I love my black leggings so much. I bought a plain gray classic T but then ended up finding one at old Navy that I like better and it was 1/3 of the cost.
I saw a pretty striped Amelia dress but not one single one had the stripes line up correctly on the back. $65 for that?!
Oh and I saw one dress with tiny sailboats all over it. The actual body part and one sleeve had the sailboats upside down and the other sleeve had the boats the right way. Wtf.
The reason there is only picture of one person doing this on the whole internets is that you and this person are the only ones doing it. I just.. I..
I quit.
Yeah---I think I am overtired because I started cracking up thinking about turning my dresses into a shirt. Imagine all the possibilities of new outfits. It brings capsule wardrobe to a whole new level!
LOOK HOW VERSATILE:
A. Jessica wears a dress B. Jessica wears a skirt over a dress OR is it a dress folded up into a super comfy multi-layered shirt and MAYBE the skirt is actually a DRESS that's folded down! C. Jessica shimmies the skirt (/dress#2) up into a SCARF! Accessorize with a cardi (also use as a swaddling blanket later) and skinny belt that doubles as a headband. or a jumprope. D. Jessica got super tired trying to unfold her dress after taking off the skirt/dress#2/scarf, cardi/blanket, and belt/headband/jumprope, so she just made it a shorter dress. PHEW, hard work.
The thing that grinds my gears is there are all these YouTube videos about how to "style" the big hideous shirts that involve hair ties and safety pins. WHY would I pay all that money for an article of clothing that I need to rig up with a pony tail holder or pin? WHY? I watch them and I'm like, "This has to be a joke, right?" Pony tailing the back of a shirt so it fits is what my 8-year-old does when when plays dress up with my hand-me-down rejects.

I did buy a pencil skirt that I love, but I will never ever wear it as a scarf. That's nonsense. You think my coworkers aren't going to notice that the scarf I'm wearing has a waistband and is exactly the same print as the skirt I wore a few days ago?
I also have a pair of sewing machine leggings that I bought because I sew and collect vintage machines...but they were purchased for at-home use only.

Great for those happy hours that turn into one-night stands that turn into walk of shame into the office in yesterday's clothes. Just pull your skirt around your neck. WALLA!
I have a pair of leggings that my friend who sells it gave me, they are hideous but comfy. I wear them to clean the house/lounge in. They sell maxi skirts too which can be cute. My friend decided not to sell it anymore because they're getting too expensive so I say just hard pass. Unless you have a friend that will give you free shit. But don't pay $40 for leggings.
Was your friend charging $40 for leggings? Holy shit! The lady I bought from charged $20.
She said llr just changed their prices so she'd have to charge like $38 or something to make a profit
I just bought a pair of black leggings from a friend who sells it, only because she finally had some leggings that weren't some awful loud pattern. I'm hoping they don't suck...I guess we'll see after I pick them up tomorrow.

I have a pair of leggings that I like (SOLID BLACK, PEOPLE) and a Perfect Tee with a not-too-loud print that I like (haven't worn it yet). I am fatty-fatty 2x4 and I like the shape of the shirt. I will never, ever, ever not in a million years, no matter how long the shirt is, wear a shirt with leggings, no pants. These are VERY form fitting leggings, even the black ones hide nothing. My Old Navy ones hide more. I only got the print shirt because literally everything I own is black or black adjacent. When I wear the shirt, if I find that I like wearing it, I will buy a solid print one eventually, but I think that is it for me. I am pretty anti-MLM (long-time Pink Truth reader here) but I have read that they are plus-size friendly and everything from LB sucks so I gave it a shot.
I was invited to a party and bought a pair of leggings. They are a busy print and I only wear them at home. Are they comfy? Yes. But I could live without them. Now a friend of mine sells and has a VIP facebook group. They added me, I removed myself, and I was added again. I just don't ever look at the page. I hate that they don't sell the same patterns so basically you have to wait for the consultant to get their order and then see what fabric everything is. I tried on a Cassie skirt (pencil skirt) and it did not look good on me at all. I have friends that love the Randy tee. For the prices, you can find better stuff at the mall.
As for the fabric question, I've never folded a dress up into a shirt, but the reason others can do it is because the fabric is so fucking thin. Folding it in half makes it almost as thick as a normal dress.
Ugh, I have friend from high school that starts selling and all my high school friends are all over this crap. Legging with cake, pineapples and other various ridiculous things. I can't even. Seriously, we are 40 years old people. And the shirts, um go to J.Jill and buy them for a lot less.

I bought a pair of leggings. They are the granny panties of leggings. The rise goes up to my boobs. The fabric is soft but really thin- Far thinner than the other leggings I have and love.
