But I did find some interesting things of my own in there. I have this thing for funky tights...and HATS!
I love hats! I would wear one every day if I could. Yesterday I wore these tights and had a similar experience to Joys a few weeks ago. Maybe its the color or something but I kept getting stopped by people who wanted to know if they were tattoos! What? Seriously? uhm....no. One guy even pulled on them to make sure. ewwwww. Joy and I thought it was pretty funny that our tights have caused such a stir in Madison County, GA.

| Tattoo's? uhm...no. lol |
I do have one little evil holiday secret. One of Spouses clients brings me a christmas pin every year. I look forward to my "Helen pins". I have about 10 now and wear them every day. So, I do have a tacky holiday bling thing too. This is the pin from this year. Its silver and pink and fun! And it looks perfect on this Arden B coat from a consignment store ($15). Love it!
Don't believe me about the hats? Here's the proof. And this was just the last couple days!
Stay warm and have a great weekend. And by the way, we would love to hear about what holiday fashions you have fun with.
Oh my gosh!!! I have those same tights! I got them last year because I thought they were sooooo cool! Alas, when I put them on, I felt like my legs looked like they either had some kind of skin disease OR possibly my legs got turned inside out. Another dilemma of mine in which I really like the way it looks on someone else (YOU) and feel like it look ridiculous on me! By the way, I just cannot make myself put on holiday clothing. But Joy looked adorable in all of hers...they were all so unique! ~Serene
ReplyDeleteDon't tell Joy...but I will take the pins, hats, and tights over the sweaters any day!! SHHH...we will keep that a secret!
ReplyDeleteThe tights with that coat... Bold Choice!
ReplyDeleteI'm just saying...xoxo
Love the pin thing!
You can rock a hat, I have hat envy, btw your hair looks fab in the coat/tight pic.
I love hats too! They are so much fun and add some sass to an outfit! :)
ReplyDeleteThose tights are super fun - although I don't know why people think they're tattoos! lol
Hmm, I like those tights...but I can see where a stranger might think they were tattoos!
ReplyDeleteSerene: We are kindred spirits or something. You could totally get away with tights like this so get them out and get them on girl :)
ReplyDeletePam:shhhh...we will keep it just between the two of us...no one else will ever know ;)
silvergirl: It was a bold choice..and a COLD choice. It looked sunny and I went out and brrrrr...I had to throw on a coat. I think it worked though. ?
Kelly, I bet you look great in hats! And with your haircut it would be super cute.
Terri: Joy and I decided that when you have crazy tights they need to be a crazy color. If you have anything that is remotely skin-colored it will throw people off. And these are kind of sking colored. Buyer (of tights) beware. YOur legs may be touched for proof.
Oh, how fun to have a little pin collection! And, I totally second your motion re: hats. They're the best! Society would be more civilized if we wore (and doffed) our caps again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great coat and the pin is adorable and looks fab with it. Who ever thought of a pink & green Christmas tree pin is a designer after my own pink & green heart!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same think about the tights - if they were a different background color, it wouldn't be so confusing.
I'm not a Christmas-sweater-wearer myself, but I enJoyed seeing Joy's sweaters :)
Hey, y'all. I'm not done with the sweaters. I have a couple of more!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see someone else is not a festive holiday sweater collector..I mean nothing against those who ARE..no names mentioned...
ReplyDeleteBut there IS other festive fun to be had! Earrings, hats, pins, stockings ALL OF THE ABOVE! I Went with the stockings....
Yummy coat !!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am getting photos in of pearl-clad ladies today!
so exciting!!!
Can't wait to see your's and Joy's!

I can't believe someone was so convinced those were tatoos that they'd invade someone's bubble to find out. Ew is right! And I LOL'd at the part about teaching/holiday sweaters. My mom is the counselor at an elementary school and I'm always teasing her that it's only a matter of time before she drinks the kool-aid and buys one!
