Hosiery Lust

Being a burlesque dancer I have a somewhat close relationship with hosiery.
Dispite my style not being all corsets and stockings, I do still tend to wear me nylons on stage. Flesh-toned fishnets that is. Believe me...they're a godsend for those with a bit of wobble or blemishes to their legs.

However, these tights by Bebaroque give me the lust. They're bloody gorgeous and a bit pricey, but seriously. Look at them. Unfortunately, I've gone and branded my whole right leg bellow the knee with ink and thus patterned tights are somewhat redundant on me, but the black ones (under the cut) would be AMAZING.

Another lovely giveaway

Workwear with a Twist - Part 2

Ok, I admit, most of us don't have the budget for the kinda stuff in my last post. So here we have the next band down, under £100.

Luckily there are many retro/repro companies out there where you can find some really nice, smart clothing that's perfect for the office.

But of course there's still plenty on the high street, stores such as Monsoon and and John Lewis should certainly not be overlooked.

As usual, click the pics for the links.
