What I wore with red tights!

"cofarb" <do...@cofarb.com>
Yesterday, to visit a friend on her 93rd birthday:
Very thin black wool v–neck wraparound jumper (above knee length);
Black ballet neck bodysuit;
Fire engine red tights;
Black Steve Madden high–heeled maryjanes (they have chunky heels and black
leather appliqued flowers on the toes; they look either very 60s or very
today though they are nether, being about 10 years old);
Silk scarf that is black with some colorful embroidery on one side and red
on the other side; the red shows through to the black side for a very
interesting effect;
Plain black shoulder bag––very soft leather––a gift from my brother after
his trip to Paris;
Silver puff heart with a heart–shaped garnet in the center (a Yurman ripoff)
on a black leather cord;
the usual diamond solitaire drop earrings and single stud.
The red tights took some getting used to but I thought they looked pretty
cute with the maryjanes; as a benefit, since I didn't wear boots, I didn't
have to add these to the "too effed up to wear with anything but boots"
pile.<G>

Makeup, it takes believing in. Like a magic carpet, it's belief that
makes it fly. Otherwise, it's just a rug.
If you believe in it, makeup has a magic all it's own.
Of course, makeup is only dime–store magic. But it works well enough,
when it's used properly.",

That sounds like a fantastic look! I love the idea of picking up the
tights color so subtly with the scarf.

Thanks. The scarf provided just enough color to counterbalance the tights.
My thanks to the a.f.er who suggested that a scarf would be a good way to
"relieve" the almost all–black outfit I wore the other day.

Great outfit Cofarb! It sounds like the scarf and pendant tied the
look together perfectly. And to wear it to see a friend on her 93rd
b'day is icing on the cake – no pun intended.
