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.
I don’t… I live in Minnesota and especially this year the warmer weather just doesn’t seem to want to get here!
Our climate is so mild that we don’t need legwear.
I don’t wear leg wear all that often unless we are talking leggings. I really enjoy all of your blogs thank you for sharing your wisdom 🙂
Back when I was teaching I would wear leggings on the chilly days.
Love the dress and the ankle boots, so cute 🙂
I don’t wear leggings very often.I don’t like the way I look in them.They always look better on other people.You look great in the spring outfits!
I like the pins !
Oh yes! Even in summer, I love wearing legwear. Depends on personal preference.
Hanes has been around for a LONG time and I have used their products many time. Yes, wearing leg wear in winters especially is a must for me
My mom alway told me be yourself and scar the older I get the more like her I am. We even have the same taste
Yes wear them often love all your pictures!
Love the outfits
I like all the outfits especially how you combined the pieces like the vest from the thrift shop it’s really cute.
Such cute outfits
I have real fair skin, So I definately wear leggings, hose etc.
SKINNY I USED TOO BE THEY ARE GREAT BUT LOOK TERRIBLE ON OVERSIZED PEOPLE AND A LOT OF THEM DON’T SEE THAT
HA – we have no transitional seasons here. It’s hot, hotter, hotter than blue blazes, then it’s cool for a couple of days.
And I dare you to show us that muffin top…I don’t think you really have one!
I always wear leg wear…exception being only when it is August hot and im wearing a long sundress..I was just always taught to wear tights or hose. All of the looks were stunning!!! I will be checking out the Hanes site!
loving the first and last outfit the most. I live in Minnesota where it was snowing yesterday, so I am all about wearing leggings and what not.
as i too am so cal its almost always flip flop weather for me
