AMEN AND AMEN!! I couldn't agree with you more. :) Thanks for writing it down!
I actually like the look of leggings, so don't judge me if you see me wearing a pair. Ha, who am I kidding, I am so not cool enough to pull them off! Although I strongly agree, they are far too casual for church, as well as flip flops!
I think they are cute, too...but I'm with you on the leggings and flip-flops at church. Way too casual...if you would wear it to the beach, maybe don't wear it to church. That's my motto!
