Cold Weather in New York -Time for Capri Leggings!

What the hell happened, y'all! It's late May in New York and we're freezing our tushies off. I have a good mind to write a letter of complaint to the National Weather Bureau. I feel bad for my daughter. She had a pageant at her school this morning, and she was supposed to wear a skirt. She was like, "Mommy, I'm going to turn into a popsicle." The poor thing. I told her she could wear jeans, but she was afraid she was going to let her classmates down. I racked my brains for about ten minutes, then came up with the perfect solution. I dug deep into her closet and found a pair of capri leggings. She put them on underneath, and actually, it made her outfit really cute. So now she was warm and stylish. I didn't have time to take a picture, but if you want to see a girls capri leggings picture, here's one. Leggings saved the day!

So my girl went off to school, where a bunch of other girls were shivering their butts off. And of course, there's little April, snug as a bug in a rug. Now all the other girls wanted to know where she got her capris. So on their break, I took out my iPad and connected to the wi-fi to search for them. We found a bunch of sites, but one in particular proved to be really popular with the girls. Their capri leggings were not like all the other ones. The patterns were bold and fun, and some of the legs matched each other, and some didn't. That was part of the fun and whimsy. Suddenly, wearing leggings seemed like a really creative style choice. In other words, it was a way to look different, but not too much. No girl wants to stand out too much, you know what I mean.

The cold snap lasted a few days, which was fine by everyone because now all the girls could walk around town wearing their new capri leggings. When the temperature warmed up, everyone seemed bummed out. Isn't that funny? When I was a kid, and it was below freezing, we had to wear long underwear, or long johns. I felt like a freaking lumberjack. They were itchy and uncomfortable. But todays capri leggings for girls are soft and fun. Kids today seem to have it so much easier. Isn't it ironic, though. Capri is a small island off the coast of Italy. It's warm and sunny there. And here we are in the Northeast, and we're using capris to stay warm!

So if you want to spare you girls from pain, humiliation, and mild shivering, go to this website. All of their clothing is Made in the USA, including girls capri leggings, which is pretty darn rare these days. I do like to buy local. It makes me feel good. Check out their website. TwirlyGirlShop.com
