Am I a Can-Can dancer or a Mime?

These are a pair of tights from Pretty Polly. They have a Faux over the Knee effect. I received these as a sample when I was going to do some Freelance work for the US launch of Pretty Polly.

I like pairing these tights with skirts that are on the shorter side so you can get the full effect. Today's outfit sort of looks like a cross between a French Mime/Can Can dancer. With a striped shirt you always have to keep your hosiery on the simple side, too many patterns in my opinion make an outfit look to busy.

I personally don't like my smile in this picture, but it will have to do :)

Corduroy "Jeanz" Stretch Leggings worn by my MOM

I still have yet to get my Pajama Jeans in the mail so to continue my "Jeggings" series I am going to feature my Mom, Alyse in her Corduroy "Jeanz".  These are a pair of Corduroy Leggings from the brand HUE  They like "Jeggings" have evolved from Corduroy pants that too have be come too too skinny! This are super stretchy and soft and lay really nice under tunics and tucked into boots. I have to say my Mom looks pretty stylish in her Corduroy "Jeggings"

Pajama Jeans

Hi
So, my Pajama Jeans have still not arrived and I had to change last night before I had a chance to take a photo of my "Jegging" outfit. Max got chocolate all over me! But I do have an outfit for today. Check back later :)

Jeggings

Sorry for not posting yesterday, I have been sick...ick ick....

Anyway, since we have received yet another 19 inches of snow here in NYC.  I am turning to "Jeggings" as my form of leg wear these next few days.  Jeggings which have derived from the trend of Leggings and too tight skinny jeans. Are all over the place, I personally bought my first pair at Marks and Spencers in London two Christmas ago and at the time thought they were just a temporary gap in the trends of our times. They come in all varieties and all price points. What stated as a heavier knit denim looking legging have evolved into 90% spandex and 10% cotton "jeans".  

Here I am wearing a pair of "Jeggings" from J Crew-These ones have a real waistband, zipper fly and I will need to hem them exactly why I really don't wear jeans to begin with. 

Please check out the Wikipedia definition of Jeggings- Jeggings Definition -and check back tomorow when I review Pajama Jeans...

Lace Tights and Tweed

This pair of Tights is from a store called GoldenPoint. Its a chain store in Europe that carries nothing but hosiery in winter and swimwear in the summer. GoldenPoint 


I think these particular pair I think were the brand Omsa. They are the the perfect shade of brown and they are about a 20 or 30 Den so they can be worn into the spring. 


I paired them with my new blouse that my grandmother gave me for Christmas which is from Chadwicks and the perfect pencil skirt from Zara its a dark brown and black tweed with a simple kick pleat in the back. I usually wear Retro (from MAC) lipstick with this outfit, but forgot to reapply before I took this photo.


I have worn these tights with many different outfits, but this one is my favorite!

Tutti Fruiti

These are a pair of tights that I got when I was working on developing my own line. Needless to say I only got as far as the sample process, for now. But, the best part was I got to keep ALL of the samples for free.

These are very unique and are a very Italian looking pair of tights. There are a total of 5 colors. I thought and thought about how to wear them. Then I stumbled upon a skirt that was hiding in my closet that I bought at Athletica which was the same color as the lighter purple, and with a black shirt and black wrap sweater I was set, and I finished the look with my short black Frye Boots of course!

Purple Plaid and Dots

As I am sure you can tell by now I love purple. I didn't always mean to be that person always wearing one color. But, it just sort of happened. Here I am wearing a pair of Purple tights my friend Laura Angela brought me from Paris. They have a faux garter affect and are transparent with polka dots. I paired them with a purple western shirt from Target and a gray skirt from Banana Republic. Sort of a saucy Cow Girl-working at a Brooklyn Saloon 

Moroccan inspiration

These are my favorite pair of hold UPS! They are from the brand Love Me from Paris. I bought them in 2007. I like to pair them in ways that really make the leg detail pop. Notice the buttons on my cardigan match the pink in my blouse as well as the pink in the detail of the hold UPS.
Keep checking back for more of the Love Me brand!

How to wear Pepto Bismol colored tights.

This pair was a stretch. At first I wore them with a complimenting skirt. This time I went all out, a dress that is almost the same color, with flecks of gray and darker pink. It seemed to work and I received tons of compliments.

Todays new tights

These were a brand new find from TJ Maxx. With beautiful purple and pink stars. I paired them with my new full gray skirt from H&M and a pink top from Kohls that matched the pink in the tights which were Anna Sui brand.

The chocolate room in Brookyn

Today's purchase on this another snowy day in Brooklyn was the decadent dark hot chocolate from the Chocolate Room!

This bra comes with built in nipples.

No longer will you have to worry if its cold outside. The new VS bra makes it seem like you always a tiny bit cold.
