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?

there you go again the out fit and shwo are great how many airs d you have
too many girl!
I usually wear tights in the winter. I never transition to nylons, just bare legs then! 🙂
I think that every girl or woman should wear pantyhose and ditch the stupid flip flops and bare legs. I once heard from a “famous” fashionista that pantyhose were “old” looking. I disagree. I really think and feel that they are an important and often forgotten or downplayed piece of wardrobe. It’s ironic because I just commented on another post about how I loved that you were wearing stockings and was glad to see it and now you have a post about legwear. It’s important.
As for the shoes, well, I love the boots, but for me I am not a fan of the vintage shoes. Personally, they are just too clunky and “old” looking. Yes, I know vintage and all that, but I don’t feel that they really go well. Then again, I’m not wearing them and if you like them then that is what counts, but for me I’d stick to wearing them with pants.
Maddie, Your comments were so insightful. I appreciate the insight and hope you will stop in often!
I do sometimes. I love those boots!
Since my accident I have not been able to wear pantyhouse or tights – too difficult to put on/take off. However, that does not prevent me from admiring the beautiful leg wear and pictures.
real nice review and you are beautiful…
very nice spring outfits
Absolutely stunning looks. I love how you can work all these outfits!
i’ve only ever worn silkies hosiery… and only rarely… i always wear pants, unless i’m in a bathing suit, because i’m too lazy to shave… and even when i do shave, my skin is white and my hairs are black and my pores are huge so it looks like i haven’t shaved anyway.
of course, this year i’ve resolved not to shave at all… and i might even wear shorts because i’m past the age where i care 🙂
I love wearing hanes. Cute shoes
I love those shoes!
I generally do not wear legwear… In the fall and winter, I wear tights a lot – but that’s about it 🙂 I love the pants you have on, polka dots! So cute 🙂
I’m very picky about legwear, but yes, I think it’s still great!
Fierce shoes in every picture!
I wear pantyhose in the winter too.Winters are fairly mild in my part of Texas.
I used to wear all kinds of leg wear and I did buy Hanes many times. The older I have gotten tho, the harder it is to put on pantyhose or tights so alot of times I just slip shoes on with nothing. Thanks for the post 🙂
this cute for some there age it works for them i am glad the look like they like the clothes too 🙂
I love tights but more than anything I love knee and thigh-highs!
Like hosiery, mostly tights but they are stylish and a lot of fun these days..
As an over 40 woman, I appreciate these models. And the outfits are tasteful too!
