Jeggings... A do or a don't?

I was totally against the idea of Jean-Leggings, until I saw a pair. I do love leggings so the idea of faking people into believing they were actual pants seemed possible. When I spotted these at Forever 21 I was smitten. Not only do they have the same color as denim but they also come with back pockets, seeming, a button and a zipper. These may be the perfect pair. I decided to try them out at work and was unhappy most of the day. I just didn't feel dressed, in fact I felt under dressed and I while I was warm, and comfortable, I felt put on the spot. We were off to see Avatar in 3d that night, so I decided to remix the Jeggings a bit and give them another try. A movie is a casual enough setting to make them work.
I actually like this outfit, and Johnny's sister seemed surprised when I said that I wasn't wearing denim. Maybe the only person not fooled is me because I feel the cotton. So what do you think? Have you tried them? To Jegging or not to Jegging?

hmmm. see what you mean about feeling over-exposed at work- I would too, I think it's the tightness factor. I'm not on board with them for ME because they would show too many lumps and bumps... my bottom half is NOT my best feature.

I was skeptical too. But I bought a pair from H&M to wear under longer shirts and mini dresses. I was pleasantly surprised. No one knew I wasn't in jeans, even though I was sure they could tell. Love them.

Jeggings are definitely a do, if you've got the body for it. They're way comfortable and they look great!
