    Quick question my friends.
    Are coloured tights a thing these days? 
    Ta.
    I'd say yes.  I don't actually have any but I would wear them.

    In August they (coloured tights) were - this article includes links to the best suppliers (in their review) - I certainly see things on my Faceache feed. Personally I always bought a size larger and that usually gave me something my "heavy legs" could get into. Support tights made me feel less constrained. Apart from the 8 or 10 pairs in a box in my wardrobe (bought maybe ten years ago, when I still wore frocks, and still in their packaging, and all black) I don't have any. Mine were all M&S but they only do Black, cream and nude.

    I love patterned tights Beanie - and keep looking at the adverts on Social Media for the Sn@g people - there stuff looks amazing! 

    Sorry to hear you fell again - thank goodness the toilet seat is the only thing that's properly broken, it's easier to fix than you would be. xx

  • I am glad to hear your mums party arrangements are coming along . Sorry to hear of your bathroom fall and broken toilet seat. 
    As for the coloured tights , a lady at work on Wednesday was wearing a lovely mustard coloured pair and they were from who EH mentioned the sn@g people.

    Yay woop to new car, sorry to hear about the fall and the toilet seat.  Re coloured tights, I haven't tried them myself yet but Sn@g get rave reviews from several friends on our style group.  Otherwise it depends what colour you're after - I've picked up thick opaque burgundy and teal in the shops in winter, but not usually anything more adventurous.

    Beanie, I have several pairs of coloured sn@g tights and I like them.

    I usually struggle with tights not being long enough but if I go for a longer length then they’re too long! But the sn@g ones are a good fit for me and don’t roll down around the waist either.

    I think I have raspberry, burgundy, purple, mustard, bottle green, red and some blue ones too. I went through a bit of a coloured tight buying phase. 😂

    Glad the jewellery and the party is going well.  Sorry about the fall.

    Coloured tights are definitely a thing!
