I love the color of these tights though and can't really go about in a crazy blue hat and a bathing suit, so I toned it down with this mixed animal print dress I hemmed last weekend. It is DEFINITELY from the 80s and had HUGE shoulder pads (which I cannot rock no matter how cool they get again) and a below the knee length. I think It is WAY more wearable at this length and with this woven belt.
I very Bewilderedly was featured by Jessica on What I Wore yesterday and am flabbergasted that she even notices me! I have to use big words to describe my amazement. I checked them in my dictionary and I do believe I am using them correctly to describe my feelings. So, wow, thanks Jessica!
COMMENT OF THE DAY:
Call A Spade, A Spade! said...I absolutely LOVE the tights and they go SO well with both outfits. I think the bathing suit is great. Who cares if its a bathing suit. Put a little skirt with it and wear it like a leotard.
If you get something setup where you decide to have a fun place to wear the fun outfits, let us know. I am sure there would be lots of us that would come out to see your outfits and to wear our own funky outfits
Keep up the great work!

You've worked wonders with that dress - I can't imagine it being an 80s big shouldered monstrosity at all!
You look beyond stunning in the swimsuit, too. I'd love a place to wear my play outfits!
Oh my goodness.. the bathing suit.. IS AMAZING. I've been looking high & low for one similar, and might have to settle on a new one :(
And congrats on What I Wore!!!!! You completely deserve it.. such an inspiration to me, your blog is definitely one of my favorites Christina :) And you are so completely genuine & down-to-earth & insightful, which makes reading your blog even more inspiring.
The perfect vintage suit! congrats on WiW - that is so huge. I'm not surprised you've been inspiring Jessica :-)
I love that you looked up flabbergasted! It's such a good word and I always imagine a duck looking at himself in a mirror while duckily swimming along. Congratulations on the feature! The vintage swimsuit is so cute, maybe you can wear it as a fun romper with a cardigan (and your amazing teal tights of course.)

The last dress is stunning with the tights!
I love the print and the belt of the dress. The color of the tights are so unique!
Love that animal print dress. And two posts in a row featuring amazingly awesome hats? I'm in hat heaven! haha

I totally adore the vintage swimsuit; how you paired it up with the bright tights and the hat is classic!
I love that hat and wow they do match those tights perfectly!

I love this look; the colors are exquisite! The swimsuit looks great on you, I can't even tell it's too big!
Love your turban hat-thing and that animal print dress. Really cool pieces.
hello dear!
love the animal print dress.
btw...do you hand sew or use a machine? i just started sewing lessons and she's teaching me both ways, but obviously hand sewing the hem of a dress looks cleaner. do you agree??
The vintage swim suit is really quite cute and the tights are fantastic!
woah blue! so fun!
woah blue! so fun!
yay! :):) good stuff, it was a nice post from WIW.

I love these tights! I have a similar dress from UO and would like to recreate this look. Are those tights the color that is actually listed as Teal on the welovecolors site? They look more like the new Neon Blue. Do you remember just which color your's are for reference?
