{Shirt- Macy's} {Wool skirt- made by me} {floral tights- Forever21} {booties- Eddie Bauer}
Today was colorful tights, so I felt right at home! As we mentioned last fall, we just love tights that have some pop.
I picked up my floral tights at the Forever21 store in Houston (which just happened to be right next door to our hotel!). This is my first time wearing them, and I'm hooked. I made my wool skirt last year... it took a little more time to make the "school girl" pleats at the bottom, but definitely put the skirt up a notch and is now one of my favorite winter skirts! And, my top. It was a birthday gift a few years ago, but has never gotten old in my book. I absolutely love it! How can you go wrong with a slight drape, 3/4 banded sleeves, a peasant-style tie neck, and buttons??
It just wouldn't be fair to mention everything and leave my booties out. They're very comfortable, and I think they work great with tights.
Happy Tuesday to all of you! xo, Achaia
Wow! Oh my goodness I *LOVE* that skirt!!I would say the pleats were well worth the extra effort! ;)
Blessings!

OK so this has to be my fave so far! I am a plaid and tea rose loving girl so this is right up my alley!

You know what, Achaia? It was because of that post last fall that I bought more colorful, and bolder tights. Before Black Friday {the day I bought most of my colorful tights} of last year I only wore black, navy, white, and cream tights.
I love all the pleats on your skirt. It really takes your skirt to another level.
You were able to go to a Forever 21 store! Yay! *smile* Those tights are really cute. I normally wouldn't pick those up, but now I'm thinking I should give them a chance.

Okay Achaia, I don't know how you do it but you can definitely make a plaid skirt and floral tights look smashing! Much love, NAN
