To people who should know better;
I would say, ‘remember that leggings are mainly tights.’
Worn with a short top,
Especially if it’s cropped;
Gives everyone around such a fright.
I’d also further suggest,
To people who should know best;
That pink shiny leggings may not be very kind.
If you are short and stumpy,
Or rather round and dumpy;
A sausage is the only thing that really springs to mind.
Normal posts will resume soon!

Yesterday while stuck in traffic in a nearby tourist town, we had the distinct pleasure of observing a woman on the back of a motorcycle wear black leggings with a quite wide swath of lace down the outside of each leg. Yeah.
Very funny! Why do people try to wear unflattering things? I don't know.
giggling away... u cud have been so nasty.. but your gentle advice should def be heeded!
Great poem and sooooo true!
Agreed. Best reserved for principal boys in pantomimes but only if they have good legs.
haha love it (and sooooo true)!!
the pork links are a good analogy.
Haha, great poem!
Hmm leggings and crop tops, why are they even back at all, they were extremely unflattering in the 80s/early 90's. Why do people do these things to themselves? :)
Don't these people have a mirror in their house? Or are they so delusional that they think they are hot...LOL
Normal posts are not I loved this, made me giggle! Thanks for sharing Jayne, I always enjoy stopping by!
That was hilarious, and so cute!
Jayne, you do know you got an award at my blog right?

Jayne - you wanna come to Glasgow for fashion-extravaganza. We are the fat-people of the Western World and believe me, a morning in Central Station (train depot) reveals all sorts of hilarious fashion blunders (the Muttie Woman nothwithstanding).
Milt xx
Pink shiny leggings on plumpy old legs? No way! Do they dress in the dark, or what?
LOL!!
I consider myself short and stumpy and today have worn my black leggings and red top that floated down to my knees!
:-) It's taken me all these years to perfect that look!
take care

Oh, but the poetry is so fun. Well done ;-)
I love this; I am short and don't want hot dog legs...nah! Funny~
Great fashion sense arriving in poem...loved it! ;-D
L. O. L!!!! Oh, this is too funny! And true! I need this posted, well, all over the place!!!

I did enjoy this - even though I rarely wear legging, and never pink shiny ones.
Have a nice day, Boonsong
Pink shiny leggings may not be kind...especially to those with a big behind, haha! Sorry...couldn't resist that!
*giggles* Oh, the things we delude ourselves into wearing. It's why I prefer to just forego the clothes altogether.
So true. And funny. I have an award for you at my blog.
LOL, too funny and absolutely true! It should be law that pink shiny leggings can't be sold without a
wardrobe mirror.
Like Carol, I have a couple of awards for you (hope they're not the same ones!). Swing by my blog if you get the chance. :)
LOL. Normal or a lunch time spotting. I love your blog, and I can't stop giggling :) Hope you are well
Ah ha ha ha! Love this!
Leggings are SO wrong on certain people. And don't even get me started on jeggings!
LOL, but it is a sight that is clearly inspirational!
Hilarious!!!! see a lot of this around right now in Melbourne!
lol... hilarious! thanks for stopping by and leaving a sweet comment!
Too funny.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I love the poem. I also look at what people wear and wonder!!! But if they're young enough, I forgive them -- because you've got to "try on" before you find what fits. It's the older 'mutton dressed as lamb (or crazed hyenas)' that I find hard to view without my face telling how I feel.
Oh well, there but for the grace of God (or Stacy and Clinton from TLC's "What not to Wear") go I.
Great visual.:) Very funny!
Oh Goodness, such a great poem - made me laugh!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving your lovely comment - I hope with all my Blogger problems I will be able to post this message without any drama :D - glad to have connected with you!
LOL. My mom, who's seriously overweight, used to wear black tight leggings with sweat shirts or t-shirts. It looked scary, but she keep insisting that was how everyone else, where she lived, dressed. So I decided not to visit her town. ;)
funny!
You have to wonder at some peoples choices of fashion.
I love this post! I'm always saying 'leggings are NOT pants!'
Finally, a poem about something that really matters.
I so agree with Charmaine. Leggings are NOT pants! Can we start a movement?
Love from Kaz
Oh sausages! Lets not go there...okay just once. I don't understand sausages in bright tights with short skirts. Sometimes full length mirrors make sense right? Lovely poem! ;)
Good job on this little ditty -- but now I have that picture in my mind and I'm afraid it's going to be hard to chase away. :)
LOVE the poem (and I agree with the sentiment).
Just stumbled across your blog. It's nice to meet you, and I look forward to reading more. :)
Summer – I can just picture that, sadly!
Aubrie – I think they have a magic mirror.

Jen – Aw, thanks!
Clara – Thanks for the award! Yes, I did pop by and comment, you have probably seen that by now.
Milton – I am always up for a fashion-extravaganza. Especially if there can be a rhyme about it afterwards.
Fran – Actually maybe the dark explains the fluorescent leggings I saw the other day – they needed reflected light, perhaps? Only excuse.
Old Kitty – I consider myself short and stumpy too – also taken years to perfect the look!
Wendy – Thank you!
Ellie – Glad you liked it!
The Words Crafter – Glad it made you giggle!
Boonsong – Thanks!

Mystica – I think it is a look that is spreading… in more than one direction.
cArLa – Glad you liked it!
Dyche – Thank you.
Sandy – Thanks for coming over! I think everyone has to go through some fashion faux pas’ – we have to have something to shake our heads wisely at as we get older, after all! But leggings and cropped tops… the jury says no.
Christine – Thank you!

Al – I think it’s more that I really want one of their mirrors.
