Coordinating my outfit
If I was normal I’d find it so hard coordinating my outfit. It’s not difficult and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Just a bit of guts will do the trick.
Starting my invasion of my hosiery storage I needed a wine red/burgundy pair of tights to match my dress. These purple ones will do, and you know what they were perfect.
Under the original post of “Gipsy tartan“, it sounds like they were worn during chemo back in 2017

News from China
Good news from China! I got some more tights!! Woo hoo!
I ordered many pairs of tights from a well known internet site and have finally received one batch. They are a collection of sheer tights in various patterns. They seemed on the smaller side and needed a bit of stretching to feel comfortable, so much stretching I thought it would be my last. There was a lot of pulling up which is never a pretty sight and again adds to the possibilty of hole making.
I like them, no I do like them, but I am a sucker for the price and all those patterns!

Trasparenze Armonica
Trasparenze Armonica, what a beautiful pair of tights. I wore these last year and reproduced the cover at home and it looked like a professional photograph.

On this new season occasion, they didn’t disappoint. A clear, bold pattern with the added benefit of being comfortable.

Beautiful Checks
Beautiful checks! Season award runner up, Wolford Kate tights. A big bold check pattern that looks fantastic. Wolford tights always deliver with great designs and comfort. This one doesn’t disappoint and have been a delight to wear again.

What to wear when it rains
What to wear when it rains, well the answer to that is TIGHTS! So I thought the summer was well and truly here but this wet stuff called rain always gets in the way and spoils my attempts to get rid of my Vitamin D deficiency, oh well, I’ll just have to keep taking the tablets.
Burlington hosiery, part of the Falke name. No name for the pattern but they are a grey checked “argyle”.
Nice diamond detail on the waistband and a wide waistband for added comfort.
I knew it was going to be a bad day when I put my fingers through them as I was putting them on, luckily it was near the top and so my dress covered the hole up. However, the bad luck was not restricted to just my hole, they do fall these tights and so a little pulling up was required during the day. That’s the worse of my luck so not really such a bad pair of hosiery really.

Bit draughty in here!
Trasparenze Armonica in Black
A great looking draughts board pattern.

I’ve tried my best to imitate the box picture. Can you tell which is the me and which is the model? No? Well I know it’s difficult but I’m the second one. Pretty close though I reckon!
