Every time I wear these tights I want to describe them as violent tights. But, these are violet tights, not violent tights. Trust me, if these tights, or any others, tried to get violent, my thighs would squash that insurrection posthaste. My thighs do NOT mess around.
So, yes, I’m wearing muted florals and violet tights today:
I love this dress. I wore it once this spring but I think the muted colors lend themselves a bit better to fall. Or I just like this outfit better. Today I paired the dress (vintage) with my civilly obedient violet tights (DKNY via Nordstrom), a thin brown belt (Gap), taupe cardigan (Gap) and my riding boots (Born Crown “Sosie” via Nordstrom).
To sum up, love the dress, love the tights and love that my thighs strong-arm unruly undergarments.
Happy Thursday, All!

P.S. Today is Thursday and Thursdays are for thrifters but because I’m not wearing any thrifted items today I’ve linked up to Spunky Chateau with yesterday’s thrifted dress. And if you have a thrifted item you’d like to showcase, you should link up too!
Those tights add the perfect pop of color!
ReplyDeleteI really like the color combo on this outfit, and have to agree with you about the colors being suited for fall, it's lovely! =)

Steffys Pros and Cons
I love the silhouette of the dress and that you added color with the tights. They look great with your boots.
ReplyDeleteIf I ever get in trouble walking down a dark alley, I'm calling your thighs for help!
ReplyDeleteHaha, maybe that's why I have two pairs of similar coloured tights - they fought off the other colours to get into my shopping bag. :)
ReplyDeleteI took a blog-break but now I'm back! Good to see you again!
Have I told you how funny I think you are? The "civilly obediant" comment made me LAUGH.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't help giggling at your comment about violent violet tights LOL Nothing to do with fashion in the slightest, but I always end up referring to saws as "swords"!
This is a beautiful look! I love the colored tights.
