Crayon Legs

when i see all the colored tights and knee-highs around the internet and in the stores, i think of the classic box of Crayola's. We all had them (i don't know about the UK or Canada or anywhere else, pardon moi) and since spring is fast approaching, i am excited to banish the drab fall colors and be bold.

i was one of the first last summer to appear in a pair of tights. i was acnowledged with stares and questions but i ignored them because i had studied the fall 06 runways like i would for a civics exam, and i knew they'd catch on. soon enough, come november, black poorly pulled-off cropped leggings were sprouting up like licorice weeds. i immediatly banished the cropeed style and opted for a full-length tight. now, i am on the quest for the perfect bold colors to incorporate into my spring/summer wardrobe. hmm... i wonder if by fall 07 the entire world will look like a 6-year-old spilled their 64 pack of Crayolas with the sharpener in the back?

now this plaid number is not for the conservative. as seen on cory kennedy, these make a bold statement, but try taking a hint from cory: pair them with a very simple solid shapeless minidress to balance out the pattern
