Pop of Pink

Today I had a lunch date with my husband and afterwards he was nice enough to take some outfit pictures for me in the public gardens. I'll have to come back here again, because it's a gorgeous backdrop!


[[ Dress - Faith21 // Tights - Simply Be // Boots - Forever21 ]]


I was lucky enough to get to shop in a giant Forever 21 with a big Faith 21 section while I was in Vegas. I was really impressed with the clothes there actually, all of the dresses I tried on were a perfect fit and I ended up buying a fair bit (but still wish I'd bought more, hah). I've worn this stripey dress quite a lot since I brought it home because it's so comfy and it's got great pockets. The boots are Forever 21 too, I've worn them nearly every day since getting home.




Seeing Scott Pilgrim vs the World in the cinema this summer convinced me that I need to wear my coloured tights more often (Ramona Flowers rocks some gorgeous purple ones). The weather is just getting cold enough for that now so I thought I'd use these pink tights to add a big pop of colour to this otherwise black and grey ensemble.

Are you guys fans of coloured tights?

  6. Love those pink tights! What a great pop of colour. I am a huge fan of coloured tights but I am very low on funds, stopping me from buying one of every colour, and i can't make up my mind of which one colour I might be able to afford! So I like looking at them on other people, I guess.
    That's a beautiful garden!

  7. That pop of color works ! Since recently discovering "We Love Color" I do try to rock more color tights. They have a wide range of colors on their site.

  8. Love your outfit! Unfortunately bright tights in plus sizes are hard to find here in Germany.

  9. Loving the outfit! I too have a variety of coloured tights - except maybe I don't have pink now after the elastic went on my last pair and I had to bin them. Hmmm I need to rectify that! We are colors here I come!

  10. @Danielle - I wear about a 22UK in dresses so like an 18/20US and the 3X seems to be perfect on me.

    @Erin - I know what you mean, it takes me forever to pick a colour!

    @NEM1976 - I love "we love color" for their variety but actually I find the quality to be a bit better with simply be's tights.

    @katharina - try ordering online? I get my tights from evans.co.uk, simplybe.co.uk and welovecolors.com

    Thanks for the lovely comments everyone!
