Tights!

I love tights.

I recently found out that jeans are not allowed on Friday dress down day (what?!), and I was pretty bummed until I realized it's tights weather!

My favorite go-to black tights are ASSETS, Target's Spanx brand. I bought a pair on sale three years ago, and I'm still wearing them. They look brand new except for a little hole in the crotch where the seam has started to let go.
They're opaque enough to wear with a shorter skirt and not feel terribly inappropriate but not so thick that you feel like you're going to die if the heat kicks on. They stay up beautifully and even if you're not looking for a shaper (I wasn't when I bought my first pair), I'd highly recommend them. The fact that they make your rear look like you've been doing a million squats a day is just a happy bonus.

I'm also a huge fan of colorful, patterned, or textured tights and I'm so excited that they seem to be becoming more and more popular every year.
I've found a lot at local department stores. JCPenny usually has some fun options and Target always has fun solid color options.

Online I've found that ASOS has some fun, hilarious, or sophisticated options. Not to mention super hot. Hello? And come on, if my legs weren't short and chunky, how smokin' would these be? I should mention I've never owned a pair of these so I know nothing about the quality, but oh boy do I lust after them.

Hue also has some swoon-worthy options and Foot Traffic has tons of unique options.

I also like to wear fun colored leggings (most of mine are from Victoria's Secret) under a dress for a warmer option and I personally find it as comfortable as sweatpants so I can still be comfy on dress down day even without my jeans.

What are your favorite fall and winter fashions?
