggings :)

Party Rules:
-Please link up to a specific post, not just your blog main page.

-Please add the Real Momma, Real Style button to your post, sidebar, links page, just somewhere.
-You DON’T have to be a momma to link up! I want to see what EVERYONE is rockin’!
-Go visit someone! We all need some love :)

Momma Go Round

    love the shirt dress…so cute! the leggings seem like such a great momma saver, might have to give those a shot.

  3. Christy @ pureMotherhood says:

    I almost jumped on the legging bandwagon this week too but then realized I don't have much to go with black leggings and I didn't see other colors at Target. Plus, I really don't have many dresses to wear with them and since I'm 5 months pregnant and have TONS of maternity clothes already, couldn't justify spending the money.

    I love, love, love leggings. So many cutie dresses these days barely cover your fanny! Leggings are a great way to wear them and not feel like a hooch. ;) Or at least that's my excuse. tee hee You look adorable in them- and boo to snagging your button!

    You look super cute! Love the shoes too (wishing I wasn't so tall…). I, too, have had a hard time taking the leggings plunge. Maybe I'll give them a try this spring.

    Legging are the bomb!! I have a billion pairs!! I love them with dresses, around the house, I even sleep in them sometimes!!
    New York & Company's are my fav kind.. cheap and they aren't see through. Come in both crops and regular styles AND fits me great!

  17. DaenelT says:

  19. Dave'sWife@{thediaryofdaveswife} says:

    Nina,You.ARE.DARLING. I love checking out your blog just to see what you are wearing. I finally had the guts to take a pic of myself to share this week! EEK!

  20. Stephanie says:

    I love it! It makes me want to try out some leggings!

  21. The WholeFamDamily says:

    you are the cutest, you are branching out more and more and it is paying off! i love the army green color and i reallyyyyyy need to find longer top/dresses like yours to wear with leggings, my tops aren't quite long enough so i feel self-conscious instead of relaxed in my leggins!! ;D cute outfit and i adore the shoes!!

  22. Miss Redneck says:

    Your legs look awesome!!!

  23. gin says:

    Okay, okay. I have been far too scared to try leggings but you may have just inspired me to try!
    Thanks!

  24. Cami says:

    Yay for leggings!!! They are the greatest thing. Sadly I wear them at least 4 times a week.
    They look great on you, you rock them well. And that shirt dress is super cute

    I am so glad you tried the tights. They took me a long time to try too, but once I did I was hooked. They comfort is undeniable. I love the shirt dress; they are one of my favorite types of dresses.

  26. Cori says:

    leggings are seriously the best invention for dresses and mothers. Ever.

    la vie petite

  27. Mrs. H says:

    yes!!! welcome to the leggings club! once you're in, you will never leave :)

  28. Sarita says:

    lol … I'm in agree-ance with the legging train. LOVE IT! They're like sexy sweatpants!

  29. Sherri @ Design2Shine says:

    I had reservations about leggins, but finally tried them out and love it. Only have a few pair but they are on my list of items to grab while on sale or clearance! LOVE this look with sandals!

  30. Paige says:

    Hello! Just found you over at the Pleated Poppy…so happy to link up with you!

  31. Caitlin {Pacifier In My Pocket} says:

    I love leggings! I put off buying a pair forever because I was nervous about them. Now I don't know how I lived without them!

    They look great on you!

  32. Moriah says:

    Hi there! I'm hopping over from The Pleated Poppy and thought I'd link up with you, too! I'm also a mom (and pregnant with another) and definitely find it hard to dress myself fashionably at this stage in my life – these weekly wardrobe link ups have definitely challenged me to find pieces that make me feel good but comfortable while running around with the little one all day!

  33. Krissy says:

    leggings are great! I found the need to wear some today! I keep trying tops/dresses on like the one you have when im shopping and never like them on me, but i love them and want one!!!!

  34. Babes and Sages says:

    Great Linky Party! I am linking up for the first time and am also your newest follower :)
    Come follow me back @ http://babesandsages.blogspot.com

  35. melody-mae says:

  36. Morgan says:

    Love the outfit! Adorable dress, great leggings, and those wedges are to die for on you! Gorgeous!

    PS I keep meaning to link up to real momma, real style. Yikes! I definitely will this Monday!

  37. Heather :: AFD Jewelry :: says:

    Awesome outfit – you look great!

  38. crystal b. says:

    You really look sophisticated in this, and yet it's such a fun look! I'm inspired.

    How tall are you??? I'm wondering if I dare give them a try. It makes me nervous though since I'm old. I don't want to look like someone who's trying to be forever 16.

  39. Eisley Rae Clothing says:

    You look GREAT! You should be so proud of yourself for taking that leap. Good for you!
