Mr. Hose and I are off work so we’re getting a bit of culture. The plan was to absorb some art with visits to Nottingham Contemporary gallery and one we’d not tried, the New Art Exchange and lunch. My look of the day had to reflect this bohemian day. My ASOS suede red dress came out with my knee high boots and my Gudrun and Gudrun oversized cardigan. The best hosiery to match these were obviously a pair of distinctive net tights like these Calvin Klein crochet fishnets. With my hair plaited I felt properly arty farty. Underneath this persona […]

We’re having a Lara Lara laughs with these Wolford tights. Soft, comfortable, who could ask for more. This is why these are a constant repeat wear.

What’s so funny? My tights obviously! These are “funny” tights by Oroblu. That’s their name not the ha ha funny. A grey and black interlocking zig zag design creating a grid. I liked them a lot, comfy and fun but not silly.

I need to kick-start my mojo to blog. It’s been ages so here it goes… Dropping hearts onto a bed of hearts is this design. Mirrored/reversed on the other leg. They are a pale shade of nude which made me a bit self conscious but I then realised they’re no better than my present leg shade. For some bizarre reason I think my legs are a lovely builders tea colour eventhough I never sit in the sun and I don’t believe in trumping them.

Oroblu weather we’ve had lately and it’s mid to late March. I’ve got you a special today which I actually wore last night on a meal out with my pals. Oroblu Lucilla tights with a polka dot design. They even looked brilliant inside out So a white dot on an opaque black background. Smart pattern with a strong denier. Since it was still cold I wore them with an added layer of sock. I’m am soooo good at playing matchy uppy!

This is the selection of tights I have been wearing during my recovery. With a mending scar from my belly button downwards, wearing lycra rich hosiery would have hurt too much. I needed tights that for me pulled up high up my belly, had a looser fit and were less likely to fall down. Granted all I am doing is moving from sofa to sofa to bed but it was better for me if they were belly warmers.  I am still in recovery mode and I shall be still choosing these comfy favourites but I am starting to wear other […]
