And the tights are back
Bit of a cheesecakey pose but I know the daves will appreciate it. I wish it wasn't blurry. I couldn't tell until I got downstairs and uploaded.

Yesterday on flickr I was talking about how I just read in one of the September magazines (I can't remember which one for the life of me) that you should invest in classic well made pieces when you can afford it so for times when you are a bit more down on your luck you don't look at your closet and wish you had something nice to wear but don't have the money. This is one of those weeks for me. In an attempt to not touch the house fund we are working on a very strict budget this week and it has worked out nicely I have all these lovely frocks hanging in my closets. I may be sad I can't go to lunch but I can look nice while eating my homemade lunch. Know what i mean? (I prefer dave's cooking to buying lunch but its used for an example)I also bought a bunch of tights this summer on sale even though it was months until I could wear them again. And this morning after the tiny terror ripped a hole in one pair of older stockings I had nice new pair waiting for me! And they were only $2.00 for two pair! My first wearing this fall. I feel much more pulled together with a pair of dark tights on. I like they hide all my dozens of cuts and bruises (Bella in Twilight ain't got nothing on me in the klutzy department) I have right now FOUR cuts and bruises one on top of another on my leg from hitting the same hope chest four days in a row. They are all a little off depending on if I was barefoot or what angle I hit it at.
Today I want to know what are your favorite brand of tights? Any opinions on we love colors? I want to order some but they are a bit spendy if they aren't nice quality and I am dying to try them. What about Hue super opaques? ( I told you I WILL become zooey)

I am not supposed to wear tights, since well, it´s pretty much hellish hot all year round.
But, I decided this weekend that I would anyways.
If anybody´s butt´s going to boil is my own, so who cares what anybody says.
Bought 2 pairs of dark tights, they are brand named Circus (?) - so I´ll see how they turn out.
Have you tried this brand ? It was the only one they had and it was on sale !
I also see you wore a cami in a face-flattering color with this dress. Love it!
I am sure you didn't mean that as the backhanded comment as it came out as.
I have several pairs of Hue super opaque tights that I got on sale at Daffy's and I LIVED in them through fall and winter. Actually, I did a post about them here before I started Gilding the Frilly: http://bisforbecky.blogspot.com/2009/03/style-tid-bit.html
I have a few pairs of we love colors and they are good quality thickness-wise (had them for ages and they don't rip/ladder at all) BUT (and its a big one) they are handwash only and the colour bleeds something ridiculous. I have little colour drips all under my radiator from where I hung them up to dry - and that was after wringing them out as much as possible. I always dry them over the shower now.
I'd recommend topshop ones - great range of colours, good quality and way cheaper than WLC.
You're hair looks rad.
I ended up buying Hue Super Opaque and I will report back! They feel fantastic in the package!
