Sparkle to my Step

I’ve always loved the traditions surrounding Thanksgiving that bring together family, appreciation and great food.  I had a restful time up in Northern California and arrived back home to a jam-packed calendar that included my first holiday party.   Since I ate an undisclosed amount of dessert over the break, I opted for a billowy blouse and added some crystal tights for a festive touch.  After I made my first embellished tights here, I wanted to create a holiday appropriate pair and I’ll be posting the DIY steps while I’m guest blogging on another site next week (details to come).

    I just did a post about tights and these are more amazing than any of my picks, I do believe! First i thought of starry night, then of big fat raindrops… any tights that invoke so many pretty scenes must be fabulous!

    Glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    i do love the tights. I agree with planetlumiere, you do not need any accessories with such amazing tights! although, how are you going to wash them?

    always love your looks, post more looks! i love the food too don’t get me wrong, but your outfits are always interesting and unique. (that might be because cali style is different than the windy city!)
