{layers}
I wear my clumpy but warm Uggs (the only time I wear them out in public) while I wait for the bus. A woolly hat (brimmed to keep errant rain drops off my glasses) and a giant scarf help out as well. When I get to work, I shed the extra accessories and swap the boots for a pair of ballet flats. Reverse the process to get home, adding gloves if necessary. Easy-peasy.
*The opaque red tights are from Urban (I remain loyal to my Old Navy tights, but they have a limited color selection, so I'm forced to look elsewhere sometimes) and the lace overlay tights are from Forever 21. I can't find the exact pair online, but they have lots of other fun options and it's worth checking out the selection at your local store. As you would expect, the consistency of their sizing is a bit lacking (I have one pair that is a bit small and one pair that is a bit large), but they don't run easily and they're still nice and comfy.
so cute. I love Forever 21 with their selection of styles.
ReplyDeletelove these layers. i hate the feeling of rain-soaked pants. couldn't agree more that tights are the way to go!
ReplyDeleteHow much do I love the idea of double tights? I've been smashing my work pants down into my Hunters, but this idea is oh-so-much more glam.
ReplyDeleteNice layering action, lady.
ReplyDeleteI've been all about thick tights and Hunter boots lately--I like that I can wade through lakes in them without getting soggy.
Very, very classy!
ReplyDeletei love layering tights and your combination of color and texture is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love tights layering. It has saved me from dying from the cold many times, that and my hunter wellingtons.
ReplyDeleteI like your color combination! Its fun to add so many more options, not to mention warmth. Hope you are staying dry!
ReplyDeletecute and as they would say here, artsy! and artsy is a compliment!
ReplyDeletethat looks adorable! i have a pair of lace tights and i've never thought to do that.
ReplyDeleteStylin. Love that the rain doesn't cramp your style.
ReplyDeleteI love the leggings! And layering sounds like a great idea. My jeans got wet yesterday and it takes too long to dry!
ReplyDeleteLol, I love how detailed you are, you make me smile:) Stay warm + dry.

I like it. I like it alot. A girl I saw today had the sweater black tights, and I was completely coveting them throughout class. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love that look! Perfect for winter in London too.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this layered look! it's like twice the fun! and a great way to add some pop on even the dreariest winter days!
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting home from a rainy commute in San Francisco - and now wet/cold from head to toe - eek! I love your comfy AND cute solution--especially the good boots + ballet flats. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I do decide to wear pants for the day (which is hardly ever), it always rains! I try to avoid wearing them at all costs when it's raining for the exact reason you mentioned. Skirts and tights are so much more forgiving and warm (I think!).
ReplyDeletelayering tights?! how rad are you?
ReplyDeletep.s. stand by for a gin post...
You are a smarty pants my dear! Those tights look super cute layered... I would've never thought of that- bravo :)
