The Tight Stuff!

Hi pumpkins,
I'm a little traumatized. This morning, my life flashed before my eyes when my tiny Miniature Pinscher, Chappie, wiggled out of his harness and went flying into oncoming traffic. I KNEW I should've taken him to doggy school when he was a mere pup, but Adam was all "nooo, I don't want to kill his spirit!" Well, spirit almost sent him straight to metrosexual heaven (where he'd be so lonely waiting for Tinkerbelle to show up). Anyway, it was totally horrid. And I tripped and fell on my knees, which made me run my opaque black tights. Truly tragic, since I was planning to wear them to a fancy luncheon today. Someone please tell me I'm cute and smart so this day starts looking up?!

Speaking of tights, I've been SO into them, lately. They just somehow really complete a fall outfit, you know? Tights, flats, and miniskirts...tights, boots, and tent dress...it's all good.





And I've noticed tons of Bold Face Names like Joy Bryant (left) rocking black ones with white party dresses (I'd like to point out that I correctly forecasted this trend a few posts ago). Such a cute way to get a couple more months out of your favorite summer frock. Anyway, I'm assuming tights have been on your brain, too, since I got this timely question from Miss Shadow:




SYB BABE: Shadow
QUESTION: "Oh Tia I love tights myself. Those really thick shaping tights look so cute like in the picture with the A-line bow dress. Any tips on finding the perfect pair or brand? Thanks!"
TIA'S 2 CENTS: My favorite, favorite pair of tights--and the ones that I so clumsily ripped today--are Spanx Reversible Tight End Tights ($32). Have you seen these? Not only are these opaque tights insanely soft and silky-thick, they--and hold your screams--they're truly, revolutionar-ily REVERSIBLE! Meaning black on one side, brown on the other. So handy, so smart, so useful. Plus, they have a perfectly Spanxian control top that reins in unweildy tummies, hips and thighs like no other (oh, and there's some special moisture-wicking technology at the feet...hark). I love these tights. I plan to be buried in them. Here's hoping tights are still all the rage that year.

xoxo,
Tia
