My personal feelings on sheer stockings in general is that, unless you HAVE to, don't. It is a little 80's/Brooke Astor. <BR/><BR/>Tights are a whole other story. I love opaque tights. Love love love. I am actually pleased that people are finally coming around to the idea of a dressy dress with opaque tights too. <BR/><BR/>As for the tights with peep-toes, I think it can be cute on the right person, however that person is not me. If you are that person, rock on.caphillbarbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13778357585720668415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25371334.post-37882894849421013332007-12-11T09:51:00.000-05:002007-12-11T09:51:00.000-05:00I'm going to be the lone voice of dissent on the t...I'm going to be the lone voice of dissent on the tights/peeptoes issue. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer when it comes to doing this, unless the hose you're wearing is anything less than *super* opaque. Sheer is just not good all-around -- doesn't keep you warm and reminds me of older women at church. I love wearing black tights with gray suede peep toes or gray tights with burgundy peep toes. Or black with black, of course. <BR/><BR/>Different tastes for differet people, I suppose.Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711853969686993763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25371334.post-2966296101989282442007-12-10T22:25:00.000-05:002007-12-10T22:25:00.000-05:00Thank you for nixing the open-toed-shoes-with-hose...Thank you for nixing the open-toed-shoes-with-hose look!

If you're lucky, you can find something that looks simple and classy enough to work in a professional and formal setting. I happened to come across a pair of black Nordstrom heels that looked great with a black strapless dress and will work well for a summer job or internship. Sadly, the shoes are no longer available on nordstrom.com :(Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03878327001239574546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25371334.post-32336669161339223832007-12-10T09:14:00.000-05:002007-12-10T09:14:00.000-05:00ROFL!!!!
