I like holiday wear. I have a couple of Christmas shirts, a Fleece Navidad (with a lamb wearing a Santa hat) sweater and a Winter is Coming sweatshirt that I pull out after Thanksgiving every year. I also love loud leggings. I have quite a few crazy leggings that I wear pretty much all year round.
Today my son and I are attending the year-end party at the dojo and when he came out in his Christmas shirt I suddenly wanted very much to wear Christmas leggings under the simple black sweater dress I was going to wear. I texted my friends and asked if anyone had a pair I could borrow but they said no. I briefly looked online, but the cute light leggings I saw wouldn’t arrive before Christmas. I realized I wasn’t going to find leggings for today, but promised myself I would look later online for a pair that I could wear to work this coming week.
Then my son and I stopped by the dollar store on the way to the library and my son immediately pointed out a bin full of… drum roll please… holiday leggings!!! $3 holiday leggings!
At first I could only find 2XL and 3XL sized leggings but then I found the rack with S/M and M/L. I found a pair of S/M in each of the prints they had. I even found two pairs of cute Halloween leggings in my size! I got five pairs of leggings and a cute sweatshirt for my daughter, all for $18!
As I was walking home I started wondering what the chances were that these were actual leggings, that would fit right. Maybe they are weirdly capri leggings that no one wants because who can wear capris at Christmas? Or maybe even the S/Ms were really big. But when I got home and tried the first pair on, I was astonished to find that they are, in fact, real leggings, that come in the expected sizes! And they are so soft! I bet this pair is exactly the ones I wanted to order online!
I swear I feel like I won the lottery. I wanted a couple pairs of Christmas leggings, I couldn’t find any I loved online, then I walked by the dollar store and there was a giant bin full of them! And now I’m wearing these to the party today!
Talk about serendipity! I’m so super stoked! (And yes I realize I’m a weirdo for being so super stoked about this, but I am!)
I absolutely love the leggings!! Awesome find!!
HURRAH!!!!!!!
The Christmas light leggings are adorable!!!! Great find! And I feel you on the feeling cold- we’ve been down in the 30’s in the morning in the foothillls outside Sac, and I will use the word cold, people on the East Coast will laugh at me but this California girl is cold when it’s in the 30’s!! And now we have another atmospheric river coming! Fun week, right? Hope you had super fun at the party- I miss going to parties!
Sometimes it really is the little things!
LOL, those look super fun! What a find!
