Layered Nudes

I hit on the bright idea to layer nude fishnets over nude nylons, the idea being that the nylons would keep my legs warm and the fishnets would sort of hide the nude nylons. It definitely did keep my legs warm, and it had the added benefit of making the fishnets a LOT more comfortable, because these are really course and leave an imprint on my butt when I sit down (sorry for the TMI). However, it still didn't hide the weird color of these nude nylons, which I've realized really need to be replaced. The shade just doesn't look very natural to me, and they aren't quite sheer enough for my taste. But, the idea was still a good one, and I'll definitely try it again with some better nylons. Or maybe better yet, I'll find a good pair that has the fishnet pattern woven right in. Anyone have any recommendations?

Questionable Nylons

I'm not sure how I feel about these coffee-colored nylons, but I put them on because they met 2 important requirements: they were clean and they had no runs in them. It's possible that they looked a lot worse from my vantage point (i.e., looking down my legs at them), but to me they seemed far too dark. Not that it matters now, as I managed to run them during the day and thus destine them for the trash. As for the rest of the outfit, the burgundy top is from Anne Taylor, waistcoat from Benetton, skirt from Sunhee Moon, and shoes from Steve Madden. The jewelry is from a local import store. I absolutely love the waistcoat; it goes with so many outfits and gives anything a polished, tailored look.

Also, new background today! I figured the books were a good match with the nerdy theme of the blog, and anyway I've gotten tired of posing in my entry hall. Living as I do in a small apartment, my choices for photo settings are very limited. I'm also still experimenting with the camera settings.
