Why I Love Tights

Tights are one of my favorite accessories! They give new life to outfits, helping transition from fall to winter, spring to summer, and are great whever you need a pop of color! My favorite pair of tights for the past two years has been these BCBG oxblood/maroon pair. They seem to go with almost all of my closet. It is interesting when you find that shade that really speaks to you. I think of this shade as my color spirit animal.

This dress was a great find during my trip to Ireland this Christmas. It is a brand called "therapy" that I bought with a gift card from House of Fraser. They have some adorable dresses and the shipping to the USA was only $5! The dress arrived to my house in LA before I did too! Dont be afraid of buying from Europe, I love getting unique pieces that I cant find here in the states. (dont forget to check out sizing before purchasing, European sizes are all different from US sizing)

These booties have been a great closet staple this year. I generally avoid this type of shoe as I feel they make my legs look stubby. With the cute little cut out and nice sized heel, this particular pair works really well. They are the perfect work shoe to look cute but also be comfortable in!

My guide to wearing tights:

1. Look for a rich shade that matches back to your wardrobe palette so you can wear it with many pieces.

2. Fun prints such as brocade or lace are the perfect way to spice up a LBD

3. Dont be afriad to colorblock! I love wearing these maroon tights with a mustard yellow dress. The combo works better than you would imagine!

4. Wait till the season is over to stock up, there are always great sales on tights, especially at Urban Outfitters

5. Wearing black heels, tights, and high waisted shorts/skirt is a great way to make you look super tall!

6. If tights get a small hole in an inconspicuous place, put some clear nail polish on the edges to stop the hole from growing!

7. If they rip elsewhere, throw them out immediately! If I dont, I end up wearing them one day after forgetting about the hole - embarrasing!

8. If you get white deoderant marks on your clothes, using a clear pair of tights to rub it off will make the garment good as new!

Those are my tips and tricks for wearing tights. Enjoy the last of your tight wearing days as we head into spring!
