return of the tights

A couple of years ago tights were “my thing” and I always had a new and fabulous pair to share. Lately my collection has gone a little unloved (I still have around 100 pairs) due to a halt in my confidence and lack of motivation. An anonymous comment the other day mourning the lack of tights (sarcasm?) made me have a root through my drawer and I dug out these beauts which best friend bought me in Matalan last year. Paired with a realllly old Primark jumper dress this was what I wore for a lazy Sunday spent mainly feeling sorry for myself + coffee with my delightful Ellie friend. Shoe wise I went for those Blink boots from Sarenza that are starting to look a little worse for wear after my awkward attempts at walking, thankfully they are one of those styles that can stand being a bit beaten up. I cannot wait to wear proper, pretty shoes again, I have two brand new pairs waiting to be worn!

After yesterday’s post involving tights a lovely twitter follower pointed out these wonderful penguin ones which promptly became a 7am purchase before work,

I think the tights fiend is back! What are the best pair you’ve seen lately? Do you have a “thing?”

Off for my 7:15am start at work now, happy mid-week!

  11. I love this outfit. I am definitely a big fan of both patterned and coloured tights.

  12. You look so stylish as always, Laura.

    I love those tights, they are so festive (like someone else has mentioned). I used to love patterned tights but now my legs are a lot fatter since having my daughter they don’t look half as good (like they do on your legs!)

    However.. I have a soft spot for suspender tights! I have 4 pairs so far! Great for a night out to add a little sexiness to my outfit (it’s needed these days as I tend to keep all covered up post baby!)
