The wedges look great. I might try it if I had more tights and some good wedges.

an excellent way to ruin a pair of tights

A couple years ago I saw this video snippet about how some designer put opaque black tights over her models’ shoes because she wanted the runway show to be about the clothes, not the accessories. I’ve completely forgotten who the designer was or what the clothes looked like, but for some reason I remembered the tights-over-shoes part, and so I decided to try it.

I think this would be best achieved with a pair of super-high, chunky wedges, but since I don’t have any of these I wore an old pair of wedges that I bought in 8th grade that now seem pitifully low-heeled. After i got home, I tried wearing tights over my real high heels (for some reason I could only find half a pair of white tights?) and the result was sort of spiderwebby and cool. Maybe I’m going crazy, but I really like this look and I’m planning on experimenting much further.

(and in case you couldn’t tell from the title, walking around like this all day will tear holes in the feet of your tights. Just a warning.)
