DIY Collants

 Tights(collant) are big in France.
 Particularly patterned tights - in a book how to be more French for Frenchies.
 Wear Botticelli on your ankle..why not?
 Or cupids?
 The constitution on 'collant ancien'?
 Pawprints? Of course.
 Dotty socks
 To wear with dotty shoes by Louboutin
 Bunnies for bebe. Everyone gets to wear patterned socks in France.
 Today I got an email for DIY shoes and clothing, but no DIY tights.
 Still I would like to wear cerise(cherry) tights and Vichy checks too.
 Macaron collants (tights)? A must do!
No time to whip up your own tights 1-2-3? Just follow Lanvin's example and Elmer glue a few black bows on your legs. Parfait!

  2. There's so many to choose from. I tend to stick to black, but I thought of you when I was in Gallerie Lafayette, I saw some purple ones on a model, so just for fun I bought some, & my lovely grandson told me I looked cool for a 'Meme'.

  5. Cute! Lacey black tights worn with a black sweater dress and black boots is as daring as I get when it comes to patterned legwear.
