A Boundless Moment

40 Comments Edit

I'm not gonna lie, sometimes I wear the same tights repeatedly because navigating my sock drawer can be a bit daunting. However, I'm glad I stumbled across this pair again recently because it's one of my favorites. I actually ripped my first pair of these, but thankfully found a replacement pair...

    I love this, so simple-but with a definite uniqueness from the tights. Love this color combo too-so chic with your lovely hair!

    Completely lovely on all counts.
    I need to invest more into nice tights, I always think they really add an X factor to outfits in blog posts, but never seem to end up buying myself some.
    Thanks for Tumblrifying me the other day, my Twitter promptly exploded with tweets when Hayley from Paramore reblogged it! It was surreal! :)

    Mine ended up ripping as well (but I think you already knew that). I need to order a replacement pair next time they show up on Gilt. Last week I ordered a navy pair of the studded version and just couldn't justify spending the extra money. I love tights but hate how adventuring outdoors can sometimes be the death of them.

    Oh man, I've been coveting those tights ever since you wore them on your blog! Where did you find the replacement? I looked on gilt and couldn't find any.

    @Anonymous/Natalie, yeah Gilt sales rotate, so things disappear for awhile. However, I bought my 1st pair and this my 2nd pair through Gilt. I just waited for them to reappear. TJMaxx/Marshalls also sometimes has Cynthia Rowley tights & other major departement stores too (Nordstrom, etc).

    Agree! Tjmaxx has some good tights, but it really depends on the store since the inventory is different in various locations. I got cute, lacy Betsey Johnson tights from TJmaxx that I wear religiously.

    I really, really do love floral lace tights. There's just something so alluring about them, without revealing anything at all!

    It's the best. Subtlety + sensuality without even trying!

    I hate ripping my tights:( some of my favourites have huge holes from this season and i'm still trying to wear them because I can't find good enough replacement deals.

    Your shoes are to die for - classic black platform heels should be a staple in a girl's wardrobe! Your hair colour is also amazing - can I ask you, do you colour it yourself or leave it in the hands of the professionals? I imagine since your hair is quite thick it would be difficult to do yourself. Do you use any special hair conditioner?? Looking fab,

    Ah love those tights. I always stock up on tights that I fall in love with. When a store I used to work with starting selling stripey opaque/sheer tights I stocked up with my store discount haha. I still have a couple of unopened pairs- I may have over done it!

    Patterned tights are such a great way to add interest to an outfit! This outfit is simpler and (I think) more wearable than usual and I definitely appreciate that.

    Do you ever wear hair extensions?? because it is so long and thick and I'm massively jealous!

    @Alex, nope, it's always my own hair. I just got lukcy (I guess) with thick, straightish hair...I always wanted my hair to be different, but other people seem to like it. Extensions/fake hair kinda freaks me out to be honest...

    Yea you are ridiculously lucky!! I agree with the extensions freaking you out thing...I really want my hair to grow quicker and everyone is like "just have extensions" but I'm more of a it-has-to-be-natural-or-it-doesnt-count kinda girl haha

    The back of the tights are so lovely -- and I share your sock drawer hesitance. Mine is so stuffed and overcrowded that I sometimes just leave out three pairs and wear them until one of them rips...

    Amazing tights! I love how the outfit comes together so well from such simple components.

    I love the matching hues of the lip color and jacket, and how they contrast with the black dress, tights, and shoes.

    Gorgeous photos and lovely outfit. Those tights are definitely a statement maker.
