does anyone wear dancewear?
I'm ogling Salsa and Latin Dresses, Tango, Club and Ballroom Dancewear at the moment ..wow these are really cute dresses. I like some of the pants too. Does anyone wear their melos with a sweater or something to work?
What other dance wear separates do you wear on a daily basis?

Re: does anyone wear dancewear?
Those dresses look like they are clubbing dresses, not something more professional.
I have had a job where I could and did wear my yoga pants. While it was nice, it also didn't help me to take my work very seriously.
Now, on the weekends, I live in my yoga pants and melos!

Re: does anyone wear dancewear?
I used to wear wide-leg gauchos to work when I was working at a clothing store. I'd also wear a lot of tie-tops, the cropped ones over camis.

Re: does anyone wear dancewear?
I buy most of my yoga pants via American Apparel. Actually, through a screen printer in E-bay who sells their overstock for about half what you'd pay in the store. They are a little lighter in weight than VS's, but I like them.

My fave outfit is yoga pants, tee shirt and flip flops! I'd like to try the wide leg yoga pants from VS one day...

Re: does anyone wear dancewear?
thats a great site! I love the pants section, thanks for sharing it!
I used to wear my dance pants all day, but only on the days that I had class. They looked cute with a long shirt and fitted jacket I had.

Re: does anyone wear dancewear?
I have 2 pairs of Sharifwear pants that I do wear to work and I totally get away with it looking "professional" by pairing it with a nice sweater or top and heels.
It's so comfortable and most people just think I have this great work wardrobe.

I wear my wide leg palazzo pants to work, but not yoga pants or Melos. I do have a nice VS hoodie/yoga pant set that I have worn on holidays and such when this place is basically empty.

Re: does anyone wear dancewear?
I love jazz pants for workshops and class, but they are over the top for my office. I do wear wide legged pants, the crop pants, and the palazzos with cowboy boots during the colder NY weather - wish I was in Hawaii, Jess!

I have palazzo pants that I wear both for working out and to work ... love them so much I bought them in every color they had ...so comfy, but with the right top they look really dressy ... their especially great for days when I get up and just wish I could stay home in my pjs

Re: does anyone wear dancewear?
There's a lot of cute stuff out there, but I rarely buy pants from these vendors because their clothes are sized for women who are 5'6" or shorter. I'm 5'10" and I now buy only pants from web sites that publish the inseam length AND make an inseam that is no less than 34 inches. (If the pants are flared, then I want 35 inches minimum.)
I have a collection of Geisha Moth pants that were custom-made for me, and I love them because they're not only cute, they're LONG enough! Woo hoo!

I'd like to find out about some good sources for palazzo pants that could also go incognito to work. Suggestions?

If anybody tries those VS Wide Leg Yoga Pants lemme know how it goes, at work I prefer to be comfy but jeans are outta the question.

Re: does anyone wear dancewear?
Hot dang! Those are nice.
I wear my melos and similiar knockoffs to work with nice boots and such. Of course I work in the theatre. The kids in my afterschool arts ed classes think I'm pretty cool because of my dancewear!
I bought a couple of the sexy Sharif-wear esque salsa pants that Lauren once recc-ed and I use them with my bedlehs quite a bit and also as clubbing gear.
