These are just some lacey tights, you can probably find something similar in lots of places, these were from Primark so were probably about 2 quid. They're not particularly special but they're a good basic and girly and pretty.

 

 I actually really like the quality of Primark tights, these ones fit beautifully, they're really elastic and cling to the curves of your legs.

I'm back!

Yes, after my short year-and-a-half long absence me and my legs have returned... Jesus I'm a rubbish hosiery blogger! I truly apologise. 

BUT I'm back now and have even more lovely tights, stockings and socks to share with you, hope you enjoy!

So to kick us off, here's a lovely and unusual pair which I think came from New Look. They were cheap anyway. And I like that the sheer part isn't too dark for my pale, pale legs.

I'll be back tomorrow in a whole new year with more pretty things :)

Thanks to all my remaining followers!

Measles

Ah, as with hearts I hoard tonnes upon tonnes of polka dot tights in all colours. These red ones are just lovely:

 

They were from H&M and cost about £4. They also come in white and black. They come in S, M, L or XL so I bought the biggest for comfort. They fit beautifully. You can't see in the photos but the base for the polka dots is tiny red mesh instead of just sheer stocking material. Lovely.

Blushing Polka Dots

Todays tights are similar to the primark tights I featured a couple of days ago, sheer with a black pattern. I'm favouring styles like this recently as it's so hot, they're nice and thin so they're cool, but the pattern makes them interesting. And they're probably a lot nicer than my bare legs :P

These are sheer but a slightly odd colour, they're a pinkish blush shade instead of a straight nude (they look paler than they are in the photos). it's kind of cool but also makes me look slightly sunburnt. I got these from Urban Outfitters for about £10. They're absolutely wonderful quality for the price. While they're very thin they're also very strong and haven't snagged at all and seem like they'll be resistant to laddering. I got them in size M/L and they're so so comfy. I'm not particularly tall (about 5 foot 8 or 9) but often tights are way too short for me and I have to pull ridiculously to get the waistband past my crotch (attractive! :P) but with these they're wonderfully stretchy and fit perfectly. Happy times!

Here is an outfit I've paired them with recently:

 

(please try and ignore the hideous bin next to me!)  

I went for a cream coloured dress with black polka dots and a big black pompom on my hair, so i'm all matching! I think it's a cool look personally. I also think you could pair this with plain black clothes for a more sophisticated look. What do you think would look good with these? :)

Sheer hearts

Wow, thank you to everyone who is following me already! I feel very undeserving with only one post under my belt so far but I am so so grateful!

Onto the tights!

 

 

These are sheer very fine tights with a black heart print design from Primark. The quality isn't particularly high, you can see I've already got a few ladders, however they fit really nicely, are comfortable and they were only about £2. I got these a couple of months ago so they might still be available. I'm really pale and pink so sheer tights often look a bit weird on me and these ones do look a little too dark and yellow on me, but not terribly so. Also, once again, they are pretty. And cheap! 

These tights are really versatile because, while they have a fun pattern, they're just sheer with black so they don't really clash with anything you're wearing. And they're good for summer because they're so thin.

Introduction and Anchor tights

Hello! And welcome to my new blog. I assume the majority of you seeing this will have come here through my makeup blog, but no matter how you found it you're very welcome :)

I've made this blog because I own about approximately 3 million pairs of tights (a close estimate) and often don't give them the love they deserve, so posting pictures of my collection will hopefully inspire me to wear some of them more often! Most posts will just be photos but I'll also do reviews, fashion posts where I'll show you different outfits that go with my tights and various other hosiery related shenannigans :)

A big thank you to Claire who made my beautiful header and background. In honour of it my first post is to showcase the closest tights I have to the cartoon ones!

As you can see they're sheer navy tights with a small anchor pattern all over. These were from New Look about a year ago and I got them in a sale so they were about £2. They're not the highest quality, they've snagged a little and are a little on the small side for me, but they're pretty who cares? 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll enjoy what I have to come :)
