Politics and Pantyhoes

March 3, 2012,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

After seeing The Iron Lady I’ve been considering the idea of a skirt suit in a context other than the political arena. And while this outfit might not be Margaret Thatcher approved, I like the idea of mixing a traditional work wear concept with modern, trendy accessories.

I took these pictures at the capital building where my suitemate pointed out I looked like I should be drafting some leg-islature

Blazer: Forever21
Skirt: H&M

    Been looking at the blog and like all the different styles you have here! But this did it for me. Love the way your legs look with the tights and the red heels! Have you done a post about how and when to wear pantyhose?

      Thanks so much, Jon! I have not done a post on pantyhose yet, but that’s a very good idea. I will consider it the next time I’m working on my queue =)

        I just think that females nowadays think that hose are only ok to wear to weddings or church Sunday lol. They don’t realize that nylons are classy and can complete any outfit and of course sexy!. And with all different patterns and styles available it shouldn’t be hard for any girl to find a pair they like…so please lead the way and show them that pantyhose are not a thing of the past and are relevant in today’s styles…from a guy who loves a great pair of sheer L’eggs ;). Thank you and hope to see you in some as well…
