I bought legwarmers because I like 80's retro, because American Apparel is making them and they're fairly cheap (also, I ♥ AA for being the sort of business we need more of), and because they're semi-scene and I am nothing if not a scenewhore.

This of course explains why I have worn them every damn day for the last week and a half.

No, wait! The white shit falling out of the sky explains that!

So I'm off to do some holiday shopping, Metro willing. Basically, Metro's on the radio right now saying "If you live in West Seattle, don't make any fucking plans."

Also, you know what? I really like my body. I thought I'd just throw that out there. It's rare for me to like my body, and today I do. It's not a bad one, even if there are a couple things I'd change. Even though my back is fucking killing me, which means more stretching, more situps, more yoga.

Okay. Having made no fucking plans, I'm gonna go prop up the economy. I wish I could find my headphones, but that's life.

Hey!

There's nothing wrong with legwarmers. I still have a pair somewhere that my sister crocheted for me back in the 80s. They were awesome!

I love them too! I was actually looking for some a few years back (way ahead of my usual trend of "three months before everyone and their dog has them) and by "a few" I mean "about ten" but whatever, and I couldn't FIND them, so I'm super happy that they're in fashion now. I mean, that was back before my parents had internet access, and I never even thought about buying them online, and now I can just walk into a store and get them. If I had a job, I'd have gotten more pairs, but one is enough for right now.

I'd had one or two store-bought pairs back in the 80s, but then my sister, who loves to crochet anyway, got it in her head that they'd be easy to make. And she'd done several sets. She and her best friend. The ones I still have are the pair she made me, but the weather in South Texas fluctuates so damned much and isn't often very cold that I never think to wear them. I need to pull them out though and if I get accepted next year to a grad school in the north, I'll definitely wear them!
