Tight Knit Situation

Updated 2 months, 2 weeks ago

Source: http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/

Despite the unnecessary need for hosiery in L.A., I seem to accumulate a massive collection of tights each autumn. I have dozens of black varieties, a few punchy colors, some striped, several sheer and others made of intricate lace. There’s simply no justification for my overabundant collection, yet I find myself compulsively feeding [...]

I wish I had a larger tights collection. Here in Portland they are much more practical.

My weakness is scarves. I have every texture, color and length that you could imagine. And a confession: I haven’t worn one yet this season - but I’ve bought three!

I’m all about scarves. Can’t get enough of them!

My absolute favorite accessories are tights. At last count I have close to twenty, I believe. Thank goodness I live in New England where I can wear them from September - April! My favorites are black, pale pink, cream, navy ribbed, purple lace, sheer polka dots… and the list goes on.

Ring! i can’t get enough of a big cocktail ring. It seems as if i am always on the hunt for the perfect one.

I was wondering, what is your favorite inexpensive brand of tights?

This season I’ve been buying tons of tights, especially brightly colored ones, and also cocktail rings!

tights are my obsession too! i was this close to buying those monogrammed Louis Vuitton tights from SS09, but I would be devastated if they ripped after paying $400 for them (my tights always do. so sad) those UO ones are so cute. I wished I’d seen them before getting the wolford polka tights.

Most probably shoes.. I buy tights for winter, but they’re always inexpensive ones from H&M or the likes. We barely have a winter here, so I don’t splurge on things that snag or tear easily..

I am obsessed with tights. It’s funny I was checking out the Urban Outfitters dot tights just the other day. Betsey Johnson always has fun and crazy ones. I recently picked up a plaid pair, which I can’t wait to wear with a black or navy dress. You have no idea how much I love those Zac Posen tights!

Tube scarves and cocktail rings. Oh, and sometimes sunglasses. I simply cannot stop purchasing all of the above!

dayna stephanie 3 months ago on Wordpress

i feel like stockings are completely disposable for me. they always rip after i wear them once! (probably because i go for the $2 forever 21 kinds, hehe). my accessory weakness is rings, for sure. every time i walk into a store & i can’t leave without at least one or two of them on my finger (and this happens at least one to three times a week, especially since i work at BCBG Max Azria & ...

Emily 3 months ago on Wordpress

Maria 3 months ago on Wordpress

haha that’s funny, my weakness used to be scarves, but no I am obsessed with rings & bracelets. I can’t have enough! Especially from the flea market on melrose/fairfax. ah-mazing

Earrings: they can spice up your outfits, yet are cheap enough to buy frequently.

georgina 3 months ago on Wordpress

i also seem to acquire a lot of tights every year.

my weakness is jewellery, chunky cocktail rings, statement necklaces, turquoise and stacking bangles and bracelets.

The Shedd Aquarium ad keeps interrupting my reading of your blog! Dernit. It pops up right in the middle of my screen. Yesterday I couldn’t get a good look of your awesome sequin jacket. Today, I can’t read about tights! I love tights! What to do? Help.

I love tights. I live in Houston and it never really gets too cold here- but cold enough to wear tights. I definitely buy a lot of pearl necklaces, that’s a weakness of mine!

andhari 3 months ago on Wordpress

I love tights!:)

Erin 3 months ago on Wordpress

I’d have to say underwear [if that can count as an accessory]. I have to control myself every time I go out because I want more, more, more. I have over 80 pairs right now, I think.

elena 3 months ago on Wordpress

I just recently started getting into different patterned and colored tights myself. I can’t wait to see how you style the ones you received from Guilt Groupe (love that website!).

Girlfran, I am right there with ya with the tights. Earrings are a veryclose second.

Helena 3 months ago on Wordpress

uh, bangles. hands down, bangles.

My bangle problem keeps getting worse because my friends have noticed that I love them, and so i keep getting more as gifts. I consequently have them shoved allover my bedroom.

I am trying to become more of a shoe girl. I need to expand my collection. However, I still tend to buy a great handbag over a pair of shoes. I can’t get enough of them.

Kaylyn 3 months ago on Wordpress

My weakness is definitely shoes, but for some reason I dont consider them an accessory. They are too important for me. So my real weakness is HUGE jewelry. The bigger the better. Well….sometimes.

Erin 3 months ago on Wordpress

hands down pashmina and silk scarves. I just added a vintage lanvin to my collection… I don’t think I took it off for a week after i got it!

Melissa 3 months ago on Wordpress

Rings for me right now. I’m really into vintage ones for some reason!

Wanderlusting 3 months ago on Wordpress

It used to be bags but I got past that a few years ago. Now I would have to say earrings - I always feel like I dont have enough! And yet I know that’s very much not true!

Kim 3 months ago on Wordpress

I’m just ending a weird ink pen obession, which was preceded by an expensive fascination with large earrings. Now it’s winter dresses — even more expensive. Ack!

Lexy 3 months ago on Wordpress

necklaces! I can’t stop
