My dream fall outfit includes the latest leg wear, tights and leggings. I have owned tights for a while but I never seem to make it out the door with them on. I never seem to have exactly what I need for the outfit to look right. Well I think I have finally found the perfect things to wear with tights...
The second outfit needs to be worn with black tights but you get the idea. The blue silk skirt was a steal from J Crew for only $10 a few months ago.

I finally figured out that the skirt or dress needs to be above the knee or tailored to fit perfectly at the skinniest part of your leg. I have two simple cotton dresses from J Crew that I love but my husband never liked. I finally realized they hit the thickest part of my leg right at my calf and that's why he didn't like them, they didn't fit correctly. Last week I took them to a new tailor and she blew me away with her knowledge. After the hems were pinned my legs looked half the size! I can't wait to put them on with tights and boots.

it's the little details, like having something tailored, that makes all the difference!
i'm really loving tights this season also, especially ones with texture.
I love tights too, yours look darling!
I'd never thought about the length before! Most of the dresses that I wear with tights or leggings are at or above my knee. I just bought boots this year, so I have to figure out how to make that work! This will help me!
I just recently found out the same info by going to a tailor. Love the blue skirt, too cute!
I adore tights! Yours look great! x
Love the outfits!
love the look! Super cute!
Cute idea! Love the skirt! Nice blog - following you now!
I adore tights! I just wish it would get cool enough to wear them here!
Isn't it crazy what a good tailor can do? (and, on the flip side, a bad tailor? I had a dress ruined because they hemmed it too short)
love the tights!
