Oct 3: Breaking News...Tights are not Pants!

If you want people to know that you are not a New Yorker you must boldly do the things that no one else is doing. For me that was wearing shorts and a short sleeved top to work in the fall. Let me clarify. They were more on the side of Capri business like pants and my top was professional enough for casual Friday. But as I walked down the street and entered the subway I began to feel like maybe it wasn’t the best thing to do. Everybody had on jackets and scarves and here comes this dummy in shorts. I just wasn’t cold. You would think that because I’m a California girl I would be colder than everybody else, but I wasn’t. My body hasn’t adjusted to seasons yet. I know it’s fall and winter is coming but I am so not used to layering. Like I really have to go out and buy winter clothes. And tights. I flippin hate tights. They’re like thick stockings which I hate even more. They make me itch and my legs break out in hives. Maybe I could just move to California for the winter. That’s a thought.

Speaking of tights did I mention that I hate them. I always hated them, but even more so now that they’ve become a fashion trend. I mean seriously. They are not flattering on everyone. Newsflash any imperfection you have still shows. If you have cottage cheese and rolls, the tights don’t mask them. Good thing I got that cottage cheese and dimple reduction surgery before I moved here or I would be in trouble. Ok I’m joking. About the surgery. Come on every woman has either a roll, some cheese or stretch marks. Anyway the reason why I bring this up is because tights are just that. Tights. They are not pants. They are meant to be worn under pants, skirts, etc not as a replacement. I hate it when girls wear a shirt and put tights on and think their outfit is complete. Really? That’s tacky. I was in the subway and this girl of a lighter persuasion decided that she was going to wear a shirt and tights. What made it worse was the tights were see through and you could see the entire shape of her butt. It looked gross. I know I am going to see this a lot more here because it actually gets cold here and people wear tights to stay warm not just because it’s a fad.
