I wish I was one of those women that has legs up to their armpits, but alas I'm not. The pair I have are seriously flawed so in order to address this shortcoming I have become obsessed with hosiery...but not any old tights...they have to be coloured or patterned and preferably both and I am bordering on OCD about them matching my outfit. In fact it would be fair to say I have developed a total tight fetish as my overflowing tights drawer will bear witness. However, I was pulled up short yesterday when clad in outfit finished off with navy lace tights and my fave Doc Marten boots Miss Sensible chastised me for picking her up from the stables in inappropriate attire. My question is dear readers, at what stage does such legwear become unseeming for one of a certain age?
Answers on a postcard to....
Hmmm a good question. Did she mean inappropriate altogether, or inappropriate for the stables? Because if she was hoping you'd rock up in a pair of jodpurs then that's one thing. I can't see the problem otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI only have black tights. One is stripy. Now I'm wondering if I've been missing out...?
Methinks a bit of both! I don't fit into the 'horsey' set by any stretch of the imagination!! I personally don't think you can over-rate the value of hoisery as a disguise mechanism if you've got pudding legs like mine!
