somehow, despite the 30-something temperatures outside, i've been entirely and very prematurely engulfed in winter culture over the last few weeks. all i've been thinking about is what stockings and scarves i'll be wearing with what shoes and dresses.. so here's to hoping that myer will still stock its usual abundance of stockings & tights when i go there in a week, regardless of which season we may or may not be in.
and so, in blatantly ignoring the next 6 months, this is what is on my winter woolies wishlist:
1. some tartaned goodness.
2. a pair of back-seamed stockings.
you know, the ones from way back when, the 50s i think. unfortunately they're a little bit stripper-esque and my last pair were uber-thin and so they contracted a pretty massive ladder somewhere in my travels..or possibly just in the wash.
the cool old lady next door said she used to draw the seam on the back with chalk, and i'd like to try that one day, but i think for now i'll just get a pair that are pre-seamed. so much less hassle!
3. my third-most wanted piece of awesome might have to be a DIY creation of my own, as i'm not entirely sure if tie-dyed stockings are sold anywhere near here, as of yet. haha. but dont they just sound perfect for a crazy sunday or a picnic or something. :)
4. any bright coloured stockings, preferably a pink or purple. gossip girl mostly inspired this.
5. and last but not least, just a pair of transparent white stockings, ala serena van der woodsen.
was hard to come across a picture of these. i know serena has worn them in loads of gg episodes, but the only image i could come across was of jenny humphrey.
hm, im thinking id like to steer away from opaque though.
also, i think i'd secretly like to get me into some legwarmers, too.

i agree entirely, i've got a purple, white and blue pair, but i can't say i'll ever have the guts to wear them or the need seeing as though we live in mackay which has a pretty non existant winter.
ReplyDeletebuuut how much do i love these, especially the last pair!
