when the kate spade fall lookbook first came out, i squealed because the looks were SO. CUTE. and i was dying to replicate them once cooler weather rolled around.
images from the clothes horse.
then, i realized one big problem. The Tights.
ladies (and gentlemen, i suppose?), i fear the colored and patterned tights. i adore them, don’t get me wrong, and own several pairs, but always seem to balk at actually wearing them. well, NO MORE. yesterday i wore a colored tights-centric outfit, and i plan to do so for the rest of the week continue experimenting. the results:
dress, cutiemus. cardigan, target. shoes, target, thrifted. burgundy tights… i don’t remember.
i didn’t necessarily have the items to replicate any kate spade looks, but i went for the same colorful, whimsical, bright feel. thoughts? how do you rock colored or patterned tights?
Gorgeous, hunny!!! LOVE this color combo, and that dress is divine on you!
Doll, this looks SMASHING! Even with a more subdued palette than the Spade looks, I think you’ve captured the essence of the bright-tights-patterened-dress look. Adore it.
This looks so fantastic!!! Seriously, what a fab look. The colors are so perfect together, and look killer on you. Lovely!
This is beautiful on you. I think if you’re little unsure about colored tights, darker colored tights are the way to go. You get the fun of “color!” without the crayon-legs look of red or yellow. But I’m sure you could make those work too.
You look great! I think this experiment can definitely be called a success. π
That is FABULOUS. The color combo is incredible, love love love. I think with your youth you can also get away with an even brighter tight. Do it while you can; I wish I could!
You’re off to a great start!! The bright colored cardigan helped with the look you were going for even though the tights were not bright. You’re dipping your feet and getting the feel for the look. Can’t wait to see how the rest of the week progresses!! I recently bought my first boldy patterned tights and I can’t wait until the weather cools down enough to wear them. (Ugh! It’s still in the 80’s here!!)
I LOVE this, especially the colors π
I love the colors! I’m looking forward to seeing how else you use colored tights. I seriously need some inspiration…
Loved the colors! I always want to wear yellow even though it washes me out..
Anyway, I tend to wear a lot of black, so I mix in the color with jewel-toned tights and crazy jewelry π
