If you're going to do something, do it with style

I'm so excited! I'm finally going home on Friday for the first time since school started in August. I've missed home more than usual this semester, and the idea of being back in my home state, with my family, and seeing old sights is just making me giddy. 
I was making my list for all of the things I want to bring back to school (I forgot a lot of things), and I almost forgot to put leggings on the list (crazy right?). I love love love leggings. They are my favorite when it comes to dressing for cold weather. not only do they keep my legs nice and warm, but they add a little something to an outfit. For example, yesterday I had to dress "nice" (college student nice is not often the same thing as real world nice), and I wore leggings with my high-waisted skirt. A friend of mine commented on how she knew I wouldn't "just wear" a skirt. And that's true, I enjoy accessorizing and leggings are often a really clever way of doing that.
As much as I love leggings (and I really do), I've never gotten crafty with them. Leggings are not like the wheel, they can be reinvented. Here are some good examples:
