Roll 'Em Down

With indoor pictures you learn more about me than you probably cared to. Now you know I drink deer park water, need to change my scent bulb, and crate my dog. Not bad things but pretty useless.

On another note, I really dislike all tights except for We Love Colors. The tights I am wearing are from Kohl's. They are from the Simply Vera line. I love the shimmery brown color but hate that as soon as I sit down the waistband rolls down. This is not acceptable! We Love Colors arethe only tights I have found that do not do this.

Copy Cat

So, I basically stole this outfit idea from Liz over at 26 And Counting. Her outfit was just too adorable and I couldn't pass up the oppportunity to replicate it. Here is how Liz wore it:

I am wearing my new tights from We Love Colors today! The tights are pretty awesome. They are very pigmented. They didn't roll down constantly which is awesome. By the end of the day most tights I wear are constantly rolling down. That is incredibly frustrating! The only negative to the tights is that they are pretty thick. I don't know if I will be able to wear them once the weather warms up.

Snakes On A Skirt

I experimented a little with using the flash when I took these pics. The pic on the left is no flash and the pic on the right is with flash. There are positives and negatives about both. If I had more professional editing tools, I am sure I could light the no flash pics in a way that I liked. Right now I just use PhotoScape. At the moment I don't have the funds to purchase Photoshop.

I really like this blouse. I bought it the weekend before the challenge started at The Loft. They had 30% all regular priced merchandise. I needed a nice, white blouse and this one is perfect!

My little dog, chewed a hole in my only pair of black tights. So I broke the rules and bought another pair. I couldn't go 20 without black tights so I went to TJ Maxx. I thought I would be able to find a quality pair there without spending a lot. Apparently, they get rid of their tights after Christmas because they only had one pair left in my size. This pair was on clearance for $4 so I bought them. Well before lunch, I had a large tear in the inside of my thigh. By the end of the day, the tear ran up from my knee to the top of my leg. Awful! So I am going to order a pair from We Love Colors. I am going to order a pair of the MicroFiber Solid Color Tights in black and a pair of the Solid Color Tights in black. I wear tights pretty much year round so I don't want the MicroFiber tights to be so thick I can't wear them to work in the summer. This will be my test of We Love Colors. I hope they are as great as everyone says!
