So. After I wore these mustard yellow tights last, I've been really struggling with how to style them. I didn't like the proportions of the black and white outfit, and honestly the tights got some comments that really shook my confidence in wearing them.
But hey, I am not about to let an expensive pair of tights just sit in my drawer, so here you go:
Let's all take a moment, because I kind of can't believe I made that happen. Thanks to Adrien and Gickr.com!
Anyway, once again, I don't know. I like the mustard with the earthy tones of this dress (which does have flecks of mustard in it, you just can't really tell in the pictures).
Honestly, I was feeling semi okay with it until my optometrist told me that I looked like something out of the Wizard Of Oz. Then I got stuck in the rain and ruined my hair and meh.
sweater: Old Navy
belt: anthropologie
dress: LOFT

The dress and sweater are great. I'm on the fence with the tights. Don't love, don't hate. That Lulu is precious. Cherish every moment. My little girl I "just brought home from the hospital" turned 6 last week.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm weird but I really really liked the yellow tights with the black and white skirt. And this is just me, but I think yellow tights with a skirt of the same color would be too much.
ReplyDeleteWhat about those tights with that denim skirt you wore the other day? With your brown boots and a coordinating skirt. In my mind's eye, that looks really good.
I love the tights with that dress. Your optometrist is probably a very staid-looking person.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like it! I think the tights look great with that outfit. Your optometrist knows nothing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, who asks the optometrist for fashion advice anyway? Style Nation sez: this is a great combo. You look very well put-together.
ReplyDeleteHa, thanks guys. It was an unsolicited opinion, but he is very staid-looking. I will perservere with the mustard tights!
ReplyDeleteI loved the tights w/ the b&w outfit. I thought maybe a cuff or necklace or scarf to tie it together would've made people calm down a bit but I like color-blocking. This is adorable. No idea how you could make it any better. Why are people so afraid of a little color once in a while?
ReplyDeleteI like the tights with this outfit as well. I think they'd also look good with a monochromatic outfit in a dark tone, say a black or brown or deep purple dress with boots.
ReplyDeleteI think the tights look great w/the outfit today, it is fun & brings out the yellows in that dress. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteyou look lovely and funny x

I really liked these tights the last time you wore them, and I love them with this outfit, too. Since when is looking like a character from the Wizard of Oz an insult? The costumes in that movie are amazing. Your doc clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the contrast of these tights and am a bright tights fan in general. I adore the print of your dress and how the tights bring out a shade of gold in it. This is a great outfit and I don't think you should question it at all.
ReplyDeleteDon't mind those who say comments like that. They don't make an effort so probably look all blah and safe!
