Adventure #6 – Leggings as Pants
January 22
The challenge: create a costume for a night on the town at two very different venues (aka “Rockstar Chic”)
- alternative rock scene at the Middle East in Cambridge
- swanky hipster scene at the Foundation Lounge in Boston
I know many folks have strong opinions about wearing leggings as pants, but I decided to take a chance on virgin territory. I paired my black leggings with a short-sleeved black v-neck sweater and knee-high black boots. I wish I had been brave enough to take pictures, because I was rocking those leggings!
Meghan, Spencer, AJ, and I went to see AJ’s brother’s band Muy Cansado at the Middle East. Although I wasn’t a fan of the bar (or being in grungy, hippie-filled Cambridge), the band was awesome! I get “itchy” if I spend too much time in Cambridge, so the highlight of the night, for me, was crossing the river into Boston to see DJ Matty D spinning at Foundation Lounge.
Botton Line: if you are looking for an ensemble that transcends opposite ends of the party spectrum, opt for leggings as pants! 🙂

I had a hard time visualizing what the deal was. Really needed pictures. I have been staring at anyone I see with leggings to figure out if I know what leggings really are.
