TIGHTS TIME

Cool story! So, the Windy City is currently experiencing our annual 2 week-long autumn before the temperature plunges into Bitter Fucking Cold for the next 7 months. To prepare for the upcoming Ice Age (aside: I am still kicking myself for not seeing the band at some weird warehouse show in Pilsen last year), some rad tights have entered my life. As a rule I only post outfits that I'm actually wearing but I felt like playing dress-up with my new leg jams. I want to call them Terrific Tights because Mitt Romney always says Terrific amongst his Dad Jokes, and despite being a GOPutron, he deserves credit for re-introducing Terrific into our lexicon again! Totally into the idea of casually usually obsolete words in everyday modern conversation. Though despite my utter devotion to From Hell I think I'll stay away from"pego", thank you very much. It's just not very sexy :(

Lavender sparkle tights are far more useful than they would initially seem! They look swell with the muted tones I typically wear and work especially well with black n' bits of blue. This Ever After dress actually has insane bell sleeves in addition to puff shoulders. 

Meadham Kirchhoff always has a way of creating pieces that are so distinctive to their aesthetic but fit in seamlessly with an average layperson's individual style. It's not at all difficult to style their things into a look that is wholly individual.

This outfit is inspired by Stereolab and wanting to feel like a part of their modular space world. Stereolab is one of the few bands that, through their honed graphic design and prolific sounds, have managed to create their own aesthetic, filled with things like clear plastic furniture and JPG's flight attendant costumes in The Fifth Element. Emerging Thoughts was truly kind enough to gift me these Kron by KronKron tights. I've wanted them for like 2 years despite so-called fashion rules that dictate that short-legged ladies like myself shouldn't wear things that truncate at my knees. Fuck that noise. 

These tights are truly the highest quality. I feel like I am in no imminent danger of them getting destroyed (unlike my House of Holland tights -___-) and they are made to last. Unless of course, you happen to find yourself skiing with cheese graters or something. 

also! I made a Facebook page for my blog, feel free to "like" it to "stay connected" or something. I do plan on using it for making Terrence & Phillip-style fart jokes, because I have the sense of humor of an 8 year-old child.
