Colored Tights Outfit Decoded

14 Dec

Style Me Thrifty in green tights

I posted the above photo of my colored tights to Style Me Thrifty’s Facebook page this morning and have been inundated with questions about the origin of the items I’m wearing (I have such nosy friends and family!). ;-)

For all you curious ladies, see below. I also wanted to take a sec and explain why this photo is um, missing a torso and head. The truth is: the main goal of my blog is to help my readers lead more stylish lives on a budget — NOT to promote how fashionable I am on a daily basis (trust me, I average at least one frumpy outfit a week!). I share occasional photos of myself as examples of how to to style pieces. And well, I chop off my head because I want you to picture yourself in that item — not me (and my big forehead)! In fact, the first thing I always tell my photographer/bf is, “Don’t get my face in it!” Hence the headless photos.

So I’d like to dedicate this blog post to all those days you feel frumpy! Cheers!

Boots: Aldo (similar here and here)
Watercolor dress: Nordstorm junior’s dept circa 2008, Lush is the brand
(kind of similar here, here and here)
Tights: Spanx Tight-End in Bistro Green (c/o)
Cardi: LOFT (similar here and here)
*Tip* – Before you go shopping, check your closet for any navy items you already own. It’s the perfect color combo for green tights (or really, any color!).
