Forest Stroll and Red Tights

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!

A windy walk in the forest before dinner: great way to spend an afternoon.


dress, coat: H&M
backpack: River Island
flats: Sacha
tights, scarf: Pimkie

PS: I was totally doing Anna Karina's "une femme est une femme" in my second pic, kudos if you noticed!.



PPS: what are those nut thingies on my forest-path pictures called in english? We call them beukennootjes :-D

  2. I just said this on tumblr, but I have to say it again, I love this outfit! Everything about it screams autumn perfection!
    I 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.

  15. Looks 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!

  22. Pretty 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.

  23. yeah I know they are just the husks but I was wondering what the initial nut was called! :D thanks!
