Tall Tunics and Leggings

Leggings and tunics....how I love thee...let me count the ways.

The main thing I love about leggings is that they still show off the shape of my legs while completely covering them AND they're insanely comfortable. Tunics are also comfy, can also show off some curves (depending on the style) and of course, play the all important purpose of covering my backside.  If I could wear leggings and tunics year found, I'd be one happy camper. Unfortunately that's not possible since I live in the South where it's blazing hot and humid all summer. BUT fall is upon us and I'm getting antsy to bust out my favorite look again which is why I was pleased to wake up to two things today.

1) 65 degree weather, gloom and rain (which was a welcome change after 3 days of 100 degree heat earlier in the week); and

2) an email from Long Tall Sally's fashion editor, Lisa, listing her favorite LTS "cosy knits" (no that's not a typo...cozy is cosy across the pond).

Given the weather, I was definitely in the mood to have a gander at some warmer clothes. I'm hoping this tunic is still available when I lift my self-imposed shopping moratorium in a few weeks.  I LOVE the asymmetrical hem!

Add some jewelry, leggings or jeans and high heels and VOILA you have yourself a fabulous (and comfy) night-out-on-the-town outfit. Or, sport a more laid back version with leggings and flats, boots or sandals.  Is my shopping vacation over yet?!?!?
