Why Don’t You… Wear Novelty Tights?

‘Why Don’t You’ is my weekly tribute to legendary editor Diana Vreeland who penned a column of the same name for Harper’s Bazaar for 26 years begging, “Don’t just be your ordinary dull self. Why don’t you be ingenious and make yourself into something else?”

It’s the worst time of the year for me.

“I know you’re crusading against coats and sensible clothing, but, it’s time,” ______ said over the weekend.

It was easy to get away without wearing tights and actual coats in the city with weather that would be in the high 50s one day, low 40s another, before landing back in the 50s.

Something changed on Sunday, making me really sad. The wind chill was so serious, it cut though my usually more-than-warm-enough over the knee socks.

And you guys know how I feel about pants. So, it’s time to put on tights (and act like I have some sense).

So, if I must, I might as well have some fun, right? Below are a few that I will be adding to my winter wardrobe.

I want to be her.

This outfit makes me feel like I am her–nails and lips, especially.
