Cozying Up with Tights in the Winter
Thursday, January 10, 2013
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
So I woke up this morning to frigid temps. I mean like, Canada frigid. Back when I lived in Canada I remember mornings that were so cold it literally felt your bones were frozen and somehow this weather has followed me to Utah. Usually I brag that Utah has really short, mild winters, but this year we've had like four feet of snow and below zero temps. Wanna know what that means?
That I get to go shopping.
Because the clothes that I usually wear all winter are nowhere near warm enough now. I've loaded up on sweaters, a new parka, pants and then, No nonsense was kind enough to send me a few pairs of No nonsense tights and leggings to wear. Thank goodness, because I've absolutely used them anytime I've needed to wear a skirt or dress.
I got both the cable knit tights and the brown leggings and have been coming up with infinite ways to wear 'em. I love that an outfit looks cozier and more fashion-forward with tights -- I think it's the texture that does it. I tend to dress preppy and they're perfect with boot socks and a kahki skirt for casual wear and so I don't freeze my legs off.
Check out these cute outfits!
I wore mine with boots and a stripe-y rugby shirt and it dressed down the fact that I was wearing a skirt in the middle of winter. WIN!
Anyway, No nonense has a ton of different styles and colors. Bonus? You can grab them pretty much wherever -- grocery store, drug store, mass retailers, you name it -- and they're cheap! Such a fast, easy way to change up an outfit without buying a whole wardrobe. Not that I would do that or anything.... cough.

I love tights with a knit dress. It's so cozy and like, adorable snow bunny without being too bulky.

Ok Jae, I gotta know. How do you keep tunics and knit things from bunching up full of static with tights/leggings underneath? This is my #1 beef about wearing tights in winter. You must have a cool-girl secret for solving this.
Aw, thanks for thinking I'm cool.
When I wear tights and skirts or dresses, I always wear a dress-slip. The one I have is this: http://kingdomandstate.com/product/slips/the-long-slip-white/
I wear it as an undershirt and then it's a slip too. Score! lol. I also have just a plain skirt slip too. But I definitely can't go sans slip when I wear tights. SOOO staticky!
love them tights gurlllllllllll
