peacock leggings & fashion firsts

top: Nordstrom Rack, clearance // leggings: c/o Style Lately // shoes: Target, clearance // necklace: c/o Sebastian Design 

you would probably think by some of my outfit choices that i am pretty confident in my style. 

i'm used to being bold, bright, different, weird... or at least i go along with it. 

but the truth is i have loooots of insecurities when it comes to fashion and outfits. 

the first one being: leggings. 

i have seen the legging trend all over and have oohed and ahhed over many a pair of awesome leggings i see on other bloggers. 

but ever imagining myself in such a pair? 

anxiety.attack. 

i love looking at them, 

but i kept questioning if i could really pull that off. 

i tried to repeat my old mantra to myself,

"you can pull anything off with enough confidence!"

but no. just no. 

anxiety.attack. 

then i saw some leggings i had to have. 

and so i threw caution {see: insecurities} to the wind and decided to really test my limits. 

[did i use that phrase right?]

well, i was actually still very very nervous, 

as you could tell from all my instagram posts. 

but with some gentle urgings from you awesome people, here they are!! 

of course you all were right. 

i LOVE these pants!!! 

first, the print. it's awesome. it's everything that is amazing. 

second, they are soooo crazy comfortable! it's like i'm not wearing pants... but i am. perfect. 

i just really like them. 

i've worn them twice since they arrived and i'm already feeling much more confident with this new "fashion plunge." which means i should start shopping for more leggings soon... ;)
