Leggings for your ASSETS

-
My other working title "Spanx You Again."  But, I think I've just seen too many 50 Shades Freed commercials.  Side note, why are those commercials on during the Olympics when my little ones are watching?!  I already had to have the sex talk with my six year old, I'm not ready to devulge anymore in that area, that's what college is for, right?!  Ok, getting back to leggings-

During the holidays I found the Spanx Faux Leather Legging (See blog post Spanx You Very Much.) It's a love item for sure and in my opinion any Spanx item I've purchased is worth every penny.  Spanx also has a spin off brand called ASSETS that came out with a partial faux leather legging that is just as amazing and 1/3 of the cost!   ASSETS by Spanx Women's Faux Leather Front Legging (priced at $34) has front pannels which are faux leather while the back pannel is a poly/spandex material that stretches over Bertha, compressions stocking and all.

I felt like the work out to get these on was a bit easier.  These are not only an awesome and trendy leggings, but ASSESTS will keep all of your assets in place.  Also with only half of the legging as faux leather I feel like I can dress them down with some sneakers as easily as I can dress these leggings up with a mule (or heel if you want to be really daring.)  It's a very versital piece to have in your wardrobe.

Basically this pair of leggings is like a mullet: polished business in the front, stretch and party for my legs in the back!  Too far? It was either that or an ode to my son with a Two Faced reference, which means it's time for me to close my computer ....also I need to have a conversation with someone who is over the age of six.


My dress down outfit.  I need to learn how to pose for photos.
It started snowing!  In the PNW that means the city shuts down, ha ha!



An upclose look at the front and back pannels.

A leg by any other name would be as big.

I guess it's time to introduce Bertha, my previous post might make a little more sense.  Some women name their boobs, I name my legs.  My skinny "normal" leg is Tiffany who I imagine would be a cheerleader and a runner.  And then there is my lymphedema leg Bertha, who bakes likes science.  Ok I know that is so stereotypical, but it's makes me laugh and makes other people feel awkward.  I mean they named a golf club "Big Bertha" so really I'm just following suit.  Bertha has been with me since 2007 and isn't going away anytime soon, so it was only proper she be named.  We have a love hate relationship, but in the end she is a big part of my life and according to my husband "his favorite leg in the world."  Yes you can "awwww" now.  And yes I hit the jackpot with him.  XOXO-Allie

Loving Life In Wide Width Winter Boots

Winter in the PNW means rain, rain, a randomlly sunny day that is like 70 degrees, followed by-you guessed it rain.  Where I live in Oregon we do have some light dustings of snow and every 2-3 years it "dumps snow" which means a couple of inches.  Basically the whole city shuts down when this happens and we all hunker in for the 1-2 days it last.  It's the one time a year I love our steep driveway, it's the best sledding hill!  Winter and rain boots has been one of the most difficult items to find that fit Bertha .  Here are a few style I found that should work for us Lymphies and Lippys. xo-Allie Sorel Out and About Waterproof Bootie Living in Oregon and as a soccer Mom I need a good basic boot to keep Bertha dry.  I especially like these boots, because they are lace up, so you can adjust them if you only have one "Lymphie foot."  This is the boot I've had for the past few years.  I read reviews and decided to size up 2 sizes to a 12 and I'm glad...

Ode to Birkenstocks

So when I was 19 and had no clue what real life was.  My 3 guys friends and I (I should note I was a tomboy not a floozy) headed to the beach for a day of relaxing, because that's what every 19 years old needs, right?!  We walked by a Birkenstocks store and I said to one of them, "I remember those, I think I want to get a pair!"  The goof of our group, not hearing my previous comment pointed at the store. "Birkenstocks!  Hippy shoes!" For fear I would be excommunicated from our group-ok maybe that's too dramatic.  For fear of being made fun of, I quietly walked passed the store with only the longing of Birkenstocks in my heart, not on my feet.  Oh 19 year old me, if I only knew being made fun of for shoes would be the least of my worries in life.  One of those three guys in now my husband and was sure to remind me of that day when I purchased my Birks. But seriously, how awesome is it that Birkenstocks have some back into style!  Or maybe they n...
