Back to the frivolity: Stockings, shoes and seasons

I love the changing seasons. Spring and autumn are my favourites but with every change there is a seasonal novelty to look forward to.

Summer and spring are easy ones, flowers, warmth and all the extra vitamin D from the sunshine makes it easier for us to see the positive.

But when the temperature dips I jump for joy because I can start wearing hosiery again.

I store mine in boxes otherwise I find they get lost in my draws.   

Sheer, opaque, black, nude, full, thigh-high, patterned, lace topped or plain I adore them all. There is nothing I like more on a chilly day than slipping my feet and legs into a pair of silky smooth stockings. To be honest it doesn't need to be cold but the humid New Zealand summer really is to hot for them.

Toasty Tootsies 

I prefer thigh high stockings and in the larger sizes I find they are easier to fit, however even when wearing silicon stay-ups I like the safety of a garter belt.

All from Hips and Curves. I like the fishnets with knee hight boots and knee length skirts, especially
if both are black, it just adds an inch or two of interest.

There is a huge variety out there for standard sizes but it can be a little more difficult for larger women - weight or hight wise . I get most of mine from Hips and Curves in the US but you have to buy a few to make it worth the postage. For the usual pantyhose Razzmatazz has a curvaceous range (previously called size wize)  which can be found in most supermarkets or  online.

These Cuban heels and seams look fantastic with a pair of black stilettos
but back-seams are not for perfectionists as they can move out of line.

So what if colour continuity makes you legs longer high contrast is way more interesting.

Red and black is a classic and perfect for me to end on.
