Love Em or Hate Em: Bright Tights

A. I am color blind

B. I go to a lot of funerals

My closet is a wide array of blacks, grays and whites. What? I like to keep things simple. But lately I have been growing bored with my wardrobe. How many times can a girl wear black skinny pants and a white top? I feel like Doug Funny and his daily green vest/khaki shorts combo. (Yeah, I just made a Doug Funny reference.)

I have been itching to throw a bit of color into the mix, but without having to buy all new clothes. So, I figured incorporating the new brightly colored tights trend was a surefire win: they are cheap and go perfectly with the 50 black dresses I already own!

Only I am a little wary – this look is great on Gossip Girl, but I am just not sure if it would look so hot in the real world. What do you think about the bright tights? Yay or nay?

    i def think colored tights are cute, but you have to be able to back up the style with confidence. if you are unsure of wearing them, people can tell. if you dont want to make that big of a jump you could always get patterned black or white tights, i have a few pairs and they def add a little pizazz with going overboard.

    I wear bright tights at least once a week, and I always get compliments. They are a great way of wearing a skirt with a bit of pizazz.

Tell us what you're thinking...

We’ve all heard of so-called “brain food.” Brain food should be healthy foods that stimulate your thinking, but I mainly use it as an excuse to eat during finals. When I started feeling sluggish after downing a bag of Skittles during my most recent study-a-thon, I decided to put down the bag of Sun Chps and look into what really constitutes “brain food.”
