Silk dress: Lux. Pink opaque tights: H&M. Ivory sheer patterned tights: H&M. Peeptoe wedges: Natural Comfort.

Believe it or not, this entire outfit costs less then $50. Thank goodness for amazing sales. I accidently ripped the sheer tights while putting them on, but most skirts and dresses cover the hole so hopefully I'll be able to sneak in a couple more wears before throwing them out. The pink tights are more of a flamingo pink then in the above photos.

I have a few more backdated outfit photos to post. Those will be coming soon.

The way you layered the tights is genius! You can get so many combinations out of it. I also secretly cover holes in my tights shhh.

YULANDA you are seriously so cute. I love the layering tights but I cant tell you how much I HATE to do it when I am shooting in the summer! Last summer I had one job where it was like 35 degrees and I had to wear a vinyl chloe dress and 3 pairs of tights, shooting on the roof of a building. THE HUMANITY.

Cute outfit (as usual), but what really strikes me is the way you shot the pic. It has a little bit of that Alice in Wonderland quality to it, like you've eaten/drank those magical edibles and grew really big.

I love the huge cushion that's the sole!

Thank you. Layering tights is also another way to make holes not so noticeable ;)

I remember you talking about that on LJ. It must've been brutal! How did they expect you to look good and not turn into a sweaty mess?!

Thanks, I'm glad you thought that because while I was taking these, I thought about how I wanted to appear giant-like.

thank you :) Yeah, I've been layering my tights since high school (usually patterned/textured over a bright colour), but I never thought of doing sheer over colour until I saw Susie's post!

I'm surprised nobody mentioned how at first glance, you totally look like you're floating in the air! My second fleeting thought was - how did she get the wall to be where the ground should be? I want your magic powers.

haha, I only wish I had magic powers! How awesome would that be? I could float over every one and see the tops of their heads for the first time! as opposed to constantly looking up their noses being short as I am.

I love the tights, they're gorgeous! I can't believe I found a fellow toronto blogger. I'm adding you to my blog list =]

Thank you! If you haven't already visited her, K-Line is from Toronto as well. I think Couture Salope might be too. There's links to their blogs on my list.
