Make A Statement: In Tights

Yesterday I put on my (old) favorite pair of blue jeans.  For the record, I have not put them on in months. And this is simply because I have found comfort in other things to cover my legs. Look around any relevant clothing store or website and you will most likely find either a) a colorful pair of skinnies b) a fun printed legging or c) an awesome pair of tights that cover fun in both print and color. 

This year, I am voting for tights and will protest why everyone should own at least one pair (excluding standard black opaque or sheer)! 

Here are five reasons everyone should go out and purchase a new pair of tights:

1. They are quite cheap so you aren't making a huge investment in something you may only wear a few times

2. Everyone owns a LBD.  Spruce that LBD up with an oxblood pair of tights or add a black patterned pair

3. Tights look good on all shapes and sizes! If you are bigger, think about how diagonal stripes look good in tops and do the same thing with tights, they will create a slimming illusion! If you are short, purchase a pair that have vertical stripes to create an illusion of never ending legs! 

4. They now make opaque tights that are fleece lined! Yes, I know that sounds weird and pretty thick but its not. You can wear these tights all through winter.

5. A lot of people get caught in a rut of buying black, white, cream, and grey in clothing.  This is an easy (and relate back to #1) way to add a pop of color to any skirt or dress in your closet.

Put Your Prints Up, Baby

As fall slowly rolls around the corner, I cannot put a stop to what I would like in my fall wardrobe collection. I once met a girl who was studying fashion design with an emphasis on knits so she could makes awesome print sweaters like these which is TRéS COOL!!! Prints on sweaters are a wonderful way to add quirkiness to a rather plain ensemble.  Plus they are usually funny, cute, or just a bit out of the ordinary.

5. Asos Tres Cool

There are endless possibilities with printed sweaters!
