What a better way than disguising one asset you're not particularly fond of than covering it with deliciousness. I have to admit that if I could change something about myself, it would be my legs. No matter what I do, my knees still look crocked and my legs stubby. After many years of praying to wake up with model long skinny legs, I've finally accepted that this is my faith. The positive thing: I have now discovered the brillance of tights...in all colors and patterns. The ones I'm wearing today are simply adorable with the tiny polka-dots over sheer black.

I can not wait until tomorrow because I'm going into the city and doing some shopping. Well, not for myself but a friend and I are going window stopping at Holt. He's planning on buying a new perfume and I'm going for moral support...lol. The weather is supposed to be beautiful so we'll walk around a bit. Maybe if the sun is out we'll grab some beers on a terrace.

OMG, you kidding me?
I see no problem with his legs.
I also have thick legs and love!
It is a ''priceless'' feature right?

Anyway, I think you always look beautiful!
I loved this outfit! Again!
Xoxo.

I love that first picture of you!!!!! They're all amazing as your outfit is great and you're so photogenic. That blazer and purse is perfection- j'adore!!

You know I always check your blog before I head to bed cause by now I've come to learn that you post at night!! :)

That picture of the sunset is great! how amazing are the sunsets now?! It's like i've been looking at California bloggers' sunset landscapes with southern envy but now I'm getting to see it again in our city with the spring and daylight savings combo!

Have so much fun at Holts tomorrow!!!!

Oh are we talking about a human being here? hehe. well that's me. You smile beautifully. And you dress way prettier than any models wanna be out there. hihi.

I have a belly problem!... I constantly dream of having a flat stomach but it just won't happen. I have done all kinds of weird exercises and it won't go away. I have lost weight now and my stomach still looks like a trash bag! Your legs on the other hand are fantastic. They may not be skinny but they're really well porportioned, something I'm not, anywhere. Ah well.

Your style is wonderful, I find myself drooling at the outfits you pull together. Great!

I love those tights !!!

Victoria C said...

Those tights are gorgeous and so is your whole outfit. I love the layering.
Believe me I have the same feeling about parts of my body too, so unfair we can't all look like Gisele haha
Have fun at Holts! I can never walk in there without purchasing something, hopefully you can have more self control.

Too Many Tights said...

Your legs are fine... skinny model legs are overrated.

these tights look so cute, the tiny little dots are so delicate and feminine.
we all have something (or more than one thing) we don't like about ourselves, but it's a good thing to embrace what we have and make it work as Tim Gunn would say. No really, it's key to feel good about oneself, because that's how you present yourself to others. You can never control what people think of you, but you can control what you think of yourself :)

ps. your legs are awesome.

Maverick said...

I love those!! You look fab :D

That is really funny. I am wearing the same tights in my yesterday post as you did. Just check on: http://letasche.blogspot.com/

I hear you about the legs...I wish I could change mine with all my heart but they will never be long, or thin...or normal.

Just appreciate YOUR legs for what they are, sexy, shapely and healthy. I would KILL to have YOUR legs.

Because of my disability, I will never have calf muscles, never have feet I can show without fear and never have slim thighs or even a solid gait.

It can always be worse...you could have MY body, lol. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

I'm glad you are embracing it though - I'm slowly learning that after 27 years I am stuck with my problems whether I like them or not.

I also love tights too for the same kinds of reasons, mainly cuz they hide or distract from my scarred ankles. Those polka-dot ones are to die for!!

PS if you it makes you feel better, my boyfriend can't stand skinny model legs. If he sees girls with too-scrawny legs on the street he will usually look disgusted and say something. Just because the media will tell you men only like model legs, does not mean it's true!

Lainey said...

You look amazing as always!!!Especially your blazer and your necklace!!!

Hayley said...

What exactly is supposed to be wrong with your legs - I see no problem whatsoever.
Cute tights by the way and I love that skirt you're wearing underneath. Very nice outfit indeed.
