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.
The last outfit is a bit too young. This is coming from a person around the same age. The other two look good.
these pics look great!
Yes I wear Legwear in the spring. It stays cold in the Pacific NW. I love outfit #1.
Hanes are great, especially the leggings!
I wear my silk long johns when it’s very cold. I wear cute socks most of the time until it’s barefoot weather.
Gosh my husband would love to get me into some Hanes legwear as that would most likely mean a skirt or dress. I just don’t feel comfortable in them and don’t have a lot of places they are “needed”…work is casual. Plus, I tend to freeze even in the summer as buildings/work/etc are so cold.
Wow..I am surprised these are made by Hanes. I usually find their stuff to be pretty boring and not too stylish, but these look great !! Thanks for the review.
I do wear leg wear when I’m wearing a skirt, but I feel I should be more creative with my choices with all the colors and prints that are available these days. I love the trousers from The Loft in the second photo!
I do not happen to wear legwear for many reasons, mostly because I’m not a fashionable dresser, and do not really wear dresses or skirts. I do think that women look far better in legwear than not wearing hose, because legwear creates a finished look for a woman’s ensemble, and frankly, helps to cover knobby knees and scars and other unsightly leg problems.
I’m a jeans and t-shirt girl. On the rare occassion where I need to dress up, I do wear Hanes hose!
love the third outfit very pretty something i would definetly wear and oh my those shoes so pretty!
yes, it is goo cold in New England for bare legs this early in the year!
I am 57 and like these suggestions. thanks for your post.
I’m gonna tell you the truth; I don’t really. Hose is for church only. the rest of the times it’s jeans (or worse!). You are an inspiration though.
I always am cold, even in the summer, so I love what you have done with the Hanes. I am going to have to try their pantyhose,…I wear Legg’s, and they fall down! Yikes!
I don’t really wear legwear much. Only when necessary when I where dressy clothes. I like to wear leggings, though. However, I must say that these outfits are all very pretty 🙂
I wear legwear whenever I have on a skirt or dress. Most of the time you will find me in bluejeans and then I just wear socks with my tennis shoes –but they are Hanes socks. I like Hanes because they don’t stretch out of shape like other brands do. I buy Hanes for myself and my family.
I think legwear just gives a more polished look – yes,I use it!
In the spring, I wear capri leggings sometimes.
wow I didn’t know Hanes makes pantyhose, I will have to try these, they looks great. Thank you for sharing.
