Thank you for your suggestions on my last post, one that came up quite a bit was about my tights, and how do I store my forty odd pairs?
Well, since I had my bedroom re-done I now have a designated tights storage area! I'll admit, it's already overflowing, perhaps I *do* have a slight obsession going on.

There is some method in my madness, coloured tights are in one space, patterned in another and black style ones in another. Well, that's the theory...it doesn't often work out that way.

Outfit wise, this is an old dress, and old shoes. I'm enjoying being able to wear heels again.

There is nothing wrong with a tights obsession. I dream of owning a collection as wonderful as yours someday.

pip a la chic said...

WOAH! You do have a shit load of tights. Good collection though. Dress looks lovely on you. x

Mat said...

40 pairs, that's good going! i reckon i'm the same with socks. sometimes i pick me socks before the rest of my outfit. which is a bit much i reckon but i like it.

Alex said...

Ooh you need to wear those House of Holland ones soon!

You really are looking great at the moment hun. Don't fret about the dress fitting differently - it fits properly now and it looks wonderful!

Jetleyface said...

I know that necklace, glad that you are getting some wear out of it :) xx

I'm so jealous of your organization. My tights are a jumbled mess. What an incredible necklace too! Is it heavy?
Thanks for your comment on my book post, I get kind of annoyed when people skip them and comment on the post below because of the time and effort that goes in to recommending a book, plus, jeez doesnt everyone want to be well read teehee ;) You really should read it, its a great book, and a really quick read too.

OOOh tights! I am such a tights girl!

Gem Fatale said...

You look amazing! Jealous of your tights stash. It is a daily struggle for me to find a pair that aren't holey!
Glad you liked my nail post. I love doing my nails because you can get away with wearing something completely boring if your nails look fab!
Your trip to Brighton sounds so exciting! Will have to email you some shop recommendations when the time gets nearer! xxx

Kallie, Happy Honey and Lark said...

If you are ever in NY, you WILL hang out with me!! I would freakin' LOVE that!!!!!!

dinoprincesschar said...

What a huge selection!! I managed to fill two drawers-ful of tights, and I really only seem to wear boring nude ones recently..Need to make more tights effort I think! xx

The Blonde Duck said...

I love that new dress! And that necklace is charming!

Shelley said...

i'm so envious of your tights collection!

Alice said...

I wish I had more tights, your collection is amazing, my favourite ones are patterned ones. I very much adore the necklace too x

❤Cate❤ said...

You look gorgeous, I love that dress *wants*

oh and as for organising tights here's my solution:

I picked those draw separators up in a pound shop a while ago but I suppose you can just as easily make your own separators :)

OneCraftyFox said...

Hey gorgeous!! OMGawd you have SO many tights, lol. I knew you were the Queen of legwear, but I didn't realize just how many you had.

I throw mine in a picnic basket in my closet. Then I can never find what I want, think I don't have it, and buy new ones. lol.

I am having an interactive "Style Me Pretty" blog giveaway... I would love it if you joined!

Sarah said...

Gayle is Volatile said...

Nice necklace! I organize my clothes by color too. And then by sleevelength. Shorts are in one pile, skirts in one pile, pants in another, short pants in another, leggings in another. Jackets and outerwear in another closet. Well... you get the idea. :D

P.S. Hope you like my post on new ring buys :)

You can never have enough tights, I think ;)

Hello Darling! How I have missed your blog :) I thought I had a slight tight obsession, but you have far surpassed me! I have one little cube devoted to tights, but it is not as organized as this! Will have to get on it.

Tights Lover said...

That is quite a collection. I think you might have more tights than I do! ...or at least you're a lot better organized than I am. Nothing wrong with being tights obsessed, though.

Loved the necklace too!
