We'll see what happens in March.....
Well well... it took some time, but that "First time ever-leggings-in-actual-public" happened today ; going out doing groceries at our regular, gigantic members/bulk supermarket.
Because so far, I have only worn leggings in and around the house and at family-in law's places...because I am basically still a western foreigner here in the Philippines.
Anyway, I went there like any of the previous grocery shopping days that came before this, as casually relaxed as it gets. Because afterall as they say; anxiety will only generate more risk of troublesome reactions.
So yeah, there was no fuss let alone negative verbal remarks.
My wife told me however that there were some behind-the-back stares, mostly from men. I am just grateful she tolerated it.
I didnt notice the stares but I do find it amusing to hear afterwards.
The blue leggings are MJINM; almost, but not quite as nice as Leohex because the fabric nap on these is "upside down" so from the wearer's point of view, the gloss is a tiny bit less refined compared to correct nap direction.
