WiW 3/8 - how much fun are these tights?

Tricia

I don't feel 100% fab in this - it feels a little bit boring? Or something? Maybe the belt isn't working? But I do love the tights. I got them at Target over the weekend and couldn't wait to wear them.

(By the way, does anyone mind that I generally post my outfit each day instead of doing a roundup? It's just easier for me to do it this way, but if it annoys anyone I can change it.)

Those tights are fun, although I couldn't see a pattern on the full length photos.
I like seeing one outfit at a time. I can give it more consideration that way. However, I really appreciate seeing all outfit posts. They always inspire.

Oooh, I want a raspberry cardigan now. You look so great and I don't think it's boring at all. Your tights are awesome!

I think you look great! I do see though that the outfit is lacking something to give it "ziing". I"ll have to ponder what you could do to remedy that situation.

My favorite part of the forum is seeing what people are wearing, and I do think it's easier to focus on one outfit at a time. So, keep posting daily!

okay, I pondered this while assembling a lasagna...

first of all, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your outfit... I don't want you to think I'm saying there is...
however, IMO a cardigan of that style can look mature if you aren't mindful of how you style it. I think a funky statement necklace, a quirky scarf or studded belt would have added just a touch of edge to that outfit and you might have not felt that it was a touch boring.

It looks great. I think if you wanted to zing it up a bit, you could swap in a different color of shoe.

I'm not offended, Kim! I think it's the crew neck of the cardigan - they aren't the greatest look ever for me unless I mitigate them with something to create a V underneath. I actually considered using the belt as a super-long necklace instead of a belt, but I wasn't sure if it would look silly. Maybe I'll take a picture of that sometime and see what you all think.

ah, yes... I hadn't noticed until now that the necklines of the dress and the sweater are the same.... that probably has something to do with it

Tricia, I love your thighs! I have been trying to wear patterned hose to little avail - I can only do microfishnets or similarly smallish patterns. Well done!
As for the cardi, I love the color on you and would consider embellishing it... something along the lines of what the academichics are doing with their own cardis. Perhaps just adding a flower pin would give the zing you're after
