ive just bought some footless tights, god knows why, i dont know what to do with them?!!

[nailpolish]

what shoes do i wear?

maybe i should take them back...

NO, no, no. The only look good if you are under 12. Return them darling please.....

Or morph yourself into Sienna Miller

ballet pumps and a shortish, loose dress with a low waist. But only if your legs are long and skinny.

Take 'em back unless you're enrolling for a ballet or dance class.

They are a REAL no go on anyone over 19.

use them to tie your phone to your head

Or a sweater dress. The skinny thing goes double for that.

right

ill take them back

we always used to wear them under yukky ripped jeans so our bums wouldn't show through (er in 1984)

LOL CD - it still makes me laugh when I remember that 'tips' thread.

are patterned tights alright with you ladies

I don't wear them myself, NP, b/c I am short and feel they are not a propos for my frame and age.

BUT they look fab on some!

Used to know an old lady who called gthem "F*ck-less" tights (she also said bokkle, kekkle, cackalogue).
I thought she knew something I didn't - you wear them, you don't get any!

I'd look like Sharon from Kath & Kim if I wore them

I bought some the other day knowing full well that mumsnet don't approve I don't care as I am not in the habit of dressing myself in teenagers clothes so I trust myself to wear these appropriately.
I shall wear them with a full black jersey skirt so I can wear my peep toe pumps with them.
Nailpolish, wear them if you want to.

i have a flippy kind of dress, its plain black, thought i would wear patterened tights for a change, quite like the diamond apttern ones

forget it

Aparently knitted dresses are in this season. If you really want to keep them you could try that look

carmenere, i havent even tried them on yet, bit worried cos if i try them on i cant take them back!

i saw a knitted dress in warehouse, but they mostly seem to have these cowl necks, which ihate

Try them on and if they dont fit you can wear them on freezing days with socks, were they really expensive? Mine were £3 in TKMaxx

nah, they were only £4.99

i would wear them, i suppose, on snowy days under trousers if nothing else, youre right

Nailpolish - You should absolutely, definitely wear those footless tights, at least once. Then you will know if you feel good in them or not. Fortunately, I have advice on just such a question as yours straight from September's Marie Clare. They are, apparently, "a great way of updating a transitional outfit. Are practical as the September chill descends ... wear them with high hemlines ... MaxMara teams them with a fabulous gold sequenned minidress, slouchy blazer and pointy patent heels (mmmm, please post a photo if you do this),. Or they can be worn with a knee-length skirt or dress, but ensure that you keep the look simple and unfussy." There is no reference to age restrictions. Wear and be proud.....

i would have thought they would look nicer with long flowing skirts

I want some, but don't have an appropriate skirt, and can't afford one right now

And also don't care about MN approval - you lot hate most of my clothes anyway

how old are you naily?
