Yes it is. I tend to feel cold anyway, so it has to be quite warm for me to go with bare legs.... Also I think the weather in the southwest has been a bit better still than here in Berlin. And I agree, I would probably get a lot of use out of it as a skirt. I can definitely see the potential! Especially paired with my cropped boxy wool sweaters in fall. I don't think my usual place will do it though, they have a clear list with prices and do nothing else. But I can look for a different place when I'm back from our holiday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1288111 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 07:49:34 +0000 Ornella 1288111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, is this one of the recent outfits? We've had crazy ups and downs with our temperatures too, I can see the need for the hose.&nbsp;I love the outfit and these hose are perfect with it.</p> <p>I also love this dress and always have If it does&nbsp;not fit on top any longer you can convert it to the skirt only maybe. It's great shape of skirt on you and you could reuse the band for the high waist. Then you'll get a lot more mileage out of it. I don't think it's a complicated alteration and your regular place should be able to do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1288094 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 06:22:33 +0000 Astrid 1288094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diane! Yes, we've been having 20ºC tops, with little sun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1287657 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:51:15 +0000 Anonymous 1287657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great Astrid! I love the pattern and texture going on in your outfit.&nbsp;I can't believe how chilly it must have gone for you to be back in tights. Brrr! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1287627 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:17:34 +0000 Astrid 1287627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Anna!</p> <p>Ladywone, thanks.

I will investigate. </p> <p>Thanks Angie! They're blue. Not a dark navy blue either, more like a muted cobalt. They look definitely blue IRL.</p> <p>Thanks Sara! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1287434 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 15:17:58 +0000 Sara L. 1287434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Angie, you're not blind.&nbsp; I thought they looked like black hose at first too.&nbsp; I think they must be navy blue?&nbsp; The outfit is cute either way though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1287431 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 15:15:20 +0000 Angie 1287431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid - I must be blind. But what colour are the hose? Cute look. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1287374 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:55:10 +0000 Anonymous 1287374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could probably get away with just recreating a new zipper stop. If the slider foot is all the way down, you can cut the zipper and just fold the ends over and sew new zipper stops with thread over the teeth. I've done it before successfully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1287366 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:47:45 +0000 Astrid 1287366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Celia. Yes, our brief period of real summer temperatures seems to be over for now. Today it has been raining all day long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1287362 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:37:39 +0000 celia 1287362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit and coloured hose really suits your style.<br />ETA: Is it that cold there ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1287353 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:27:08 +0000 Astrid 1287353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shannon. :)</p> <p>Thanks Ceit! I'm not sure. It would be great as a skirt, but it would mean taking the zipper out and adding a new shorter one. I don't think I could do that myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1287352 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:22:51 +0000 Anonymous 1287352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! Is it worth trying to convert the dress to a skirt? It's a great pattern and colour on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1287342 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:02:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1287342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this look is fab on you Astrid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1287233 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 06:22:34 +0000 Astrid 1287233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Gracie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1286898 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 20:19:17 +0000 Gracie 1286898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the patterned hose in this outfit, and the lace-up Oxfords continue the leg line... looks great to me!&nbsp; Good way to hide any issues with the top of the dress and bring it out to play. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1286894 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 20:14:58 +0000 Astrid 1286894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Columbine! I don't think it always works on me either, that's why I don't wear them that much anymore. </p> <p>Thanks Inge! Yes, it's too bad about the dress. I think there was only a very small window where I had the right weight to wear this dress on its own...</p> <p>Thanks Fuzzylogic! Yes, me too. I think it's one of those pieces that always seem to work.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1286869 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:41:01 +0000 fuzzylogic 1286869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you have styled this- I would throw a denim jacket on just about anything!........ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1286856 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:28:17 +0000 Inge 1286856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear this look well, Astrid, sorry to hear you are having some fit issues with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1286846 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 18:51:13 +0000 columbine(erin) 1286846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like texture and colors going on here. It looks nice on you. I look like such a dork when I try this hah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---revival-of-the-colored-hose#post-1286842 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 18:46:36 +0000 Astrid 1286842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm more or less over wearing colored hose, it has been a while for sure. But I rather like it in this outfit, where the look is low-key and the color matches. Unfortunately this dress doesn't fit right on top, so the only way to wear it is with a structured jacket over it that stays put. </p>
