Black leggings can be totally non-boring if you combine them with a pastel skater dress. Usually it is advised not to wear pastels with black, but this outfit of three pastel colors would have been too sweet, have I not added black leggings to it. One of the fashion trends of Spring-Summer 2014 is pastel colors, which you shouldn’t be afraid to wear several at once! Another great trend of the season – chunky sandals – is just perfect for creating outfits with leggings.

How to wear nude leggings

Not all leggings can be worn as pants though. You are safe to wear them as pants if they look as pants (the fabric is thick, there are some finishes such as pockets). When in doubt, wear your leggings with a skirt or a dress. Wearing skirts or dresses over pants is one of the hottest fashion trends 2014.  You can easily create a retro look if you wear your leggings with a mini dress like this. 1960s fashion has been an inspiration for many designers this season. Add some cat eye sunglasses and chunky sandals for a complete look a la 1960s.

A pair of printed leggings is quite tricky to style.

Love makes you see a place differently, just as you hold differently an object that belongs to someone you love. If you know one landscape well, you will look at all other landscapes differently. And if you learn to love one place, sometimes you can also learn to love another.

Santorini Island

It is a pity indeed to travel and not get this essential sense of landscape values. You do not need a sixth sense for it. It is there if you just close your eyes and breathe softly through your nose; you will hear the whispered message, for all landscapes ask the same question in the same whisper. 'I am watching you -- are you watching yourself in me?' Most travelers hurry too much...the great thing is to try and travel with the eyes of the spirit wide open, and not to much factual information. To tune in, without reverence, idly -- but with real inward attention. It is to be had for the feeling...you can extract the essence of a place once you know how. If you just get as still as a needle, you'll be there.

Exhale...
