Tight Damsels, Yo

I once owned an awesome pair of white tights with a flower design running up the sides. I loved them. They went flawlessly with my crushed velvet jumper, and let's just say 10-year-old me rocked them like no one's beeswax.

But then somewhere between '90s holiday parties and middle school band concerts, tights went out of fashion. My green tights with polka dots? No longer awesome. Black sheer tights? Too mom-ish. And those fabulous white tights with the black applique I so loved? Well, those unceremoniously met their demise in a Goodwill bag.

And then, slowly, tights began to become cool again. At first opaque black tights were the only acceptable form (jumping on the leggings bandwagon WHAT UP 2007?), but then tights in all the colors of the rainbow began to be marketed, too.  It was a new dawn...of pants-less-ness.

And now, textured tights are cool again. And I for one am friggin' ECSTATIC:

And, of course, some awesome flower appliques! My 10-year-old self and I are totally high fiving over these bad boys.

So what say you damsels? Do you think tights are tight? Because I totally do.
