Three years ago Ali Martell wrote a post in which she makes her case as to why leggings are not pants, how to wear them, and how not to wear them. It was clear to me, when I first read the post, that although Ali had a strong opinion on the matter, she certainly wasn't out to ridicule or "shame" anyone. I thought it was a fun read and never gave it much thought until I saw it reposted on Facebook a few days ago.

Tonight I watched a teenage girl get on the bus at Disney with her parents, nose buried in her cell phone, texting at a furious rate. Her parents looked exasperated and a little sad. They were at Disney after all and were probably hoping that their time here would be spent laughing, sharing and connecting like families are meant to on vacation.
