Project Hosiery: Aristoc fashion tights

Jana is back after a month's absence for the next installment of Project Hosiery! This post's featured product is Aristoc diamond fashion tights.

Aristoc is another British company. I imagine there are so many European, and in particular British, companies that make hosiery because they seem to be worn more often over there. I'm sure that fashion icons like Kate Middleton have helped this trend as well: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2139534/Kate-Middleton-style-Flesh-toned-tights-sales-soar-500-thanks-Duchess-Cambridge.html

Jana chose to pair this flashy pair of tights with a shiny sleeveless top and shorts.

Jana was a major fan of this product. She rated them highly for comfort, appearance, support, and durability. She said that they offered the strength of tights while also having the appearance of high fashion nylons.

As far as likeliness to purchase, she did admit that she's never owned a pair of fashion tights before, mostly because she never took the time to see what was available. This product appears to have changed her mind, however, and she also said that she's going to have to do some online shopping an rethink adding some fashion tights to her wardrobe.

Prices for Aristoc hosiery range from $8 to $30, but given their quality some of them are probably worth the investment. Jana loved this pair so much that she wore them home after the photo shoot!

Fashion hosiery has a high turnover, so Aristoc doesn't make this specific style anymore For more information about Aristoc brand hosiery, visit their website:

Potluck Fashion: Angela

Angela's back for another installment of potluck fashion that features a lot work done cleaning up the background. Once again, the image size wasn't very big, but I was still able to do some work on. So if you want to participate but are hesitating because you don't think your photos are high res enough, here's an example to show you it doesn't always matter!
