Black on Black + Tights Hack



I know, I know. No black, I said. Too dreary, I said. Well, the truth is there's a lot of black left in my closet, and when this look struck me it was mostly out of necessity.
The focus of this post is the tights, so there isn't much of the whole outfit. I'll be doing an OOTD later when I get ready for the party I'm going to.


Are you guys ready for an awesome hack for tights?
I discovered it this morning when I put on this dress (Shirt? maybe) and discovered that it was really short (Shirt? probably. I'm short. I can do this). I needed to wear shorts underneath it, but all my shorts are jean shorts, which made the dress look bulky and weird. The solution?


Cut a pair of tights.
It works really well. Cut them about the length of your knee and scrunch them up until they're around your upper thigh or around the hem of your skirt/dress. And with the two leg/foot parts left over? Use them as knee high socks!

(About the quality of the photos: My regular camera needs batteries, so I was stuck with my old back up. Hopefully I'll have my camera ready for tonight when I get ready, so I can get some decent pictures)

Starting with a List

Did you know spring starts in seven days?

Suddenly as the cold weather melts into sun and warmth, we look into our closets and realize there's nothing to wear. I looked into my closet this past week and just had no idea what to do. When your closet is a mass of black sweaters and grey jeans, spring seems so far away.

I have a week and a half left until I go back to school, and I intend to make the most of that time. There's all my favorite stores with new spring collections to go binge shop in: Forever 21, Pacsun, Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch... and, I went to J.C. Penney's yesterday expecting the same frumpy attire, but oh my god you guys. It looks incredible in there. I don't know if they got completely new brands or what, but everything is shiny and white and super colorful. It looks really nice.

I got two shirts on sale (!!), including a purple lace tank top and a white lace cami-crop top. Sense a pattern there? I'm loving lace for spring.

So, with that, here are my Top Trends for Spring:

○ Lace 
○ Faded Denim
○ Pastel Florals
○ Brown Leather Accents
○ Tall Socks 

Expect pictures. A lot.
