The best look in fashion in the 1980's was introduced with the movie,
Flashdance. All a girl needs is a pair of leg warmers and a ripped sweatshirt, add a few accessories, jeans, heels, and you are good to go. I decided to bring back the leg warmer to my own closet two years ago after finding a great pair at
American Apparel. For the last two years, I have rocked a leg warmer on my way to my show with a pair of sneakers or my Uggs. Hey, it's cold in
Detroit and
Chicago in the January and February. I may not be the most fashionable girl with that look, but I am still rockin' my leg warmers.

| Yep, I wore this in NY. I had to walk about twenty blocks to work in my wardrobe each day. So, I worked Flashdance and Working Girl all into one look. |
I am happy to say the leg warmer is officially back this season, so I will be adding a few affordable pairs to my collection this fall. Below is my American Apparel leg warmers that I bought a few years ago. I am not a fan of the AA "model shots", but the leg warmers are a great buy at $16.
