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?
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective, and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.
Since I am not quite 40 (almost there) and I live in Florida I do my best to not have to wear tights or leggings. It does get cold here (most people seem shocked by that) but when it does I pull out my boots, coats and long dresses/skirts and try to wear just knee highs – I do not like full-blown panty hose – too much to handle here…
I actually never wear panty hose or legwear unless I’m wearing a dress in the winter–and that’s a rarity, I just hate my legs!
I love the outfits too but can you do also outfits for women over 55?
I am the lone ranger over here, and am 51! If you or any of your over 55 friends want to submit photos I would consider them! You can always visit my pinterest board here which has tons of Women over 55!
I would love to see my wife in those boot ;).
All these outfits are cute! The Texas heat is too intense. Although, this year the warm weather came a lot slower. Usually everyone is running around in summer clothes by April.
I don’t normally, but only because I live where there are no transition times! It goes from hot to cool and back to hot!
I haven’t worn legwear (pantyhose) for a long time. It is much too hot and humid here for most of the year.
I love to wear tights, off-white & black, instead of regular nylons. These too give you the control-top, keep your legs warmer, and last a lot longer as they are less likely to “run” or “snag”. 🙂
I love love love those boots!
I haven’t worn leg wear in years. Living in Florida it can be really hot to wear. But I do love those outfits, especially the third one. Gorge!
no I rarely wear legwear but they look really cute so I might give them a shot 🙂
I wear them at times. I especially like the look with boots!
No, I usually don’t
I don’t wear leg wear on a regular basis. Only if I have to.
I don’t think I’ve ever worn these, but they’re definitely something to consider.
I don’t on a normal basis, but when I do I’ll be sure to check these out!
I wear them occasionally, I love the boots.
I like to wear tights and the RARE occasion that I make it out of my yoga pants or jeans:)
I like the boots
Thankfully I haven’t worn pantyhose in years. I’ve never liked the strangulation on my body feeling. That being said, I do wear leggings and tights. While these are slightly less uncomfortable they have become a necessity due to age……oops, I mean gravity. hehehe
