Why Did You Wear That: She’s Got Legs.

legwear editorial fashionOh, hey.  It’s snowing again.  Blame that damn groundhog… or global warming.  Whomever is to blame, it’s bone chillingly cold and frustratingly difficult to get dressed each day keeping both style and thermometer in mind.  One tires of wearing only jeans and pants and our poor little frocks have been left hanging lonely in the outer realms of our closets.

A great way to add interest to a basic little black dress is with fashion legwear.  Not to mention, a wonderful way to show off those stems you’ve been keeping in shape all winter long.  Another option?  Consider layering plain black tights under some of the open work options to achieve the same look without losing the warmth.  And speaking of layering, don’t be afraid to layer over the knee options on top of tights.  Play with texture and patterns to keep things interesting until the snow melts and the sun comes out again.

Why Did You Wear That: Put a Sock in It

By |August 4th, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

Considering this summer has been my coldest on record, I have decided to go ahead and embrace the fall fashions that are already in store windows. As you’re aware, I’m obsessed with boots and I have always loved legwear (perhaps it has to do with my own time spent in private school) whether it be cable knit tights, over the knee socks, or just some good ol’ fashion knee socks. That’s why I’m elated to see a the return of socks with a vengeance!

Chunky knit socks with boots is the first way that I’m loving legwear:
