slave to fashion

i'm rocking the black tights look today. correction: i'm attempting to rock the black tights look today. i haven't worn tights since i was about 9, and i'm not at all sure that a) i can still pull it off, or that b) i even know how to wear tights anymore. i should have started with tights under boots, i think, but i went hog wild today - hog wild, i say! - and wore a knee length skirt, opaque black tights, and black heels. I AM A CRUSADER FOR FASHION, PEOPLE.


or, i look like i raided my grandma's closet. one or the other. also rocking the aunt purl bathroom shot..
TONIGHT! the hair! it comes off! pictures to come, of course!

  1. Listen, I wear black tights with flats all the time, as do many of the women in my office, and nobody even notices. I think you're fine. Almost anyone can pull off that look at this point.

  2. I wear black tights (they don't run as easily as hose) whenever I wear a knee-length black skirt, which is like ALMOST NEVER. But sometimes, particularly when attending funerals. I think it looks good. BUT, and it's a HUGE WHOMPING BUT, I am a complete an utter fashion LOSER! So, you might want to think about that. ;)

  5. Did you SNEAK INTO THE BATHROOM AT WORK for this emergency fashion consultation?

    You look great, like a cool column of black sophistication. How's THAT?

  6. Love black tights and your outfit and the fact that you're in your work bathroom (I think)!
