Yes, elegran, it is about having one's own style and not really caring if fashionista bods like it or not. The important thing is to like it oneself. My question in the OP was not really about whether I should wear orange tights with the dress, it was do there exist orange tights that will be right with this dress? The answer was yes, as the friend who gave me the prefectly matching tights could see.
Her son was one of my Cubs when I ran the local pack.
One has to be so precise on Gransnet sometimes because some people take sticks by the wrong ends and bash one with them (JOKE alert!). I've found the right tights for my dress. That is what I set out to do. Most of the responses have been fun as well so it was worth doing.
Happy weekend to all betighted and unbetighted people, male or female, in whatever colour of tights they bloody well like
