Dawn unfortunately I can't see the outfit (no blog sites seem to open in China at all - grrr!) but I wish I could. I love coloured tights! I have 2 purple and one blue pair that got a lot of wear this winter in Australia!!

I think it *almost* works, Dawn. I’m lukewarm in this area as you know. It’s got to be more tonal to work in my book – even when you’re 23. Otherwise the outfit looks like a fancy dress costume. I seem to be in the minority with this opinion though.

So the Kate Spade outfits look fine to my eye for the most part. They are very sophisticated I guess. That’s another key element.

I love the idea of the first outfit and think it may just be a case of finding the right shade of purple. These tights are slightly darker and more blue toned (I think) but show the different shades which are available

I really love your blue dress, well done trying something new, even if it was to escape the laundry.

Are you happy with your new flat?

dawn, LOVE the tights with the navy blue dress. like everyone else, not sure about the first outfit. i think the lightness of the top is throwing me off...

Dawn- you are adorable, and I love seeing all of your outfits. You always look put together and fun.
I must say though, that the purple tights with the pink skirt doesn't work for me.
I like them much better with the blue dress, although I still think I'd much rather see the purple in another accessory than the tights. Maybe off white tights and purple shoes, or a purple bag?
BUT-- you're young, and have a great figure, so what the hey- if you like it and feel good in it, then go for it!

So funny, Dawn- I was *just* reading this on your blog, and then came here and saw it. At first glance I felt similar to Maya- that the shirt seemed out of place, or too casual? But then I saw how well it coordinated with the shoes, and loved it :)

I have tights that colour, though I only ever wear them with black. I'm so boring, but I can't help it- I love my black!

You and I are the YLF colored tights rebels!

Somehow the first shirt doesn't look like it belongs with the rest of the outfit. I can't quite place why. Could just be my own weirdness.

Second outfit is cute.

Today's outfit: http://adressandabike.wordpres.....le-tights/

I know colourful tights, especially this colourful, aren't too popular on the forum but does this work?
