These plaid tights are great for layering with a wool skirt and some leg warmers.
Or for wearing under jeans to help keep the chill out like I did today, but I liked them best with the skirt so I could show them off. It was really cold Monday when I wore them with the skirt, snow on the ground and freezing rain. A perfect day to test them out! no, they didn’t completely block the cold on their own, but they did make it more bearable. And when I pulled my leg warmers up a bit higher it was perfect for short jaunts outside. I have sad news about the brown Chinese Laundry leg warmers I’m wearing above. We cannot get them anymore ~:( we can still get several of their other colors and I have another large order on its way, but many of their items are already gone. I look forward to seeing what they have to offer us next!
But I digress, back to my plaid tights..

I thought the new cherry garters were an excellent accent to them, and when I was wearing the leg warmers I used the shimmery new snowflake garters to help them stay at or above my knees (depending on how cold I was at the time). I chose the A-B which is the smaller of the two because I am in that weight range but am just outside the height and sure enough, the legs are a tad short, but still completely comfortable. The only thing I didn’t like about them are the oversized toes…

not too bad in shoes with minor adjustments, but I think I’ll try resewing them one of these long winter evenings.
