I owned a pair of floral-printed tights for a year. They were bought in the same post-Christmas Anthropologie sale run as these dotty ones, but my goodness I just felt goofy wearing them. Somehow floral legs on me looked deeply wrong. These gray tights with their tiny dots, on the other hand, are still a favorite. And even though they’re just peeking out at the knees, they do a bang-up job of tying this outfit together.

I’ve piled a lot of favorites into this outfit. The military jacket is a long-time standby. This black dress is the same cut as my beloved striped one, and has that fabulous fit-and-flare silhouette. The burgundy bag brings in my current favorite color. And those Frye Veras? I wear them to pieces once the weather turns cool.
