The Chief Blonde is Ready For Spring!
After saying Bye Bye to Winter, The Chief Blonde sheds her coat and adds some Hanes Legwear
Finally! Winter is heading out the door and I can get ready for spring. In Michigan, the first thing we do is ditch our coats..but it’s still plenty cold here. You can’t just start running around in summer dresses and flip flops just yet. Many women over 45, like to start wearing dresses or fancy shoes that you just can’t wear in the winter months. But you can’t just let your bare legs hang out! Brr..it’s too cold yet. My solution? I wear Legwear! Knee highs, thigh highs, tights and pantyhose are my choices. In this outfit post, all my products are from Hanes.
The Chief Blonde is wearing Safari Jacket — Sam’s Club, Pants — The Loft, Ann Taylor Shoes, and Hanes Control Top Silky Sheer Pantyhose in Nude (under $6).
Heading off to a blogging event the Chief Blonde is wearing a DKNY beaded pointelle sweater (old), Eshakit dress ($89), Bally of Switzerland Shoes (vintage), and Hanes Control Top Silky Sheer Pantyhose in Sun Beige (under $6).
Heading off to a dinner with her wonderful Husband Walt, the Chief Blonde sports a glittery top from Old Navy ($19). Vintage Vest from Salvation Army ($1), handmade leather belt, Skirt –the Loft, Boots — the Loft, Tattoo Steel Bracelet c/o Emma Parker ($89), Vintage Turquoise Pins, and Hanes Lace Thigh High Hoisery in Jet Black(under $6)
I adore Hanes Legwear and Pantyhose and have wore them elsewhere on my blog >>Here<<. Hanes Legwear is affordable (all styles under $6), with a huge selection of style option and shades. I tried the styles and colors mentioned above in the outfits and also Hane’s seamless tights. I can rave about the tights too but I didn’t get a picture of them (we were late for church!) Plus, Hanes legwear doesn’t roll at my “Muffin Top waist”–in fact the pantyhose controls it. I also never get ankle sag with Hanes Legwear. I have scary white alabaster skin so I pretty much wear legwear all through the year except for summertime. Hanes is my go to brand! How about you?
Do you wear Legwear as a transitional Spring Piece?

Love those Bally of Switerland (vintage) shoes! You paired a sweet outfit to compliment. You go girl, wearing those Boots – The Loft and topped off with a bold and beautiful Vintage Turqouise Pin!
I live in Michigan too, so I can relate to your post. I love wearing tights and other leg wear. I always think they add a bit of class to any outfit.
i like
you look amazing!
Thank you for reviewing this product! I have a LOT of scars on my legs from years of playing B-ball growing up (a lot of knee burns) so wearing these will help out a LOT! They will help make my legs look beautiful!
actually, i do my legwear in the winter to keep warm! lol! spring and summer hits here in tenn so quick that we kinda skip right over the cold spring.
ok what a awesome idea being from texas i never worried bout my legs being cold but now that im on the east coast brrrrrrr thanks for sharing this info and love the outfit
I really like the 2nd look alot. I guess it is my heel aversion affecting that but I also like the colors as they suit you well.
Hanes has always been my go-to product line. Very lucky to live in southern California…..so I am almost always bare legged though.
love the safari jacket
Beautiful look, I am in San Francisco and wear leg wear about 50% of the foggy year. I love the versatility of Hanes hose or leggings.
wow love #3 look!!!
Nice out fit for my mother. I want to win these gift.
Love the red dress and booties!
I love those boots that you are wearing with the skirt.
I do wear tights in the winters here in Green Bay. I so <3 those boots!
You are looking lovely as always and I love this tip on wearing leg wear. I think I’ll get creative and try some variations on my own.
THanks Grace!
Given that I am in sunny Santa Barbara, I wear pantyhose or stockings about twice a year and rarely need a coat. YOU, however, are rocking the look nicely, especially in that last outfit, which is super cute. I love mixing and matching thrift store finds with retail new stuff.
Seriously? You got that vintage vest at the Salvation Army?! Awesome find. I could totally rock that outfit! Lovely.
I did Tree! And it looks so cute with everything. YOU COULD ROCK IT!! The Chief Blonde
