Hooo Hooo Hoooowwwll

Hooo hooo hoooowwwll! I went to visit my old friend Karen and we had a fantastic natter about cancer treatment over a cuppa. Her hubby used to work for the local tights factory and on hearing about my blog gave me a couple of pairs of tights. This is one of them. “House of Holland” blue houndstooth tights. Yes they are very blue and yes they are very houndstoothy. In the light of the house, I decided to wear my new fluffy skechers heeled boots with them. I walked out and in natural light I looked a little more than odd.

After a quick trip to the local village shops, I felt they weren’t the most ideal footwear and opted for these grey platformed heeled boots for my excursion into town this afternoon. You decide.

My only criticism is the length. Being “one size”, I experienced wrinkly ankles and the waistband coverage was vast. My whole belly area was comfortably covered and if I tried I would be able to recreate the safe sex scene in “The Naked Gun” film.

First of 2018-19

This is officially the first of 2018-19 posts.

It’s also a rewear of Golden Lady diamond fishnets. A great looking pair of tights. Doesn’t everyone love cheap finds that keep giving.

For the eagle eyes ones out there these were first shown under the link above. For the extreme eagle eyes ones they were also featured a few months later as the first post of the 2016-2017 season.

They are obviously a great pair of hosiery since I’ve decided on two occasions to start new seasons with them and I guarantee this won’t be the last time you see them.

Marylin natta

Good news these Marylin natta D17 tights are the last stored posts I’ve got and so the next post will be back to normal business and I’ve timed it just right for the new season. Check out the contrasting garter with grid  and swirl pattern.

My mind has gone doolally

With all these backdated, saved up posts my mind has gone doolally and I can’t remember a thing about these. Luckily for me I predicted this mind lapse and noted that these were  a floral fishnet from Next. Good toe protecting area but then this happened, I must add that my only explanation for this is that my feet haven’t fair well from the chemotherapy I had. These were worn a couple of months after treatment finished and I had to adapt to the numbness I still feel in them. That is my excuse for ruining a pair of decent, strong patterned tights. On this occasion the hosiery were not to blame.

Light as a feather

As light as a feather. This is Ballerina 135, a light weight hosiery, just right for me when the weather isn’t quite cold but chilly enough. I needed a bit of glamour that day too so these were perfect. A grid base with a side pattern and garter effect of a swirl flourish possibly flowery design.

Turned out lovely

Well the wedding was yesterday and it turned out lovely. So lovely that it was too hot for tights and the azaleas will have to wait.

Instead I got a magnificent post of my 4 year old niece, a whirling disco princess NW. Dressed in spectacular stripes. She is a future fashion blogger herself and is so stylish already that she coloured in this fairy with matching legwear to her own.

My Little Bro is Getting Hitched

Today my little bro is getting hitched and to mark the occasion I am publishing an actual post. Unless  my lo tech, small brain, unresponsive fingers do something to sabotage this.

I have bought/planned to wear these Oroblu tights today if it’s not hot. The climate at the moment is so unpredictable that it could be temperatures into the high 20’s or rain and sleet in the low double figures. GP soon to be GT is into pink and all that stuff so as a tribute I got these beautiful floral tights to look girly. Also I am very pleased to announce what a clever girl I’ve been because I have bought two pairs just in case I ladder a pair. Hopefully that won’t happen and it’ll turn out to be a perfect dressing up session.

Wish me luck and have a brilliant day little bro!!

Fishnet protectors

As usual I’m revealing the secrets of a hosiery wearer with this view of my fishnet protectors.

If I’m being an optimist then this is a two for one post.

Underneath this sexy exterior lies this! An extra pair of hosiery to stop the fishnets from rubbing my soles and causing blisters. The fishnets are Donna Karan signature collection micro tulle and the socks were a freebie with an order from China.

Yes they did protect, and yes I was aware of them all the time, and yes the sexy woman aura wasn’t as sexy.

Buckle up

Buckle up for this second in a row entry for Wolford. This is “Mirella”, a perfectly tanned tight with straps and buckles.

Love the daring pattern.
