Rand, Maria, and I did a $5 gift swap for Christmas. Maria came over for dinner (and convinced Rand that quinoa is good!!) and we exchanged our gifts. Rand got me a dictionary (my favorite book) and even added a little romantic entry for me. AWWWWWW. He's so sweet!!

Simple and pretty! I like the pattern mixing with the tights and the skirt.

Awesome skirt and tights!

Brooke - thanks! I'm not sure the pattern mixing turned out quite like I had hoped, but it's always good to try.

Kari - thanks. I tried on about 3 pairs of tights before I settled on these. I wish I had some paisley ones to mimic the skirt, but I don't.

Jess - thanks!
