s is for street style, legwarmers and lace

for the first time in a long time i saw legwarmers!

but not only legwarmers they were teamed with lace stockings.

it was quiet a unique, but very cool look.

i know lots of people hate the idea of legwarmers, but i quiet like it.

i even wear them in the winter.

to me they are not just 80's but harajuku style as well.

i can't wait for those cold days, so i can try this lace and legwarmer look!

very interesting idea and props to the girl who had the guts to pull it off! ♥
