Rainbow Tights Week Roundup

I just wanted to share some of my favorite looks from this past week... I think yellow tights were a favorite all around! I also really loved the whimsical caped ensemble that Lydia sported on snow day Wednesday. I enjoyed pulling off peep toes in the winter something I had tried before but, could not do. Lastly, I appreciated Paul's enthusiasm about this entire experience! Those swirly tights are pretty amazing... What looks were you're favorite?

January 13, 2011: I'm Oke

Well, that's what the wall told me... It's probably one of the kids who lives in my building. In my mind they must have seen me snapping pictures in the parking lot and left me a note, how sweet. It's probably in admiration of the fact that I am sacrificing my normal casual friday attire to finish out Rainbow Tight Week strong! I'm pretty proud of myself too, thanks for noticing. Actually, this must also be in reference to the teal and red combo, naturally! Yup, this outfit is a winner... more than oke by my standards!

January 13, 2011: Woman in Uniform

Sorry for the "technical difficulties" AKA snow day yesterday. If I had the power to control the weather we would be done with cold and snow; I am so over it, how about you? Yup, that's what I thought but, I digress...

I'm not sure if I love this outfit today. With the pumps as pictured it reminds me of a catholic school girl uniform. I swear these tights are an identical color to what some schools require in NYC and the modest plaid just seals the deal. The other thing it reminds me of is something a lumberjack would wear especially when I added my totally warm Cougar boots. Ok, fine maybe a really chic lumberjack... but, there is still snow that I have to climb through to get to my car this morning so, warm boots ALA lumberjack it is! What would you wear with forest green tights? How are you coping with this ridiculously cold weather?

• Top: black and gray plaid dress with pockets, LOFT; white long sleeved t-shirt, Merona for Target
• Shoes & Accessories:  black Ringo Star snow boots, courtesy of Cougar (not pictured at first); green tights, We Love Colors; cut steel earrings, V'ta Jewelry; purple tote bag, Coach

My Note To Snow

January 11, 2011: They Call Me Mellow Yellow

Not rightly though because I am anything but that. In fact, I am so amped up I'm blurry... Not really this was just the best picture of the bunch but, I digress... Mustard yellow is one of my favorite colors in any wardrobe. I was so excited that these tights are such a great shade! It really punches up your outfit and goes well with a surprising amount of other colors "complimentary" or not. One of my favorites is with navy blue but, teal will do in a pinch! What is your favorite pop of color?

• Top: ivory sweater, Old Navy with a beige tank top underneath, for the modesty
• Bottom: blue, brown, black, and ivory pattern skirt, New York & Company
• Shoes & Accessories: brown pumps, Candies via Kohl's; yellow tights, We Love Colors; glass bead necklace, Christmas gift from Cousin M; silver bead earrings, Tiffany & Co.; purple tote bag, Coach

January 10, 2011: Yo, Yo Check Her Out!

That is what someone yelled to his buddy as I walked to my car this morning. I'm going to pretend it was in admiration of my bold fashion statement not anything mean or lecherous. New York City is well known for off color catcalls. I used to get them all the time when I was in high school but, they have lessened in frequency throughout the years. I suppose I'm not that young catholic school girl anymore (and I can't complain) but, I wonder if it is because I am older or more modest? Must be the modesty...

Anyway... Rainbow Tights Week! Lydia from Chic on the Cheap and I are focusing solely on the primary colors. I'm excited! Though, I'm a little on the fence about Friday because normally I can wear jeans to work and that doesn't really allow for tons of tight visibility. We are also going to be joined by Paul (a dancer) who started a blog just for this event! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

• Top: black, brown, and red paisley dress, New York and Company with a tank top underneath for the modesty
• Shoes & Accessories: black and nude vintage inspired peep toe mary janes, Madden Girl via Loehmanns; red tights, We Love Colors; onyx earrings, V'ta; black belt, included with these pants; blue Foley + Corrina City Clutch, gifted via Plaza Too
