The circus has come to town!
Aren’t these tights excellent? I wasn’t quite sure I could pull them off, but they’re such enormously good fun they’re definitely worth a whirl. We Love Colors has them in any number of different colour combinations, but I like the traditional black and white stripes. Very Burton-esque, and bordering on vaudeville.
They’re of the perplexing “one-size-fits-all” variety, and I had to do my trick of wearing a second pair of panties over the top to keep them up, but the hips and waist definitely have room to stretch.
I’ve teamed them with a pair of shoes that I bought from Nordstrom when I was over in the US. I was so impressed with the customer service – when they were too tight across the bridge of my foot, the sales staff offered to put them on the stretching machine for an hour or so while I went and had a coffee. Unheard of in Australia.
The box gave me the giggles when I looked at it later though:
Those tights are too cute! I ordered a pair of leggings from We Love Colors and ordered the largest plus size because they were longer. The leggings were marked as being able to fit someone up to 250 lbs (I’m 180), and they were so tight and gave me rolls that I didn’t need (I’ve got that covered already, no worries) that I haven’t gotten anything from them since. However, I’ve seen you and a lot of other stylish ladies liking them, so maybe I’ll give them another try…
Hi Katie, I agree with you. I went on a buying spree and have about 8 pairs of we love colours tights which don’t fit or barely fit even though I bought a size bigger and checked the measuements!

Your tights are fantastic!
That is the most in-depth, cautionary shoebox I’ve ever seen. Warnings for wearing shoes?!
I am soooooo looking forward to going shopping in the states – we’re going to New York for our honeymoon (passport arrived yesterday!) and oh the clothes! Boots and jeans are on my agenda.
Love the look xox
A very Burton-esq outfit indeed! I hope it’s ok but I’m blaming you when the husband finds out I’ve just spent £30 on tights from We Love Colors … The post reminded me to order some more from there! I already got a couple of pairs & I agree about the striped ones but I’ve just ordered 2 more pairs despite fact they fall down because I love the strips so much!
Ps please drop by my blog & dress me in my new challenge 🙂
love the tights! i want some!!
Fantastic! I love any black and white stripe with hot pink. It’s the perfect combination for fun.

PS – Went to Best and Less today. They had shapewear underwear short bike pants in soft but firm material – $7! Sizes 8-26. They had pairs that sit on the waist or under the boob – but they were light enough to not full corseted in summer.
Love this fun outfit! And those tights! Super cute! And for the record, you can so pull the off, lady!
