Tights

Tights
Fall is my favorite time of year. That great transition weather between the face-melting heat of summer and the loss of toes due to frostbite in the winter. You can comfortably wear a cardigan and shorts or jeans with a tank top and not be cursing the temperature every step of the way. However, there are some fall fashions that make me want to slap somebody.

Tights. Everyone's got them. I own about a dozen pair myself. Unfortunately not everyone understands the rules imposed upon them when they decide to roll those suckers up their legs. I will only discuss one of those today because it is by far the most important and undoubtedly the most abused rule of all.

Cover your butt. Please. For all of our sakes. Unless you are Adriana Lima, no one wants to see that jiggling you've got going on. I'm really not sure what girls think when they put them on. Polka-dotted, zebra-striped whatever does not turn that two millimeter thick fabric into anything close to pants. Just tights as the only thing between the open air and your cellulite? Not ok. So please, add mini skirts, dresses, shorts, anything to complete the outfit. Whatever you do, make sure your junk is still in its trunk.
