In light of my promise to dress more adventurously for work last week, I made the effort for today's placement. Or rather my housemates did. I couldn't quite decide what to wear, so my friends took up the challenge and picked this denim dress. We were discussing funky patterned tights at the time, I pulled these out of my drawer and they insisted I wear both items.
So here I am.
I've always been a bit wary of patterned tights I will admit. They're the kind of item I love in theory; when you go to Primark and they have those tight-wearing legs sticking out of the wall, looking all disembodied and fashionable. However, when it comes to wearing them, I just can't do it very often; maybe it's because I own too many other patterned garments that there just isn't room for my legs to join it. I still can't quite work out if I like wearing these tights or not, but the rest of the day will tell. They are good for temperature regulation though; my legs are at once covered and ventilated, which is pleasant!
I now have the excuse to wear my newly acquired earrings, which are very detailed for such a small item. There's gilded snakes around black and gold birds and flowers. I felt I needed something gold today, so not to clash too much with my black leg-lace.
