the week of coloured tights

Skirt - Thrifted//Chambray Shirt and Thermal - Forever 21//Oxford Flats - Wanted Shoes//Tights - Joe Fresh//Necklace - Mexx (old)

I'm declaring this the week of coloured tights!  Totally official.  And, just in case you were wondering, no it doesn't matter that it's being started halfway through the week!

I appreciate how coloured tights look on people in pictures (case in point: my Pinterest), however in the past I have had qualms about how they would look on me.  That changes this week!  I'm going to try and post a couple of outfits throughout the rest of the week that each feature a pair of tights in different hues.  I think coloured tights are a nice way to brighten up winter outfits, and given the drop in temperatures this week and seeing snow flurries yesterday, I think this is a good time to incorporate these into some outfits.

For this particular outfit I chose a chambray button up shirt along with a black velvet skirt because I enjoy mixing different textures as well as the colour combination of blue, black, and burgundy (or oxblood, or maroon - however you want to label it).  Velvet is such a cold weather fabric and I hope to get lots of wear out of this skirt this season.  I added a grey thermal shirt underneath the chambray because today was quite chilly and wore some flat oxford shoes because I had several errands to run and these are quite comfortable!  Do you like the look of coloured tights?  Have a great week! :)
