Would you describe yourself as a trendsetter or fashion follower ?
A bit of both. I like to do weird things with fashion, but I do like to be on trend at times as well.
How would you describe your style ?
Romantic with a touch of vintage.
Does the hosiery you wear dictate the clothes,outfit you wear ?
Certain pairs do! I have special ones that I build whole outfits around. Others are accents to outfits I have put together.
What is in your hosiery drawer or closet ?
I have tights, over the knee socks, stockings, thigh highs, ummm not sure how long this list can be *grin*
How do you choose your hosiery ?
I am an impulse buyer. If it is cute I buy it.
Where do you shop for hosiery ?
sockdreams, Target, Anthropologie. Those are the main places I buy them from.
What was the last item of hosiery you brought, how much you spent etc ?
Berry Bush tights from Anthropologie $18.00
Do you prefer sheer or opaque tights,stockings or holdups,socks or kneehighs,sheer toe or reinforced ?
I love ALL hosiery! Reinforced toe for boots, they last longer that way. I used to never buy knee highs, but I am liking them again. They look school girl when done right.
Do you ever wear 10 denier tights if so how long do they last you ?
Not sure what 10 denier is. I have had tights from the 1980's that are still in my closet :), and I have had tights that lasted a day (damn that trunk in the hallway!) I also have been know to darn my tights if I really love them!
When do you wear hosiery,daily-once a week etc ?
I suppose I wear some sort of hosiery at least 5 to 7 times a week depending upon the weather. Less in the Summer, more in the Winter
What is your hosiery staple ?
Tights!
What are your style tips for wearing tights ?
Don't be afraid to go loud or make them the focus of your outfit!
Do you keep a spare pair of tights in your bag ?
I never thought of that, I just buy new if I have to. Okay, so it is any excuse to buy another pair *grin*
The best and worst things about hosiery, Love-hate ?
Love how they make my legs look and feel. Hate that they can be so expensive and that they get snags and runs.
Do you recycle your tights ?
Yes I do, I learned how to cut off tights to make stockings or over the knee and to add stretch lace to the top of them if needed. I do this for my daughter all the time, she is much harder on her hosiery than I am. You can also add cute lace appliques to cover holes if you do it just right.
