Plush fleece-lined leggings.
If cold hands means warm heart, what do cold legs mean?
We here in SoCal are relatively lucky during these winter months. I mean, Old Man Winter’s got a serious beef with the East coast and mid-West this year apparently (40 below??? What does that even mean?).
And while we’re not anywhere near those kind of igloo-worthy temps, these past couple weeks have been a bit chillier than usual. (Yes, we actually had to pull out the gloves in L.A., and I don’t mean the be-studded cropped leather driving glove kind.)
Now, you have to understand. We’re Angelenos. The slightest raindrop or temps that don’t start with the number 7 and above throw us into a frenzy. We can’t drive in the rain. And we certainly don’t know how to deal with really cold weather like we’ve had these past couple weeks.
Fellow Angeleno Jennifer Kim thoroughly empathizes. That’s why she came up with Plush, a line of leggings lined with fleece, but without any of the added bulk.


No more cold legs.
