Bianca 1Oh no to the Flur-Oh

Ok - so I am pretty sure that fluro leggings were a hit in the 80’s but today I would classify them as more like – fancy dress attire. I could not understand the mentality of some people while walking down Swanston Street in Melbourne the other day.
Some clueless individual was looking very pretty in a little denim mini and cute little top which she had teamed with a pair of plain havaianas. This was completely and utterly fine until I looked at her knees for some obscure reason only to discover the hideous leg attire that was shining right before my eyes.
It appeared as though the young lassie had grabbed her bright pink ‘Stabilo’ highlighter from her grade 3 pencil case and had colored in a pair of white leggings so she could resemble a fluro glow stick. Goodness me - they were so bright and should not be considered fit for human consumption. I was surprised some body would even consider purchasing a pair of such bright pieces of material.
Sure if it was for dress-up purposes then not an issue, however they were meant to be viewed as a genuine purchase worn on the streets of Melbourne where there was no genre present or theme – just the classy style Melbourne is...or was I guess...
I thought where on earth could one purchase these figure hugging bright leggings? I did not come to any conclusion as I did not want to waste my brain cells trying to work out such an odd thought – I just thought they had scarred my mental thoughts enough and so I would let the feeling slide past and hopefully not be exposed to such damaging material ever again.
If this little vixen was feeling a bit fresh but still wanted to wear the mini there would have been an abundant supply of leg warming tactics she could have resorted to as opposed to her bright choice. She could have opted for the classic black leggings and stuck with her thongs or chucked on a pair of black boots. She could have also have gone for the footless tights or better still, she should have re-assessed the weather situation and come to the realization that it was way too chilly to prance around with no clothes on, so the safest option would have been some skinny leg jeans, a pair of slacks or better still - trackies!
