Spanx moto leggings

I have been obsessed with my Spanx faux leather leggings since I first bought them and reviewed them on the blog here. When I saw the moto version this season, I was super tempted. I kept thinking about them. And thinking about them. Then started to develop serious FOMO (fear of missing out) when I imagined them getting sold out before I could snag them. So, Black Friday weekend, I bought them. And I love them.

Faux leather leggings are such a good option if you have a holiday party, but don't want to be super dressed up or in a physical dress. I did faux leather leggings to our casual office party last year, and I may or may not do it again this year. Even though I'm wearing a flannel here, which is inherently casual, it only takes a few details like delicate jewelry, an embellished clutch, and metallic pumps to push it over the holiday style line.

I have officially put myself on a flannel ban. I have a small collection growing because me and the boys at work have started "Flannel Fridays" at the office now that the weather is cooling down again. I am a HUGE fan of the flannels at American Eagle. They have a relaxed, but not super oversized fit, and they really are ridiculously soft. I buy them any time I see they are on sale. And as you can see, you can dress them down or dress them up.

I took cues from my own gift guide and treated myself to some Alex and Ani bangles during their Black Friday sales. This Everything Happens for a Reason was high on my list because it's a saying I repeat to myself all. The. Time. Life likes to take you on twisty turns, and some not-so-great destinations, but ultimately I do believe that sometimes one bad destination is necessary to get to a better one. I'm not usually super deep or pensive on life sayings, but that one has always resonated with me.

As far as the leggings, I wear a size small in Spanx leggings. I have the camo pair and three of the faux leather pairs (solid black here and burgundy here), and they're all equally wonderful. I took all of them in a small. They're pricey, yes, but they're worth it for what they do for your tush, and your silhouette. Definitely worth the splurge and worth adding them to your Christmas lists! They will get you a lot of compliments, too!

That's all I have for you today! Hope you have a great week and that your weekends were good as well! Ours was pretty low key which I appreciated since we were traveling for last weekend. Waking up without an alarm clock two days in a row is always a good thing!
