coloured tights: blue my mind

Dress-Joe Fresh (Swapped); Tights-Aldo; Boots-Thrifted; Necklace-Macy's; Ring-H&M; Nail Polish-Blue my Mind by Rimmel
You could say I'm an accessories gal.  I own a lot of clothing (my 8 foot tall overflowing wardrobe speaks for itself) but I also love to collect belts, scarves, jewellery, clutches, hats and tights.  And when it comes to tights they're coloured and they're patterned (the funkier the better just like my tattoo tights!) Before the weather gets snowsuit cold, I thought it would be fun to dedicate a week to coloured tights.  And what better time than the week befor December (can you believe it?!)

Today I'm wearing navy blue tights from Aldo paired with a slouchy grey dress I got at a clothing swap, one of my favourite statement necklaces and a pair of comfy boots (I swear they look better in person!)


I loved the response from my mirror face post-if you haven't already try it out-you may be surprised by your reflection! Some of you wrote about 'photo faces' which I think is also true- my mirror face is pouty, my camera face is smiley and my in-person face is a combination of them both (although when I'm really concentrating I've been told I look like a snob-I promise I'm not!)


{Today I'm excited to be featured over at one of my favourite blogs, Breakfast with Tiffany!}

  5. Colored tights are so fun, especially during the cold winter days. The statement necklace is pretty fabulous too! I've been told I look mean when I am concentrating really hard. I promise, I am not a snob or mean either :)

    P.S. Your guest post over at Tiffany's was great!

  24. Hah, I've never thought much about my 'mirror face' but I'm not sure I have one. Also love your 'devoting a week to tights' idea. I have SO many awesome ones in my closet, sometimes they just don't get the chance to come out and see the world.
