I hate colored tights. They're alright on other people, but I hate them on myself (see my scowl in picture #1?). The fact that I own about a bajillion pairs of them is quite odd, then. But I figured I might as well make the most of it, so I'm challenging myself to put together outfits involving my colored tights. I have teal, yellow, orange, purple, light purple, blue, grey...we'll see how far I get before I lose my mind and quit. Hint: it's not going to be long.
Truthfully, I'm getting quite tired of winter outfits. Dressing for winter is fun before Christmas because you can wear plaid and fairisle and sugar and spice and everything else, but after the holidays, that stuff feels a little stale. January is that annoying in-between period, and it's just not fun. Do not want.
My two classes start the day after tomorrow and I am excited! I'm one of those people who functions best when they've got a lot going on, so this should get me back on schedule and out of my winter rut of doing nothing but watching T.V. and gaining 10 lbs. Here is a picture to express how I feel right now. Yeah, that's right. Happy.

You look great in your teal stockings so turn that frown upside down hehehe
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of coloured tights but the teal tights look awesome on you! Seriously! xo
ReplyDeleteI hate colored tights too! And I also function better when busy, plus I lose weight. BEST PLAN EVER!

I love your outfit! Your blog is super cute too! Great layout! <3
ReplyDeleteCute outfit Ashley! I love your tights. I wish I was brave enough to wear colored tights but for some reason I think I'm too old to...?
ReplyDeleteI actually really like these coloured tights on you! Especially with those cute shorts. I completely agre with you that winter dressing is more fun before Christmas than after Christmas. And now it's -20 and snowing, ugh.

Lovely outfit and you are stunning! xxx
ReplyDeleteLooove it! I love colored tights on you :)
ReplyDeleteI like being lazy and watching tv all day, haha, but thats because I work a lot :(

I love how you pulled off wearing the teal tights without looking like an elf or something. (Elves are nice and all but...) Gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteI also do a lot better when I'm under a ton of pressure. I've been using lists to motivate me over the winter break. I haven't gained any weight over the break, but I didn't lose any either! I'm hoping to lose ten of the thirty pounds I gained since high school before spring break.
ReplyDeleteI've never worn colored tights. I think I'll try it sometime. Better yet, some leggings with a crazy pattern...
cute outfit
ReplyDeletelove the shorts

I love colored tights. Not on me. On other people. Like you! Not me. Definitely not me.
ReplyDeleteI definitely function better when I have a butt ton of stuff going on in my life. Too much free time makes Bonnie go crazzzyyy.

It's your life and you can wear what you want. I hope you find enthusiasm somewhere for the cold Winter months.
ReplyDeletelove how porcelain ur skin looks in these pics!
ReplyDeleteI love colored tights, lol! I went a little crazy last winter and bought way too many of them, I think I have teal too. They look cute on you. I love those floral shorts too. Ha, that last picture is great! :)

I love colored tights! I just picked up a bunch of new ones because all of my old ones were gross/holey/pilly. Now I want to add teal ones to my closet too. I think they look really cute on you, even if you don't like them so much :)

Great outfit! I love those shorts xx
ReplyDeleteI love the coloured tights here, Ashley! I know what you mean though- I love them on other people but they don't always work for me. Something to do with my huge, muscley legs, no doubt.

I find that I can only wear teal and red tights. Thus, I have 3 of each color in my sock drawer. But I wish I could pull off mustards and greens. They just give me scowly face.

I think the colored tights look cute on you. As for winter,I am so over it.
ReplyDeleteI love these tights and I think they look lovely on you. I do love coloured tights though, I have a bit of a 'thing' about coloured tights. I have a ridiculous amount! Also love these shorts. Hope you're classes go well and you are as excited in a weeks time :P

Love the tights and the polka dot scarf.
ReplyDeletexoxo navy & orange.
haha, your jumping for joy photo is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI challenged myself to a colored tights week last winter, and I have to say, this winter I'm kinda over em. Though I do like my mauve-grey pair, they still work.

Great snaps. Are you taking a course on photography at college? You'll be a natural at it for sure
ReplyDeletelove this outfit and the photos are just beautiful
ReplyDeleteglad you are excited about going back to classes!

I think people think my style is quirkier than it actually is because I only seem to wear my purple, yellow, or hot pink tights when I'm in a rush to get out the door, realize none of my black tights are clean, and throw them on with whatever outfit I was planning on wearing anyway. Anyway, the point is, I never look as coordinated in coloured tights as you do here! I love the teal colour.
ReplyDeleteBlack tights all the way! Actually I was surprised when recently I realized I have tons of colored/ printed tights too. Where did they come from???
ReplyDeleteI'm sick of winter dressing too! We've had winter for 7 days now, I mean we finally have snow to our asses for a week now, and I'm totally over winter already!
But we'll survive! ;)
oh you look so beautiful in this pics especially the last one, the sunglasses do wonders on you.
