Anonymous asked: Why not just wear dark pantyhose instead of leggings with your dress?

Tights, my dear. Which are not the same as leggings. Pantyhose is the most ri-goddamned-diculous word ever. It’s so ughhhh sounding. It’s nothing pleasant. It’s so outdated and belongs on Mad Men.  

And I like colored tights and I need some magenta ones to add to my collection.

You must be male if you called them pantyhose. And you probably had to stop and think about the word for a second. I’m pretty sure they’ve been called nylons since like the 90s. Idk. Isn’t that what those women were doing playing basketball in their pumps and buying WonderBras? Girl Power.
