Ever since
dotted stockings became a trend, I'd been hunting for a pair. I didn't find them here and I didn't find them in Kuala Lumpur back in September either. I got so desperate I even thought about buying a plain pair of black stockings and using black fabric paint to put dots on them. Okay, honestly, I just thought of that. I didn't get
that desperate.
For the record,
I don't like the ones with BIG penny-sized dots. Small beauty spot dots for me.
So, on Christmas Eve day, I found a pair with heart-shaped dots from
Aldo. I wouldn't have bought them if they costed more than what they did, which was
Rs.450, coz they didn't look like they'll survive a minor scratch from a dry cuticle, let alone a chipped nail! And
they weren't packed in a polythene packet, they were just displayed barely for all to feel & scratch! I don't know what Aldo was thinking! =[
True story is: I was in Aldo with a friend, told the SA I was buying the stockings, she took it to the cash counter, then I got distracted looking at sunglasses & earrings, and left the store totally forgetting about the stockings! Of course, I remembered a few feet later and went back to actually buy them.
Since I'm doing stockings, I thought I'd show you these ones that I got from
Kuala Lumpur as well...
Yup I 'settled' for these since I couldn't find dotted ones. Something is always better than nothing, right? I think they were about the same price as the Aldo ones.
By the way, some people call these
"Tights". Like, '
dotted tights' or '
patterned tights'. I can't bring myself to call them
Tights, coz tights to me are the thick and opaque knit ones. If they're sheer, I always call them
"Stockings". But yeah, I guess
tights seem appropriate for sheer ones too.
What about you? Tights or stockings?

ReplyDeleteHeheh I usually just say tights, stockings I refer to as ones that only go knee or thigh high--but I suppose it can be used interchangeably too^^

Boths of those are really cute! I'm British and over here we would call those tights. Stockings, to me, are old lady tights, lol.
ReplyDeleteIsn't language funny? Lol.

I call the thick ones tights too. I'd call the sheer ones stockings. There's another word for the latter too - pantyhose. Haha! Those you got from KL are very fiercely cool, btw.
ReplyDeletehey i have been seeing stockings since ages but cant seem to get my head around them
ReplyDeleteare they worn for a specific purpose or just to add drama to the outfit?how to decide whether to go with your dress or skirt or add stockings to the outfit?i keep collecting lovely printed stockings because they look just so pretty..but cant really understand with what and when to wear them?also do they have a specific season in which they r worn?
