Triangles and Tights

I know, I know... I JUST posted these tights a few days ago! You may have noticed by now that I'm a very thrift-conscious plus-size fashionista. I tend to buy items that I know I can remix with other pieces, and these tights certainly fit that bill. I started to wear plain opaque tights today, but I wasn't feeling it once I'd pulled them up about knee-level. Too constrictive! The thing I love most about crochet tights is the amount of give they have while still keeping their shape. Bring me the stretchy!

    Oh I was thinking of getting that same jacket, it looks great on you. I really love those brogues, there so cute. And those tights are great, so it's fine if you wear them a lot, im thinking i need a pair of those! :)

      Thank you! I sized down on the jacket because I wanted a more fitted look. I have broad shoulders so I have a hard time finding jackets that fit me right. I can't button this one closed, but as I never do that anyway, I'm okay with it. :)

    I love crochet tights, but for me, they just snag on everything! I'm really not that fond of getting stuck to inanimate objects.
    But I'm really here to talk about how much I love that jacket, and that dress, and those shoes. Everything is just perfect.

      That's a fair point! I've never snagged mine... and now I'm kind of wondering why that is, as I'm totally accident prone like that, haha.

      Thanks! <3

    Love those tights, I prefer crochet tights for the same reason. Also, I hate the whole blogger "You can only wear something once" mentality, not everyone can live like that, plus its your blog, so wear what you want, hun.

    Oh and that jacket is really lovely, interesting print.

      Exactly! I like to think that when something has been remixed well, it's just as interesting even though you may have seen that specific item before. Here's to hoping, anywho! I know sometimes when other bloggers wear the same things more than once, I don't even notice unless they point it out.

      Thank you! <3
