Does the colour of your tights matter?

Today's topic = Tights!

Today sparked an interesting debate between me and a friend, do the colour of your tights matter?

Now when I say matter I don't mean that the colour of your tights is going to mean world peace or anything but I was under the impression that tight colour could make or break an outfit!

If I am wearing a black skirt/dress, I wear black tights, if I'm wearing a Navy skirt or dress I'll match my tights accordingly, you see where I am going with this. But apparently this isn't as common as I thought.

"Black with everything, black all the way" is what I have been confronted with today!

I'm confused - all the rules I have adhered to in the past are now questionable! Does this rule just apply to tights? what about coats, bags shoes!

Are all of my tights obsolete?

Help!?!

I think I want to bury my head in the sand at the "black all the way' remark, I like looking well coordinated, it's in my blood. I don't think I can change.

Outfit post: 80's chick

I brought a new t-shirt in the January sales and I hadn't had the right opportunity to wear it yet.

So when a friends birthday party cropped up and we were hitting the town I knew it was the moment to release the top from the clutches of my wardrobe.

I don't have a full length shot of my outfit, actually that is a lie, I do, but It's too far into the night and I'm throwing shapes left, right and centre to be able to show you (if you get me).

Just before you panic - I didn't actually wear my hair like this, it was a bit of fun for the photo!

Disco top - Peacocks £6

the rest of the outfit you can't see:

Purple skirt - New Look £8, Black platform shoes - New Look £20, Bangle - Primark £1.50

If I'm ever invited to a fancy dress I reckon I could rock this look, the side pony looks pretty cool ha ha.

Outfit post: I feel 12 again..

If you had said to me that I'd soon be buying and wearing a denim shirt, I think I'd have literally laughed my head off. So why then I have done just that, I brought one and what's more I'm wearing it.

The shop assistant must of thought me and my shopping buddy were a right pair of looneys as we stood trying on shirts in fits of giggles because we both felt about 12 (when denim shirts were last in).

What do you think?

Denim shirt New Look £20, Vest £6 Topshop, Skirt H&M £2.99 (bargain),

Necklace Topshop £9, Hair-band Primark £1.00

Next someone is going to tell me I'll be wearing double denim...eek

You may have noticed the no shopping rule I was trying to implement isn't going as well as I hoped! In fact it isn't going well full stop...I think I'm an addict!
