If there is anything I love about fall and winter, it must be the fact that my tights come out to play again. Simple bare legs just don't really add anything to the outfit you put together, but tights do! My number one tip which I repeat again and again: DON'T grab the obvious simple black pair of tights unless you don't have a choice. An extra color, print or texture can add so much to an outfit. I especially love neutrals like navy, brow, oatmeal or grey, but I see dark red as a relatively neutral color too: goes with so much and isn't TOO "hey look at my bright legs". So today's tip: experiment with your legwear, people!

ReplyDeleteI just said this on tumblr, but I have to say it again, I love this outfit! Everything about it screams autumn perfection!
ReplyDeleteI agree, colourful tights add much more to an outfit than bare legs or black tights. I need to get a few more, especially dark red and burgundy! I just have bright red ones.
I always get excited when I can wear tights again too. It was cool enough for me to wear them today so I'm super happy! I love red tights as well. You look so cute in yours!
ReplyDeleteI love you too! <3 :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful autumn colour!

Great tip. I wear black tights way too often.
ReplyDeleteLove this! It's just so... autumnal! I have a place in my heart for black tights but also for coloured tights and just wish I could buy a few more colours this year, grrr. Will dig my red ones out anyway!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's getting pretty chilly already over there! I always love that coat on you, great look w/ the dress & coat, & pretty scarf, great layering example (I always need help on this when it finally cools off & I have no idea how to dress : ) Such a beautiful forest, lucky you to be so near it!

Oooh you look so cute with that sailor jacket!!! And I still love the hair !!! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love your tights. And your hair. AND your scarf. And actually the entire outfit. You always have the best outfits, and I adore the colors in this one!
ReplyDeletePretty sure those just nut husks, or nut shells? I really love tights, they're like an extra way to pop in colour. Now I just need to accumulate some good ones. And since I snagged some thigh-high leg warmers, I'll be able to wear spiffier ones in winter without freezing hehe. I really like the red tights with this dress, and the photo of you and the leaf blocking your eye is too cute.
ReplyDeleteyeah I know they are just the husks but I was wondering what the initial nut was called! :D thanks!
ReplyDeletegorgeous! love how happy this outfit is!
