summer tights


No, your eyes are not deceiving you. I am wearing black tights.

As evident by my face, I am as confused as you are about tights in July, in Cali.

I tried to Summer-ize the look by adding a white belt and pink polish.

But when you wear tights AND booties, not sure Summer-izing is possible.

Did you know today is National Ice Cream Day?

Just look at all that deliciousness...

wearing: gap denim top, urban dress, thrifted belt, jessica simpson booties, essie polish in bachelorette bash
worn to: ice cream lunch at FENTONS CREAMERY

Blogger Confessions: Today was not as cold as it has been. It was in the low to mid 60's and I probably would have skipped the tights and boots if my toes were painted. Tee hee :)

  1. Cute outfit nonetheless! At least it was in the 60's and you didn't burn up. I would absolutely die if I put on tights right now.

  13. We'll forgive you for the unpainted toenails. I love your ensemble and am a little jealous that you are even having mild tempartures instead the the sweat-inducing stuff on the east coast.

  21. National Ice cream day? Must there be a day for everything? I should think of which one to coin soon.
    Meanwhile you look so pretty with this look but I think you just wasted it, you shoulda saved it for fall, didn't you burn up? Or is the weather that cold there? Mehn I'm just thinking about where I am now, it's hot! That kinda outfit would be suicidal :)

  22. That's how trends start. One simply chic person starts it and then next thing you know everyone is wearing tights and booties in the summer :)

  27. Yes, tights is a bit odd but may be you are northern CA? Cause the southern part was pretty warm. Like the look though.
    That ice cream photo is delicious.

  47. Every woman wants to hear behind her the phrase: "Who is this chic woman in a beautiful dress?". A dress is a universal and obligatory thing in the any lady's wardrobe. Nothing so emphasizes femininity as this thing of a lady's wardrobe. The chief thing is to make your dress show your figure to good advantage and conceal the shortcomings. Don't forget that women's clothing is designed not to attract attention to itself, but to you - its possessor.
