On the Dot

These tights are super 80s, aren't they? They make me think of Melanie Griffith in Working Girl. And I've never viewed her as being a particular influence on my look.

I'm still finding them quite appealing though. In an inexplicable way.

Unlike the lacy tights that seem to be decorating the legs of London's young ladies so that they look like they have a terrible skin disease. Not cute. Surely.

How funny! I have always hated a sheer black tight. I don't know why, I have always just found them super trashy. You know, like the ones that Melanie Griffiths wears in Working Girl. But I have been more and more drawn to them over the last few months, and today, yes indeed this very day, I actually put some on and I love them! I even love the thought of ones with a very small polka dot.

I was thinking that I was leaning more towards the 40s lady-like thing, and I do really want to do the whole belted sophistication with a fur tippet and elbow length leather gloves and a beret, but what with my ginormous shoulder pad obsession maybe there is room to look like I am in the Addicted to Love video.

I don't get the Paris connection, but let's do it. I am all for turning the big smoke into gay Paris! How chic! Plus I'm sure Jerry would approve!
