Purple and Nude and Comfortable Tights

Happy Wednesday! I've been trying to stay away from the basic black goes with everything look and trying different color combinations.  I love pairing purple with nude.
I usually take off my tights before the day is over because they itch and are so uncomfortable. But I was able to survive all day in these ones from Nine West. I just bought a pair of HUE tights and I'm yet to try them to see if I can survive in them. It seems everyone wears HUE tights so there must be something great about them. Does anyone ever have problems wearing tights?

Burgundy Pleats and Spotted Shoes

The last two times I wore this dress before Burgundy/oxblood/Wine/Maroon became the "It" colors for fall, I called it a red dress. Today? Behold my burgundy dress. I didn't know I had the "It" color in my closet. Next year, maybe when red becomes the color of the season, I might go back to calling it my red dress. I love the pleats because of the fullness they add to my hips.

Rust with Teal Skinny Jeans

I'm taking casual blue jeans Friday up a notch by switching to colored jeans. Other ways to spice up an outfit? Wear and combine interesting colors or add a printed scarf.

I wrote about skinny jeans for non model body types here. This pair from The Limited is a winner and is perfect for my bigger mid section, small hipped body type.

Cobalt Blue Peplum and Black

I've always loved peplum tops before they became all the rage, but couldn't find them anywhere. Now they're everywhere. I like them because they create fuller hips to help balance out my shape better.

 You can tell something is missing from this outfit - a necklace. I just couldn't find the right necklace to go with the top.

...And it's finally getting really cold

Red Pants

...The colored pants saga continues ;). I finally caved in and bought a pair of red skinnies. I've been wanting one for over a year but haven't had the courage or found the perfect fit. I finally found this one at Macy's onsale for only $9. The Style and Co version of skinny jeans are perfect for my body type. They fit everywhere, especially over my mid section, and they are not too tight. The rise is just perfect.
