Well I suppose you remember these two? We got together for an impromptu gathering.
I was actually going to serve tea, but I didn’t have anything for it except Tim Tams and some bland looking crackers. We went through the nearly empty pantry and I ended up making pasta with some sauce thrown together from tomato paste and a large can of whole tomatoes. I suspect canned tomatoes are actually vastly underrated.
I’m wearing my new tights! I saw them on Charming Pumpkin and immediately adored them– you know all about my issues with sheer tights, so I never wear Swiss dot. These appear to be holding up beautifully and are not choking me to death like my last pair of Merona tights.
I’m wearing my Anthropologie wrap (swapped with you!), Anthropologie skirt, Merona/Target tights, Stuart Weitzman pumps, vintage brooch, and ken + dana ring.

I love the tights so much, they’re really fantastic!
The wrap is also gorgeous – I love your style.

Those tights are heaven. And oh so necessary for the chill that has come upon us recently. It’s so hard to motivate to be cute in this frigid weather, especially for someone who love skirts and dresses. Like 3/4 of my wardrobe.

I adore those tights! they are just really cute! and I agree– canned tomatoes are very underrated. They’re really quite good! Get the San Marzano type– best for making sauce!
Alex Elizabeth says
I’ll keep those in mind! I think they’re the ones my Italian cousins use.
Fashion By Alicia says

I love this new way to tie this wrap and I’ve decided that I definitely need more pins. And yeah, I love these tights. Way better than sheers!
Caitlin says
I just got swiss-dot tights! I haven’t worn them yet because I feel like they’re too fancy, but I like the way you styled them!
Alex Elizabeth says
I love the look of Swiss dot, but the sheers just seem to be too fragile for me and every pair I ever had ripped almost immediately. I think the opaque grey lends a bit a casualness to these.
Jeanine Byers Hoag says
What a beautiful outfit!! Love it! Glad you had a fun get-together.
Alex Elizabeth says
Hi Jeanine! I’ve added you to Letters to Friends and thanks for visiting my blog!
Lyddiegal says
I love swiss dot tights too, and I’ve been through three pairs, all of which ripped the first time I’ve worn them. I give up. These are a nice alternative.
I love that you’ve added a broach to the wrap, so cute!!
Nnenna says
Ha! I’m also glad these tights are not choking you to death- that sounds really awful! I like the way you’ve fastened off your sweater with a brooch here- so pretty :)
Tia says
OH wow: that wrap is absolutely gorgeous. Yay for getting friends together for pictures too!
Julie Lan says
