Sea Legs

DSC_0440

These tights got me so many odd looks today. I wear colored tights all the time, as you guys know, but for some reason, green is the color that makes people question my sartorial choices (well, at least enough to give me a look that implies as much). Oh well, I'm still a fan of said tights. Also, they remind me of the Shins song "Sea Legs" due to their being the color of murky lake water, though I'm not sure tights are what James Mercer had in mind when writing the song. Anyway, I'm currently rambling and should really be reading some Shakespeare before going out later, so, uh, off I go!

  1. It's so funny because I'll wear things on the blog that aren't that crazy and are just the "norm" (like mustard colored tights!). And then in real life, I'll wear that outfit, and people will stare me down like "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING!?!?" hahahaha :) i love it. You rock those teal tights!!

  3. I love the color combo! Teal is one of my favorite colors and when people give me weird looks, I just pretend they're jealous ;]

  4. You know I love a good Shins reference, and I think I might be warming up to colored tights as well- my favorite maroon ones have a hole in them, so I think it's time for my first order from We Love Colors! :)

  5. My sister and I used to share a similar coloured pair and they were my favourites! And then sadly got a hole, like all our other awesome tights. Doh.

    Thanks for the birthday twitter greetings, by the way : )

  6. You look great!
    It's funny because I get this a lot, mostly with my shoes! I don't even wear crazy shoes (like my garrens from blowfish, for example), people always stare at me just because I'm not wearing sneakers! haha;)

  8. Oh that sweater looks so cozy! I think those people staring at your legs are just jealous that they can't pull of such a great color pair of tights!

  9. I saw on modcloth they'er one of the most popular colours which surprised me. I really like your.. maybe I'd describe it as your aztec print dress, which would look great with these, if you like to go all matchy-matchy.. which I sometimes do >,<

  13. The tights are the cute quirky hint that you give in all your outfits, making them some of the best I have ever seen and inspiring me so much, so keep on doing what you do and ignore the odd looks.
