A fate or it's a desire

Is it me or are these the most amazing tights you have ever seen? I may be over exaggerating just a little bit but I almost fell out of my chair when I saw them. Well, I'm actually sprawled somewhat haphazardly on my bed since it's 1:30 in the morning but you get the idea. This month seems to but quite full of these falling out of my chair moments.

Anyway, these tights are a DIY project by a Miss Cocorosa. I'm very tempted to try to recreate my own as well as inspired as to what other embellishments I could try adding to a pair of tights. Maybe some patterns using strings of small beads? But alas, it will have to wait until after my exams are over.

It's no secret I love hosiery, especially unusual ones. I'm even somewhat okay with that whole leggings as pants thing... somewhat.

Playing with dye

Is it weird that I'm a little bit in love with Moschino's S09 line? Their perfume ads I can't stand but their combination of bows, harlequin prints, and spring colors has won me over.


What really stood out to me were the sheer blue tights and with a little help from the abundant number of tutorials to create last year's ombre tights, I made my own.


These were the tools plus some laundry detergent and water. H&M currently has some 20 denier tights in colors that I personally don't care for and this light blue pair worked for my project.


Yes, that is my sink and a toothbrush. I probably should've covered everything around it. There was a thin layer of blue powder all over the sink counter when I finished and the blue water turned my gloves green. not cool


I soaked them for about 15 minutes before rinsing them in cold water.

I'd love to do a whole monochromatic look but I don't think that'll happen anytime soon due to my current and neverending lack of funds. I'm still working on that whole getting a job thing. I prefer them with white shoes but I bought these online and they're a tad bit too small. Plus, even though I love the backs, they have a horrid 80's pointed toe. Now I need to figure out how to get rid of them.

I suspect I was a bit delirious the day I wore them to work. I think it looks fine in a mini skirt but even though my coat ended about an inch above the knee, it looked slutty in a not necessarily good way with my coat on. Sheer tight will do that.
