Best Tights Ever!

If you can beleive it, I picked these fabulous new tights up at Goodwill. And they were indeed new. They still had the carboard in the center, but sadly no outside packaging. Total bummer b/c I would absolutely by whatever brand this is. The tights are nice and thick, so I wasn't terrified that I was going to shove a thumb throught the delicate pattern when I put them on. And they are by far the best pattern of tights that I've seen for plus size. And I really wanted to let them take center stage, so I kept the rest of the outfit pretty simple.

What I Wore For the Love of Tights:

• black dress (Gap)
• magenta tights (via Goodwill)
• magenta tweed jacket (Lane Bryant)
• black leather belt (Target)
• seed pearl necklace and bracelet (made by friend's mom)
• earrings (Target)
• black suede wedges (BCBGirls)
• leather envelope purse (via Goodwill)

What I Ate That Was Not Worth It:

We were supposed to go grocery shopping on the way home from work, but I left the list at home and we were starving, so we popped into the loval italien restaurant near our new house. It was cute and very romantic inside, but that's where the priase stops. The service sucked, they were blaring tejano music (which is so weird with italien food), and the food was thoroughly mediocre. I'm sad, b/c we really like to patronize local restaurants, esp those in our neighborhood.

• breakfast: barley & oats w/ cream and apple
• lunch: chicken sandwich, carrots, tomatoe, 1/2 avocado, orange
• snack: grapes, yogurt, SoyJoy
• dinner: watery chicken parmesan, uncoooked & stale penne, slimy veggies (the photo is not my actual dinner. I forgot to take a pic)
