The dress is nice, and easy to just chuck on in a minute (Boden, this season, tea dress) but what I really love is the tights. These are Emerald 60 denier ribbed tights from Tabio (the light in this photo makes them look a bit bluer than they are, in real life they're a bit more green). Emerald green tights make my day just a bit brighter and happier.
Tabio sell a range of brightly coloured tights and they're good quality (they wash well and the waistbands don't dig in). I take size large (I'm 5'7). The shop I go to is in Covent Garden, and I always wander out wondering how I managed to spend so much on tights and socks.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!
ReplyDeleteI love it when you do outfit posts. I think you look brilliant and I am chuffed to bit that you like Tabio tights too. They are my absolute favourites.
Im a big fan of tights.. colored tights, knit tights.. although at my height i get major crotch baggage or tight waist bandage!
ReplyDeleteAs long as they are opaque or fully sheer that is. I hate that streached out translucent look.. when you see skin through black. BLEAGH!
I really like those ones! Tabio has such cute socks too!
Very nice! I wore a lot of brightly coloured tights when I was pregnant last year. I agree that they're great for cheering you up.
ReplyDeleteI like your shoes too. May I ask where they're from?

ReplyDeleteLOVE a coloured tight! i have a drawer full of them. but for some reason i only ever seem to wear black! i especially love cream knitted wool ones even though they are strangely lolitaesque!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress & tights!

You look gorgeous! I love the colour of those tights - wish I'd known about that shop when we were in London! Do they have an online presence?
ReplyDeleteawww. Tights are very very popular here in Germany, the wilder the better! I have to admit to a fondness for the cream woolly variety too although I's never actually wear them (!)
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable. I love your style.
ReplyDeletelove the outfit!!!! more please!
ReplyDeleteSo, SO cute!
ReplyDeleteMore colour please...

I saw this as I was Googling 'maternity tights' (which will not come in colours as nice as yours, guaranteed), so it has both made me smile and made me depressed.
ReplyDelete@Product Placement: lol I wonder if that's because I mentioned pregnancy in my comment?
ReplyDeleteAs it goes, I bought coloured non-maternity tights from New Look and they were far move comfortable than the maternity ones I had from both M&S and Mothercare. Always worth a try!

@Product Placement - so sorry. Maternity tights are weird, aren't they? It's all the gusset-y-ness. Let's blame Modesty Brown for your disappointment. Although it does sound like New Look might be worth a try.
ReplyDelete@MB - the shoes are from Clark's, can you believe it? Really comfy too.
Hello OC - LOVE Tabio. The happy tights shop.
Hi Tali - I find plain sheer black tights unsettling too, how odd?
Hi Marina - thank you :)
Hello Amina - cream knitted ones sound lovely, although they'd be grubby in a second in my house.
Conny! Thank you, m'dear ;)
Hi Selina - they do sell online, but as we discussed they don't ship to NZ. Date for your next London visit, okay? :)
Hi Joolz - I would be on trend in Germany then :) I mostly wear trousers myself, when I do wear skirts I expect my legs to cheer me up. :D
Hi Marcia, Lucia and Nina - Aww, you're all lovely! Thank you :) x
You look so fab! You have terrific style. I really love the shoes too- they look rather comfy. x jeanie
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit of the day! Tights are one of my favourite things to buy! Please do more of these if you can x
