Adventures in Latex

I've been dealing with my current non-domiciled status by pursuing a rigorous course of retail therapy.  Completely irrational?  Yes.  But, also a pretty good excuse.  Lately, I've spotted a few fellow Brooklynites giving new life to black leggings by sporting latex versions.  The thought of pairing these with a crisp, thigh-high shirtdress has a very strong appeal.  It wasn't until I started doing some research that I realized was unwittingly just another sheep in the fashonista.  Not the first time I've experienced that revelation. The pair Olsen A is wearing in the picture are made by Kova and T.  They aren't really latex, which as a matter of hygiene seems like the way to go. The bad news is these are back-ordered all over the world.  What's a homeless shopaholic to do?
