Hi ladies! I feel like I been away for
awhile now and haven’t blogged much lately. It’s much due to laziness than
anything else. I also recently moved to a new beautiful apartment and finally
got settled and unpacked. My good friend Karen came over to help me with the
move and organize my closet. When we were putting away my clothes, I realized I
had a draw stashed with over 20 pairs of tights tangled together and it was so
messy and just something I didn’t know how to organize. She had this great idea
of rolling these tights into little bundles (like what you would do with your
socks). It was such a simple, but brilliant idea. So thanks Karen for the help
because now I’m able to easily find the perfect pair of tights to coordinate
with my outfit.
I love tights because not only are
they great for protecting us against chillier weather, they are also a great
accessory to transition your spring and summer wardrobe into appropriate fall
or winter attire. I thought I create a couple of outfits and show you guys how
I incorporate them into my work and weekend outfits.
Look #1: 9-to-5 Office Attire Styled with HUE Pinstripe Herringbone Tights
Let’s begin with
our basic sheath dress and black jacket for the office. These are 2 great essential pieces that
everyone should have in their work wardrobe, because they are easy to accessorize
to create different looks. Since the outfit is so basic and one dimensional, I
decided to pair it with the HUE Pinstripe Herringbone Tights
to give the outfit some texture and interest. The necklace and bag gives
the outfit color without being too bold or loud for the office. I decided to
mix it up and finish off the look with the black suede lace up booties instead
of your usual black pumps. With the right accessories, a boring office look is
transformed into a fun, spunky work outfit that will put an extra pep in your step
throughout the day!
Look #2: Weekend Outfit styled with HUE Herringbone Texture Tights
This is the
outfit you want to wear when you’re out with your girlfriends running around
town on the weekends. I picked a simple slouchy summer tee and short shorts as
the foundation for this outfit. You wore these simple pieces during the summer
to keep cool in the heat, but why not make use of them during the fall to
create a sexy fun look? To make this outfit even more edgy, I added a faux fur
leather jacket and black strappy sandals. The look is finished off with a tan
cross-body bag for a pop of color. A cross-body bag is also great for keeping
your hands free so you’re able to sip cocktails and dance the night away with
the gals without having to worry about losing your purse.
For the two
outfits above, I picked black and espresso colored tights because I find darker
color to be more subtle and flattering. I tend to sway towards darker shades
because they help to make the legs appear slimmer and longer and who doesn’t
want that? I was browsing through Hue’s website and also noticed their selection of
bright tights and animal print
leggings. I tend to shy
away from colors and loud prints because I’m so used to wearing darker tones. Do
you ladies wear colorful tights or leggings with prints and if yes, how do you
incorporate them into your outfit?

Glad to see you're back, Ping! I too have the same problem with tights. Rolling them into little bundles is a great idea. I am going to do the same for all my tights.
ReplyDeleteI love first look so much.
ReplyDeleteTalking about your bundling tights, I do the same too! My problem is (assuming you do the same) I can see the color not design of tights - which I've collected different ones over years. Finally getting used to finding correct ones but it was hard at first!
It's so good to see you back, we've missed your fashion sense around here. I can see that you haven't lost your touch too. This is great.
