Blonde Ambition, I didn’t say that there was nothing in life that I hated – just a few things. Still true to my word :0)
You’re right, Jean. For the most part, I’m not fan of opaque tights. They can look drab in my opinion. Matte black boots with black opaques and a black skirt and none of the blacks match. The opaques have pilled and the whole look lacks richness and depth. Sort of tired- looking and very flat. Or black boots worn with black opaque tights and then there isn’t any more black in the rest of the outfit. No balance. Just not so fab when black opaque tights are treated as the only option for hose and people fall back on it all the time. That’s when I don’t fancy the look of black opaque tights. Does that make sense?
However, pull together an all black outfit with texture and excitement, throw in black opaques and it’s brilliant. I guess I feel about black opaques the same way I feel about black clothing. Absolutely fabulous when worn in the right way, but often misunderstood.
The way you’ve worn leggings with boots is fabulous, Jean!
