After I spent hours knitting a pair of legwarmers for my skirt-loving princess, my other princess decided she wanted a pair, too. Except she already had received her Christmas present, and I was eager to start other knitting projects, so I whipped up a pair just for her from an old sweater o’ mine. I think it’s befitting, as the sweater came from the 80′s, and leggings just seem to be an 80′s accroutement. I think they’re cute paired with these cowboy boots, but they’re just cute. Period. Especially when worn by my very own cowgirl princesses!
