I know I thought I wouldn’t want to wear anything from the 30 for 30 challenge for at least a month, but the other night I was getting ready to go out to meet a friend for a birthday celebration and I kept gravitating toward the leopard vest.
To be honest… I’m not sure about this look. Well, actually I like it but I think it needs to be tweaked. The oversized sweater is one of my favorites, but I think the black pants look more like leggings than pants and that, my friends, is SO not good. Funny thing is… this was something I kinda saw but wasn’t sure about until a friend told me it looked like I didn’t have pants on and she thought I was against the leggings as pants look. Oops. If I were to re-do this look, which I probably will, I’d put on some skinny jeans instead or maybe a longer vest to lose some of the legging-ness of the look.
Still loving these boots. Are you sick of them yet? Sorry.
Tip: If a friend is really a friend she’ll let you know when you look like a clown… take the advice, even if it is hard to hear.

I do not know how you can get tired of those boots…they are great and this look works…I also think the vest is worth several repeats. When you have great elements like these..they deserve encores!
I think this outfit looks great! Even if you were wearing leggings, I think this look would be great. Your vest and boots make it so cute!
i think this outfit is fantastic. the sweater and vest are pretty long (at least they appear so in the pix) so even if you had leggings on it seems like it would be okay? but what do i really know? =)
think you look great!
Those boots are fantastic.
I don't see what the leggings problem is, other than perhaps personal preference? Because this looks GREAT to me–the proportions are all excellent, in terms of length of shirt and vest, to the height of the boots. And, it makes your legs look super long. You might want to re-think your preconceptions, cause this looks good!
totally agree with the other comments-I LOVE this outift! Even if your pants look like leggings, heck, even if they WERE leggings, this outfit is super adorable. I'm not big on the 'leggings as pants' look either, but now with tunic style shirts, and thicker leggings (aka jeggings), I think people can actually pull it off tastefully. This outfit is adorable! I wouldn't change a thing!
LOve the look! Your hair looks fantastic!
i think it actually looks really cute with the leggings, but you could definitely work it with a nice pair of jeggings or dark denim skinny jeans. loving this look, and i have to compliment you on your hair too, it looks fab all straight and silky looking
It would look good with skinny jeans too, but I really like this look. This is my favorite use of the vest so far.

Who cares if the pants look like leggings – they look great on you! Plus, since you know they're really pants, you're not actually wearing leggings-as-pants (an opposition in which I agree with you) and you're not liable for all the downfalls therein (eg., skin showing through). Skinny pants are perfectly acceptable and, as you're demonstrating above, perfectly chic.

I don't think you should stay away from the leggings as pants look – it looks fabulous on you! I love everything about this – the boots, the pants, the top AND especially the vest. It looks perfect as is, but skinny jeans would also look great!
I really love this outfit, from the boots to the leopard vest – i know you're loving leopard but you work it well lovely!
It's a perfect outfit!

2. leggings ARE pants!
