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 the second outfit. I wear leggings under skirts.

I cheat and wear leg wear in the winter, fall under my pants if really cold out and doing winter outside work. Also wear during the spring while those legs are still horribly white!
I only wear legwear when I have too!
I wear legwear with high boots in winter — otherwise, it’s not til it’s at least 55 or I break out the wool stockings that my skirts see the light of day!
i wear sweaters but light ones in spring until the weather gets warm i live in pa so the weather here is so unperdictable we have nice weather somedays and others it can feel pretty cold but i still wear jeans but im going in kneed pants and somedays some dresses

I only wear leggings in the winter, but hose, I wear year round.
I really like that maroone colored dress! So pretty! 🙂
I wish that I had your legs — great photos.

I love all the looks!Hanes is one of my favorite companies
Lovely outfits! I miss when leggings were the height of style under shorts and skirts a few years back, it let me find them literally everywhere and I wore them under everything.
I would love to wear them for work. 🙂
Depending on the thickness, I think leggings can be worn all year long. They are definitely a fun fashion touch with the right pair of boots or outfit.
I love the boots,really nice!
You look amazing!
Yes, actually I do wear them year-round. It gives me a “finished” look. And how nice to see them modeled on someone over 18!!
