Rip the tights! I’m not ‘kneezing’ around…!
Thought I’d give one of this season’s latest fashion trends ‘a go’, ripped jeans are back! (Oh no! I hear you wail – thought that was well over in the 80’s…remember Kylie & Sam Fox in them? – no, we don’t need to go there..) Well I suppose the current generation needs to ‘experience’ this look for themselves. I remember at the time, no one could believe anyone would buy pre-ripped jeans – it just seemed too far fetched to actually take in. But well it was the truth – it did actually happen & now it’s happening again...! I mean why can’t you rip your own jeans? (I know plenty who did) So I thought, as I am personally well by my ‘sell by’ date for wearing jeans in my typical ‘no nonsense’ fashion, I would give ripping my tights ago. Results are below:-
And I feel are, ‘below par‘, it’s just not a ‘gentile enough‘ look, it’s far too edgy for my ‘no nonsense approach’, but well it does have something, you just don’t expect ‘American tan’ tights to be pictured in such a way or ‘Champagne‘ in my case (see pic). Plus on a practical note – it’s too dam cold for exposing the knees at present. Therefore this look get’s a ‘dislike’ in my ‘look-book’ as it’s too freezing for a ‘kneezing!’
Above is a shot of my tights before ‘unpacking’, they are Pretty Polly in a charming ‘Champagne’ colour, from a pack that looks like it’s from the 80’s also….I like the detail in the illustration of the lady delicately touching her ankle. So is she checking for a rip? – or are they ‘ripped to perfection’? just like mine... though I feel this is fashion ‘is too full of holes to follow….!‘
