11/30 [11/16/10]


Yesterday was an odd day in the blogosphere. Everywhere I looked it seemed as though someone was wearing or mentioning something I had on.

It’s November and for most of us it’s getting cooler. This is not necessarily the case for Tanya who lives in Namibia, where right now it’s summer! But her post yesterday was about tights and how this type of legwear is a great example of Form meets Function. I couldn’t agree more. I love tights, but who doesn’t? Recently, I’ve started branching out with new colors and textures. Yesterday was the first time I actually wore tights like the above and here was my one of my new bloggy friends hitting on the key piece of my outfit that day.

{coincidence}

Then I saw Kate’s post. Kate has adorable style and I’m so glad that I discovered her blog. Yesterday she was wearing a skirt over a dress - a trend we’d both seen and heard a lot about, but hadn’t yet put into practice. Here I was reading her new post, enjoying my morning cup of coffee, wondering if any of my co-workers would laugh at my polka tights or realize I was really wearing a skirt over a dress.

{insert me laughing at my desk and frantically leaving comments for my above friends}

Then Linley, oh Linley! She put me over the edge. Being the shopaholic that I am, I immediately recognized her tunic. Why? Oh because I was wearing it. Now, Linley opted for plaid, while I opted for paisley. She zigged, I zagged. Tomato, tomahto.

So this post is dedicated to my new blog friends – Tanya, Kate & Linley. A special thanks to Kendi and the 30 for 30 challenge for making a post like this possible.

Pin It!

    As with every remix, you look beautiful - so feminine yet sexy! Love the detail on your blouse. AND THE TIGHTS! Perfect with the subtle polka-dot detail.
