Put A Spring In Your Step
Bright, bold, and cheery know no season, really. So pair contrasting tights and hosier with your heels and pumps -- color blocking for legs!

It's like Christmas up in here!
This is how I do the stocking hanging -- but I do that several times a week. *wink*
The stockings were hung in the bathroom with care
With hopes that they wouldn't need too much repair...
You know what I'm talking about, ladies *wink* These Pan T Boots will save you time running about, trying to find your scattered belongings -- even if it will require you some time to slip them on...
Uber mod early 70s Pan*T*Boots....black tights and boots in one! Created in the early 70s by a woman who claimed to be tired of her socks slipping down into her boots, these were only available for a limited time. This pair has it's origina tag and fits a size 8.5-9 shoe, S/M tights. Streamlined and chic, heavy enough to be worn as leggings or tights!
Love the sexy red satin ribbon lacing on the black platform pumps paired with the Xs of the black fishnet stockings!
In today's Sail Male, news that Nordstrom's tights on are sale: The Floral Column pattern is only $15.90 and the Triseam Floral Tights are just $8.90.
I'm not (necessarily) talking about the season, but falling for these over-the-knee stockings!

Slip of a Girl's got her first contest of the season started -- you can win $50 worth of free stockings and lingerie! Plus, there's a special code to take 15% off any order at Lingerie.com. I know it sounds rather lame to some, but I'd take $50 worth of sheer black stockings; I go through a lot of stockings!
Now we'll see lots less strappy shoes and pumps with white ankle socks -- in public anyway. *sigh* Parting is such sweet sorrow... (Image via.)
Wearing such light colored shoes with black stockings is a serious fashion faux pas; but the high contrast of the white or light straps criss-crossing over the dark nylon is incredibly sexy. A look best saved for nights in, where catty jealous girls won't label you a "fashion don't."

I'd love to say this was my cake, but, sadly, it's not. I'll be lucky to get a cupcake from a coworker. *heavy sigh* That's the problem with living away from family. (But I will see my family this weekend, so maybe...)
If you were so inclined, today or any day, you can send me a gift simply by entering my email address (which is shyklaudia@gmail.com) -- I'd love a gift certificate to spend at Sock Dreams, or an Amazon gift card. *batting lashes sweetly*
Even with the fancy fetish boots, this is an unlikely combination -- but I love it! (Via S & M = Smoke & Mirrors.)
So says these pages from Beauty Parade, January 1950. Sure, it's vintage; but so is my fashion sense -- and so are many of my stockings! Sure, it's campy stuff from an old men's mag; but then men haven't really changed that much, have they? (Totally fitting for our Fashion Fetish Fortune Telling Event.)
