Helpful Hosiery

As I transition into my fall wardrobe, I am reminded of all my fall favorites – the knee-high boots, the cozy cardigans and my trusty, go-with-everything leather jackets. Unfortunately, I am also reminded of all of those pieces that I was feelng a little bored with at the end of the last Fall/Winter season…

Now, I could certainly consign these pieces at Second Time Around and turn them into new pieces for my wardrobe, but I have decided to try to ressurect a few of them first. What will be my trick? Hosiery!

I went out and snagged some new colored opaque tights, patterned tights, knit tights, legwarmers, knee-high socks and over-the knee socks.

I am going to pair my little black dresses with colored opaque tights instead of plain black ones. Instead of leggings, I am going to keep my stems warm with over-the-knee socks and over-
the-knee boots when I wear my sweater dresses. When I wear motorcycle boots and black jeggings on chilly days, I am going to wear legwarmers to add height to my boots and warmth to my shins.

I am feeling better already about my tired duds…and I highly recommend that you give it a try!

Head to your local department store or H&M and grab an assortment of helpful hosiery. It won’t drain your wallet and it could breathe life back into some outfits that you were bored with
at the one end of the last Fall/Winter season.

Happy Shopping!
