Orange tights

You lucky blighter! Sandal envy ?

Sometimes we got colourful plastic sandals for the summer hols though, partly so we could paddle in the sea in them, I think.

No tights in those days though, just white ankle socks.

marionk, my sister-in-law, always very neatly turned out, has some yellow shoes.

Sob!! My mum wouldn't even buy white ankle socks! Too difficult to keep white was the idea. Just occasionally my aunty would buy my sister and me some white socks. Real treasure they were!

Which reminds me, did anyone else just lurve those sticky labels they used to pair up socks with in shops? I used to stick mine on my bed.

We used to get a pair of new white plimsolls at Whitsun and, when they'd gone grubby and scuffed, my mother used to "paint" them with a bottle of whitener that dried into a thick, inflexible coating. They looked OK but it was like wearing a couple of cardboard boxes on your feet!

....go for it Baggs!! sounds awesome!!! ??

Don't be ridiculous!

How very rude.

No to the orange, wear nude tights or bare legs. If you wear the orange tights what coloured shoes would you wear?

Faye, OP said navy or green.
LuckyFour: unnecessary

Go for it Baggs I love coloured tights but I have short fat legs so not such a good look on me:#bagoforanges.
If you are tall with long legs..not a problem!

Orange tights are never a good idea, but very brave of you OP to want to wear them.

Penstemmon

I can't believe that, my penstemmons are waving tall and gracefully in the wind.

If it scared her it would be brave, but I can't see Baggs being scared of wearing what she wants to.

Fair enough but orange tights are not and never will be a good look.

Same way Vivienne Westwood always look a bit mad.

Blimey! Is this still going?

Who's Vivienne Westwood?

Very well known designer. Baggs Started in the 60s I think.

Thanks, BB. I googled her too. I had genuinely never heard of her. That's how much attention I pay to fashion designers.

This hasn't gone un noticed Baggs.

My opinion is orange tights are pretty ghastly on anyone, should never have been invented in the first place. If you must do orange tights then have a "tinge" of it.
