Gradient
Monday, March 18, 2013I bought this pair of electric blue tights a few years back when I was going through a rather colorful phase. Even now, I'm still surprised to see that I own something so bold. Bright tights are a statement piece, one that's already pushed me to my adventurous limit, so I kept the rest of the outfit as neutral as possible. One could argue dark colors just make the blue tights stand out more; I say neutrals make the outfit more wearable.

I had a pair of red tights that I wore all of one time because I couldn't figure out what to do with them and because they were So. Bold.
ReplyDeleteI like that you're going out of your comfort zone and experimenting with new styles - I wish I could be one of those gals that could incorporate patterned and colored tights seamlessly into my wardrobe like another accessory!
Surprisingly I found a red turtleneck to be relatively easy to pair, but I could also control the amount of red color showing through layers. Don't give up on your tights!
Deletelove this look! those tights make the whole look pop!

DeleteI admire you for trying new things. I don't think I can ever pull off those bold rights but you did it effortlessly.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice pop of color. Definitely electric. I wish I am as brave as you. I can never pull off those bright tights without looking funny but you did it effortlessly.

Fake it till you make it, right? ;) When I took these photos, there was a guy walking his dog back and forth, and back and forth right in front of my camera. I'm sure he gave my bright blue tights the side eye, hahaha.
DeleteYou and Elle wear bold tight beautiful. I don't think I could pull of wearing such bright tights like you and Elle.
