Good Buy / Awesome Leggings

Good Morning Ladies!

If you want to extend the life of your summer skirts through out the fall and winter time, buy these leggings from H&M. I just bought them and they are awesome! They are 20% of wool, so they are really warm. I could feel them warming my legs all day even though I wore my short jeans skirt and it was windy outside. Since these leggings are only partially wool, they are not itchy at all. The lovely shade of grey can be matched with many dresses, skirts and oversized shirts. I already know these will be used a lot this winter! For colder days I can wear another pair of thinner leggings underneath these. When you live in Finland, you will learn to wear lots of layers (*wink*). I love my dresses/skirts and I want to wear them all year around.

Here's a pic from H&M's website:

Here's me and my leggings... horrible picture and you can't really see the texture of the leggings but it gives you an idea what to wear these with...

Close up on the knit...

These leggings require a hand wash or very gentle wool cycle if machine washed. They cost 19,90 euros. There is also another shade available, natural white. Sizing is pretty ok for H&M standards. If you usually wear size S, it will work on these too. These leggings are fairly long though but I love it because usually everything is too short on me.

Since these awesome leggings are from H&M, I probably should also mention the H&M Winter Holiday home catalogue I got in the mail yesterday. They have some really pretty things there for Christmas (*yes, I said Christmas, might be politically incorrect but I like my Christmas*). Here's my picks from the catalogue...

This apron is so cute! I can already see myself baking ginger bread cookies... and I really don't have an apron...
These reindeer decorations are darling! You can never have too many Christmas tree decorations... I am not an usual Finn because I love to have my Christmas tree decked out with as many decorations as possible, like they do in the USA. Finns are more modest and use very little decorations.
This stocking is pretty! White and silver go together so well.

I'm so glad Christmas is here soon. It is such a lovely time of the year! There are many fun crafts you can do, cookies to be baked, gifts wrapped and jolly songs to be sung. Fun, Fun, Fun! So, be prepared; lot of Christmas posts up ahead!

Happy Wednesday!
