It’s my blogaversary!!! (for real this time)
Exactly one year ago today, I created StockingsAddict.
What started as a way for me to talk about stockings to my heart’s content (mostly so I wouldn’t drive my friends crazy) has since morphed into a incredible journey where I’ve not only learned more about hosiery and lingerie than I ever thought possible, but also made some new friends to boot!
Most of all, I’d like to thank you, the readers. Without your support, in all its varying forms, I probably would have given this blog up months ago. You have no idea how much it means to me that you all take the time to read what I have to say. It’s one of the highest compliments anyone could give.
Okay, I’ll stop gushing now. But seriously, y’all are awesome. :-)
the look for less, pt. 6–Bebaroque
Much like my love for leopard print, I’ve made no secret of the fact that I also enjoy a good tattoo print. Be it the overtly retro stylings of Sailor Jerry or the more ethereal, artistic approach taken by Bebaroque, I really, really dig tattoos.
But you know and I know that good lingerie doesn’t come cheap, and as much I’d like to buy every single pair of Bebaroque tights in every single color, my itty bitty income simply won’t allow it.
Fortunately, Jonathon Aston read my mind and came out with a budget version of the tattooed look. Part of this season’s limited edition fashion range, the Jonathon Aston tights have a nude background with blue and black butterflies flittering from thigh to ankle. Available from Asos or StockingsHQ for £9.75 or £8.50 ($13.94 or $12.16 USD), respectively, I believe these pantyhose are a great buy.
Edit: The tights just sold out on Asos.com, so now StockingsHQ is the only place to buy them!
The look for way, way less–Rodarte leggings
It seems I can’t open a fashion magazine without running into Rodarte’s uber-chic diamond cutout leggings. However, at $920.00/pair I will (for obvious reasons) never, ever know how they feel on my legs.
While the look isn’t exactly for me, I understand someone may want to try it. Stockingirl posted a link to a do-it-yourself version of the tights. Blogger Six Six Six (pictured right) also has a guide on how to make your very own set of diamond cut leggings, but she warns that the entire process is a “massive pain in the ass.”
Now I’ve never been good with craft projects. So if you’re like me, and want a similar look but without the massive investment of time or money, you may want to try Asos’ large oval net tights. They’re not diamond cut outs, but you do get the trend of large holes and a chunky pattern. Plus, at only £5.00/pair you won’t have to feel bad about cutting the feet off to make your own leggings. Or throwing them away once the season’s over, for that matter.
