I chose the "Aster Twist" Huggalugs leg warmers, which I thought were a nice girly color - without being too girly. They also have a winter/Christmas feel to them, so are perfect as we move into the colder months. These leg warmers cost £7.99 from NKB, and are suitable for babies and toddlers alike, as one size fits all. I was thrilled when they arrived, and couldn't wait to get a chance to get them on to Miss Isabelle! They were so soft to the touch, beautifully made, and very stretchy with nice soft elastic. Isabelle looked lovely in them, and they were so quick and easy to put on her and have washed very well, staying almost as soft as new.
So...what the heck am I using leg warmers for? Don't I buy her trousers?! Of course I do...but leg warmers definitely have their place in any baby wardrobe too. Here are some situations I use our Huggalugs in:
* When carrying Isabelle in her wrap, especially moving into the colder weather, as her little leggies are out wriggling about
* When we are lounging round the house so I don't need to fuss with trousers/leggings/tights for nappy changes
* Instead of tights or leggings underneath a dress
* To put on as an "extra layer" for when we go out in the car seat (blankets just get kicked off, and coats only come down so far!)
* To add extra warmth over tights when we are out and about (see below! Very mismatched, but never mind!)
They are so easy to keep in my change bag, and throw on her (arms or legs!) if I feel she is getting a bit chilly. I know that when Izzy starts crawling our wooden floors will be tough on her little knees, so her Huggalugs will provide a good layer of protection for her soft skin.
Now, my only tough choice is which pair of Huggalugs to go for next? There are around 30 patterns to choose from, but I think I have my eye on the candy stripe next, or maybe the lace flower, or the pretty rose....
