Right i may be pushing my luck here as i know i have asked MN for A Lot of 'please google fashion' help of late but ... footless tights... possibly even cropped footless tights?

[AitchTwoCiao]

i need to hit town tomorrow and i need to hit it quick and hard, no dawdling.

PS no discussion as to the advisability. i'm buying 'em.

Just read the PS

Topshop?

Also M&S? Personally am shortarse and have a pair from M&S kids' dept.

lol.

claires accessories my sis gets them from there all the time

i hear that topshop only has ginormous one in at the moment (my friend was in there yesterday). and weirdly M&S search function brought up no footlesses... it did, however, bring up a storage jar and a pair of men's flat-front trousers amongst all the waggly stocking legs.

lol at the last one. oh yes, i'd steer clear of the short t-shirt and leggings look if i were a guy too...

i'm afraid i have left it too late to order before i go off on hols, so it's to the UK high st i must go...

thanks windy. and i take it back about m&s, i've found them now. oh goody, an afternoon racing around the centre of town looking for Every Bloody Thing to take on holiday.

Come to OZ. It's the home of footless tights. You can even get them ruched up the side like the vile cargo pants worn by Kim of Kath and.

you need an old fashioned dept store and get wolfords (thick, opaque black ones)

I wear them with a dress thingy and I am nearly 42

an old-fashioned dept store is exactly where i am headed first, but i need summerweight ones, lol.

I got some in h&m. They have themin lots of colours

A dance shop.

My DD wears them for her contemporary dance classes. They don't have to be shiny...

'kay, i got them in accessorise, realised i had some monsoon tokens lying around. lord knows they're probably revolting but i had fifteen zillion other things to grab in town and kept bumping into minor pop heroes so i was glad to get something.

Black? To the ankle? Or to the calf?

Sadly, I look like a rugby playing heifer 'cello' (pear with fat ankles acc to T&S) so I will only look on with envy at your floaty summer dress with leggings look.

Have you been to Italy yet?

summerweight tights

are you sure

well, not 15 denier or anything. my friend showed me her topshop ones and they were positively woolly, so i didn't want those. i'd say these ones are probely 60 or so denier. actually i'm guessing, as i haven't had them out of the pack yet. but they don't look woolly, thank god.

oddly, the hyooge ginormous tights dept in my local frasers has now been taken over by mulberry etc bags (and radley, now there's a shudder) and has been cut back to a teeny little display section with no footless tights. what does this say about british womanhood, i ask you?

next week, will, next week... [bliss icon]

jesus. probably. in case you thought i was being cute with that probely.
