Patterned stockings are one of my favorite things. I wear them at least twice a week. I buy them for my mom and girlfriends. If I see a new and interesting pattern, I can't resist. For a few bucks, they're such a fun addition to your wardrobe. You can layer them over bright-colored tights, wear them with boots so only your knee is peeking out, or with a miniskirt if you're feeling bold. I get most of my hosiery at Daffy's in New York. I've gotten countless pairs of Emilio Cavallini tights there. And at around $7 a pop! (orig $20-30)

And of course, who can forget leggings? I prefer these knitted footless tights to the plain cotton ones— they're a little more sophisticated and I love the subtle pattern.

those tights are fun, great post!
Thanks for your very wonderful comments on my essay. You made great points and have interesting ideas! It means very much to me that you'd take the time to respond.
I love patterned tights, too! I also love those Finsk shoes -- I've been wanting some for ages and ages!

I ADORE Finsk. I wrote a long post about Julia Lundsten a while back. Her shoes are so special.
patterned socks are what i love.
and tights.
but mostly socks
The pictures look great to me!!
Keep up the good work.

What camera did you rent out?
Honestly there are a few advance point and shoots [oh the days I long for a g11 in my hands but then I realize it's a want much more than a need and I need to resolve my DSLR issues with my 7D because we're not right for each other]
But back to the topic at hand, your shoe collection is amazing and so are your patterned tights! My mom just brought some over from probably 10 years ago [brand new, who knew she would store such a thing!] and is trying to convince me to give it a go. It took me like 2 years after the tight trend came back in to give them a go, perhaps I'll be less late with this one. haha
I'm so glad you like my shoe collection. So funny you used the word collection, because that's what it's becoming at this point! One of my New Years resolutions is no new shoes for 6 months. I just don't have the room in my little apartment!
Moms know what's up. You should try the patterned tights!
I rented a Nikon D90. I have a 10-year-old Nikon N60 film camera (a high school graduation present from my dad!) and the flash and lenses work with the digital (although I have to focus manually). I also rented a 24-70 Nikkor lens for the weekend, because it's awesome and I could never afford it. : ) Would love to hear your advice on cameras!
Wow, Catherine. You do have an amazing selection of shoes and boots. I think my favorites are the Proenza Schoulers. The heel is fantastic.
It is amazing to me how shoes have become like works of art. The clothing becomes almost secondary to them!
I'll be interested to see which camera makes the grade. Keep us posted...pun intended!
Whoop, love the tights!
