Wow... School has officially started... I just got my books last night. Eek! Hopefully this semester turns out to be a good one.
So since I was talking about one of the things that I like wearing during the summer/fall transition yesterday, I thought I would follow up with one more. You know.... keep the trend going. I was actually going to post about both of them yesterday, but I figured that that would be one crazy long blog post and people would get bored with it. So here we go.
My #2 favorite thing to throw on in the awkward in-between-seasons period (and, well, just in the fall in general) is tights. No, I'm not talking about hose or anything like that. I mean really cool opaque, colored, patterned, or textured tights. I know you've seen them around before. They aren't really that new of thing, but they can really add to an outfit (and make it a little warmer). I actually wore some green ones the other day (it was a little warm out, but they were new and I just couldn't wait) that kind of made me feel like Peter Pan. Which is fine with me. I like Peter Pan. I paired them with black boots, a grey dress, and a lace top. That sounds a little weird. Let me show you a picture:
See the white thing on my forearm? Yep. My forearm tried to get friendly with the iron. The iron retaliated. But I digress....
What I also love about tights? You can find them crazy cheap depending on where and when you buy them. For example- the tights in the picture are Vera Wang tights from Kohl's. They had originally been $12 (which really isn't all that outlandish... I just personally wouldn't pay that much). I happened to have really good timing and got them for.... wait for it.... $1.20. I ended up getting four pairs that day (the green ones pictured, solid plum colored ones, solid light grey, and floral lacy).
Ok... I'm going to admit it. I think of all the tights that I own, all of them except for one or two pair are Vera Wang. But in my defense, I always get them on sale. I swear I haven't paid more than 3 or 4 dollars for any one pair. And they are crazy soft and comfy AND fit well. The other tights I have are from Target. They have good ones too in case you were wondering. I might have to head over there and see if I can find any on sale. I haven't looked for tights at Target yet this season.
You can't really go wrong with tights. Colored ones add a bit of fun to an outfit and patterned ones can add a pop of interest to an otherwise plain (or boring... whichever you prefer) outfit. And they keep you warm. Bonus! You just have to keep a look out for good ones at a good price. And I'm pretty sure they are easier to find than good blazers.
Oh... And here is how this blog will go, since I haven't posted consistently in the past. I will do my best to write up a new post every day during the week, but I probably won't post anything during the weekend unless it is something that I just can't wait to talk about. It's not that I'm being lazy... I just spend the weekend with my family or catching up on various things. Deal? Alright... Well then I'll talk to you guys next week! Have a great weekend!
