"I didn't want to run around in tights, swinging a sword."
Leonardo DiCaprio
When you are a girl living in the Pacific Northwest, tights are an essential part of your wardrobe. It is nearly impossible to go six months of the year without the classic "skirt with your boots and plaid" ensemble. You want to do this comfortably. This is where tights come into play... In my case, today I wore two pairs of tights to ensure maximum warmth in the shortest skirt number I have put together yet. Under the already pictured black Target tights dwells the brown Target tights and over that, the Target grey long socks, Frye boots paired with the dress worn as a tank top with a skirt donated by Lauren from UrbanOutfitters, vintage black belt with gold clasp, purple AmericanEagle scarf, gold chain necklaces that belong to my mother, silver ring from a local store in Olympia, AmericanEagle peacoat (the Edward Cullen jacket as my good friend James likes to call it), and a hand knit cream hat.
I clearly believe that all lady-like manners can go out the window when it comes to sitting on the floor when tights are on. Other rules for tights to live by:
1. Striped tights are a bad idea, seriously, don't buy them
2. They do not make spreading your legs socially acceptable, ever
3. Once you have a hole in them, keep wearing them, it only adds to your Western style
4. Tights and leggings are NOT pants. Thank you.
