X Marks The Spot

These tights are so old that I can't remember where I got them or what year...and I'm usually good at dating my clothes. I think the trick with these tights is that I've had them forever and yet I've barely worn them. I usually pull them out when I'm looking for a pair of sheer tights, notice the "x's" on the knees and put them back. I just don't feel most of my outfits are improved by oddly shaped x's, but this one might be an exception. The text covered skirt seemed to call for some more fun and graphic accessories. Also the shoes seem like an exceptionally good fit with my favorite black heels.
P.S. I was wearing a coat initially but because my friend Kate helped me take pictures I ended up talking in all the shots with my coat on and made some rather ridiculous facial expressions...
