These tights were meant to be mine.
I saw them long ago at Anthropologie and wanted them immediately (I even blogged about them here!). Everything about them is pure perfection, the lovely olive color, the frolicking little foxes and the perfect thickness of knit. I didn’t especially love the price tag though. BUT….by some miracle or miracles I happened to find the very last pair at Anthro’s post-Christmas sale! WHAT??? I perused the store, all the while tightly clutching my beloved fox tights and day dreaming of the many ensembles I could pair them with, because really….what’s more versatile than olive green fox tights? But, as my friend Becca and I headed toward the dressing rooms, I looked down at my little pile of clothes and realized the tights were missing! My heart dropped. I must’ve set them down somewhere along the way in between the housewares and gold brocade skirts. Lucky for me Becca was determined that those tights should be mine. We searched high and low and scoured every corner of the store and finally found them lying on a table of shirts. Like I said….these tights were my destiny. Here’s how I paired them:
glasses: F21
earrings: pearl studs – 1st anniversary gift from Craig
denim dress: H&M
sweater dress underneath: H&M
belt: H&M
cardigan: J.Crew
watch: Target
tights: Anthropologie
boots: Love Culture
I had to wear a sweater dress under the denim dress since this outfit was for work and I could always use a little extra length when sitting on the floor with three and four year olds :). The high bun is a new look for me and it’s purpose was “Day 2 of my 30 Day Hair & Makeup Challenge“. I was a little skeptical at first, but I rather like it now. Feel free to follow along with the rest of my 30 day Challenges here.
Oh….and P.S. My Look Book posts are now being referred to as “hallway fashions” courtesy of my friend Ash. I’m just too much of a wuss to go outside to take photos when it’s so freaking cold!

Adorable! Very well put together outfit. I may have heard foxes were a neutral hence going with EVERYTHING (didn’t hear that but I would wear those tights with everything anyway!).
I love the tights! And isn’t it always more fun when finding them is an adventure?
Your outfit is adorable too. I’m especially loving the boots. 🙂
I have them too and LOVE them, they are fun aren’t they!? and I absolutely adore how you paired them, o hello greta ideas, thanks Lauren! go for the bun, you look fab btw!
I love looking at your outfits best because they always look like something I would wear myself!! I love those tights, good score!
I love little fashion victories like that. The tights are adorable as is the rest of your outfit.
Love it, I want to get some cute patterned tights.
Glad that you are doing Hallway Fashion. I’m a tights lover as well, but I need a better variety. Olive green tights are in my near future. 🙂
Could you look any cuter?!?!?
I love love love those tights!! I remember when you blogged about them! I am so happy that they are your!! It was fate!!
– I went to F21 and I found this beautiful flowered dress, but I wasn’t 100% sold on it so I thought I would wait. When I WAS sold on it, it was no longer there! I had to travel to another F21 and look high and low for it, and I found it!! Last one. My size!
I know exactly how you feel!!!!
Congrats on your find!!!
PS I LOVE your ‘do!!!
Happy Wednesday!!!

Love the tights! I wear dresses ALL the time, so I’m starting to take a little more risk in the tights I wear & these are just too cute! I also love the new name for your look book, it seems like a perfect fit given where your outfit photos are taken 😉
ohhhhhkay! can we talk about how cuuuute this is? seriously. every. single. aspect. is. adorable. can’t get over it! you look great! keep it up!
Dang it! I wanted those so bad, too! Becca text me when they went on sale, but I wasn’t able to make it downtown in time 🙁
They look super cute on you though! I’m glad someone I know can enjoy them 🙂
It was meant to be. They look so cute on you and I wish I could pull them off! I’m seriously considering going back to jcew to see if there are any more of those cardigans…I freaking love it and you could literally wear it with everything!
holy cute tights!!!
maybe i will join in that challenge next month 🙂
xoxo
Frick’n cute outfit! I am once again jealous of not having an Antro in reach of me…. Maybe it is a good thing as I know that I would go crazy and spend a mortgage payment. Even the H&M is a good 3 hours and a ferry boat away from me…. I am doomed.
Oh this is super cute! I would never know what to wear with those tights, but you matched them perfectly! I love when a garment finds me. And it’s the only one left. And in MY size. And its on SALE. Yes. I’m a shopaholic.
so cute! Love the bun!
I adore those tights. Why does anthropologie have to be so expensive? Ug, why does everything there have to be fantastic? Man, I would live in there if I could. They even have beds for me to sleep on. I love your 30 day challenge, and your vlogs are adorable! Seriously though, I think it just completes your whole amazing persona that you put out, and you can tell it’s real. Or maybe I’m just awkward too so I don’t notice it.
I do love your boots!!
Love your tights, and I think I even saw them yesterday in the store! Not sure. 🙂 And I’m so jealous you got so good looking boots!!!! 🙁 😉
Aw you’re so cute and Portland-y! 🙂 (And I’m totally loving the hair switch-up… You’ve convinced me to be a bit more adventurous myself!)
I LOVE this outfit! You are super duper cute and I love when things are meant to be yours like those tights!
As I was looking at these photos I thought whom what is different …. your hair!! Ahhh love that you are doing this challenge. That outfit is quite frankly one of my favorites. And, I love when clothes have a story behind them … yay for finding them. Mucho muhco Love! xo
um. those are ridiculously cute. and i want to steal your outfit.
Oh my goodness, I am in love with your tights! I need something like that in my life. Thanks for the inspiration!

ps you look adorable.
Foxes are always in style. And I already said I loved your hair and seeing you do new and different looks than your usual. but the whole thing is really Portlandy. Such as in the song from the show Portlandia “the dream of the 90s is alive in Portland” and they say “all the hot girls wear glasses” that is what this pic makes me think of.
omg! i just bought these on sale a few weeks ago too and fell in love. I wore them on new year’s eve and was going to post about my love for them this week. 🙂
love this!
Those tights are so stinking cute! I wish it got cold enough here in Miami to wear tights…
HOW MUCH WERE THEY!!!!!???? so cute!!!!
