I'm not looking for a countermand, dear. I'm looking for reverse.
posted by Colleen Shirazi on Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 7:47 PM (Pacific)

Top: C & C California
Cardigan: Hugo Boss
Skirt: J.Crew Nico (from Feb. 2010)
Tights: Uniqlo Heattech
Boots: Cydwoq

Here I am speculating whether Heattech tights can transform a summery skirt into something winter-wonderful.

The short answer is, yeah. Mind you, today was not particularly arctic, but it was chilly. These tights run small-ish (I'm accustomed to ordering large in stuff like this), and they're 100% synthetic (other tights on the Uniqlo site contain a small percentage of wool and I'll wager they are substantially warmer). A nice factor is the "support"-ive quality—these fit rather tight, but firm-tight not uncomfortable-tight.
