The lovely ladies from Falke have sent me these Alizee Tights and I am smitten! Sorry to give away the ending already but I can’t help it! I’m in love.

The Alizee tights are the softest and most comfortable tights I’ve ever worn. They are so detailed and beautiful, the other stockings in my drawer are getting jealous! Anyway, enough of my loving worship, here’s the review!

Short Description: Must have stylish, intricate lace tights featuring a large intertwining floral pattern. Comfort waistband and soft seam toe, ensuring all over comfort.
Feeling when wearing: The tights are so soft and delicate, I feel like a queen. An enchanting, seductive queen that is.Best climate: Autumn and winter of course (even suitable for spring)! You’ll definitely see these more than once on me this winter.Where to wear: Fancy tea parties, classy dinner dates or casual but elegant days in the city!

Welcome to Fashion my legs the blog.

Hi all and welcome to the Fashion my legs blog

We are finally back up on line after much changing, reformatting and trying new ideas . I hope you like the new look.

I started this blog as a admin of the fashon my legs Flikr group (See link) and i wanted to do something a bit different.

Its kind of a bit of a resource for legwear and related topics and i hope you will find it usefull.

I love fashion, I love the colours and most of all the creativity.

This is probably the reason why i have such an interest in legwear. I really believe that an interesting pair of tights or brightly coloured socks can change and make or break an outfit. I very rarely wear pants or trousers, only if practicality is needed say cleaning the house or cutting the grass. I just prefer skirts or dresses. I like the floaty feel. I love my femininity and i like pink!

Feel free to comment and contact me if you wish.

I get my inspiration through blogs, magazines, the peope I see, and many other places.

Who has had the biggest fashion influence on your outfits ?

I would say my mother! She always tells me what she likes and doesn't like and I always take it in to consideration. She has a great view, and I love shopping with her!

What made you start posting your pictures on chictopia ? 

Seeing other bloggers do it. I am so glad I discovered Chictopia one day, now I can get so much feedback from other people like me!

What blogs and websites do you follow and why ? 

I follow SO many blogs. It would be very difficult to compile a list! My BlogLovin' is insane. I follow the blogs I follow mostly because they are where I find the most inspiration and the best stories, and advice on life.

Would you describe yourself as a trendsetter or fashion follower ?

I would describe myself as a trendsetter yet sometimes I see things that I really want to try so I guess that makes me a follower too.

How would you describe your style ? 

My style is comfortable, classic, and sometimes a bit crazy!

Does the hosiery you wear dictate the clothes, outfit you wear ?

Sometimes, occasionally if I get a really awesome pair of tights then i'll work the outfit around that otherwise if I have an awesome dress or skirt I work my tights around that!

What is in your hosiery drawer or closet ? 

I own SO many pairs of tights.

How do you choose your hosiery ? 

I sometimes choose by color, other times by pattern, other times by texture. It all depends.

Where do you shop for hosiery ? 

Target, walmart, H&M;, other shops. I usually buy cheaper tights and hosiery because I rip them all the time!

What was the last item of hosiery you brought, how much you spent etc ?

I bought a pair of blue tights on sale for $3.50 at Target!

Do you prefer sheer or opaque tights,stockings or holdups,socks or kneehighs,sheer toe or reinforced ? 

It depends on the outfit but I mostly have opaque tights!

My tights never last that long unless they are knit!

I wear them multiple times a week!

Black tights and grey opaque tights!

What are your style tips for wearing tights ?

As for as wearing tights goes, I prefer to go as crazy as possible. My rule of thumb is if you are wearing a crazy bright colored dress/skirt I would wear plain bright colored tights that match or plain black/white/grey tights. If I have a crazy patterned pair of tights than I tend to match them with basics.

How do you put on tights?

One foot at a time!

Do you keep a spare pair of tights in your bag ?

I do not, but that is a great idea!

The best and worst things about hosiery, Love-hate ?

I love the variety, and how they can spice up your look! I dislike that they rip so easily!

Do you recycle your tights ?

If they are not ripped I tend to give them to my little cousins or donate them to Salvation Army/Goodwill.
