A Layer Cake of Tights

I try to ignore the idea of winterwear as much as possible, as I much prefer minidresses to thick wool sweaters. This penchant for revealing clothing often results in uncomfortably cold commutes that necessitate speedwalking to warm myself up – NBD, until a few days ago, when the windchill rivaled Chi-town’s and brought back horrific college memories of walking the mile to and from class in Turtle Fur. I shuddered, and set aside the gray crochet tights I’d planned on wearing; exposed skin probs wasn’t a good idea. But hark! I could layer the tights over another pair, couldn’t I? And if two pairs of tights weren’t warm enough, I had legwarmers too! I could wear my black satin-esque Target minidress after all! Layer One: Gray Heat Tech Top (Uniqlo), Hot Pink Tights (Target) Layer Two: GO International Kimono Dress, Gray Crochet Tights (Target) Layer Three: Only Hearts Mesh Ballet Sweater (another Mommy’s Closet snag), Foot Traffic Super-Long Legwarmer (Beacon’s Closet) With a hat, gloves and puffy vest, I wasn’t just warm. I was warm AND psyched about my outfit. Who knew?!
