The Spring Trend Fashion Girls Are Wearing Instead of Leggings

Kristen S. Sykes

If there’s anything last year taught us, it’s that loungewear isn’t going anywhere. During a time where comfortable clothing is being more prioritized than ever before, fashion girls have naturally been searching for ways to make casual and cozy pieces feel as forward as possible. Leggings are usually on the forefront of most loungewear wardrobes, but this spring, It girls have officially proven that there’s a new style in town that’s not quite a legging, not quite a bodysuit, but a trendy new hybrid. We’re not sure if we should be calling them bodysuits with shorts, tight rompers, or playsuits, but hopefully, by listing all three, you’ll get a solid picture of the kinds of onesies we’re talking about here.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered a promising message Monday at his weekly press briefing, noting the state’s 7-day average positivity rate has dropped to 5%.

EV Company With Almost No Revenue Posts 3,000% Gain in 8 Months

(Bloomberg) — There is nothing about the finances of Blink Charging Co. that would suggest it’s one of the hottest stocks in America.It’s never posted an annual profit in its 11-year history; it warned last year it could go bankrupt; it’s losing market share, pulls in anemic revenue and has churned through management in recent years.And yet a hot stock it is. Investors have bid Blink’s share price up 3,000% over the past eight months. Only seven stocks — out of about 2,700 that are worth at least $1 billion — have risen more over that time. The reason: Blink is a green-energy company, an owner and operator of charging stations that power up electric vehicles. And if investors are certain of one thing in the mania that is sweeping through financial markets, it is that green
