Do you ever have a trend/article of clothing that you really want to work, but for some reason you can’t make it? Well, that’s how I feel about my faux leather leggings. I feel weird even typing that out. Am I too old for faux leather leggings? Say no!!! 😦 Alas…I might be.
I didn’t even blog the first attempt, it was so bad, albeit COMFORTABLE. At first I blamed it on the sweater. I keep trying THAT too, and don’t like the deep V! Grrr, two wrongs obviously don’t make a right! Anywho, I realized I shouldn’t hide my “misses”. So, here it is-first attempt. 
Did I mention how comfortable they are? So…I tried them again. This time I chose a different sweater…. Not 100% sold on this outfit either, but I do like it better than the first try.
Seriously, it’s comedic how much Maya loves the self timer sometimes. 
Love this tunic from the Gap (old :() 
So, what are your thoughts on faux leather leggings? Should I try them again??

Super Mom Tip-
Don’t be afraid to try new trends or step out of your comfort zone, but don’t spend a lot of $$ unless you try the less expensive version out. I buy a majority of my “tries” on eBay, but I also love H&M if you like to try things on. I actually found these Forever 21 leggings at Value Village (new with the tag!) for $2.50. Can’t beat that for a test drive. Even if I did crash and burn…twice.
If you find that you love it, then go for a more quality piece that will last/fit better.
Scored these suede booties at a thrift store last week for $7!! They are super comfy too!
