Whats your color?

How do you dress in style for the spring, but still keep warm in this winter weather? Experts have finally found an answer for you: Colored tights. 

I have recently discovered an Internet phenomenon called Welovecolors.com. This site has anything a fashionista could ever want when it comes to tights. I’m talking solid color tights, tie-dye tights, glitter, footless, patterned, socks, lacey, plus sized, fishnet, even tights for men, children, and more. And it doesn’t stop there; this company carries over 50 colors, including Kelly Green, Peach, Orchid Pink, and even Neons.

The easy to navigate website makes shopping for tights interesting and fun. At $12.50 a pop, how could we not? (Prices range depending on what product you buy). The only frustrating part is trying to decide how many pairs of tights you can buy without maxing out your credit card for the month. 

Upon hearing about these tights, I was curious to say the least. I, like many others, had preconceived ideas about tights. My thoughts were littered with images of me as a little girl, being forced to don a pair of my sister’s hand me downs.

I am happy to say these tights erased all former ideas I may have had about tights, upon first sight. One was a gorgeous mint Green, and the other was a beautiful deep burgundy. I immediately started thinking of clothes that would bring out the color in these tights.  They are not only a statement, but they are fashionable.

But the surprises kept coming. While sliding the fabric onto my legs, I was pleasantly surprised at the soft, silky feel of the material. And no matter how far I stretched it up my leg, the color didn’t dissolve or lighten. They stayed the same gorgeous, vibrant color that they had when folded up.
 
Only after walking around in them for a while was my mind completely and utterly made up. Not only do they not scratch your skin, or pinch your toes, but they also are thick enough to keep you warm in the cool weather, and stylish enough to keep you looking like you just hopped off the runway. 

We love colors products have been featured in magazines that I’m sure you can find stuffed in your purses or backpacks, like Nylon, O Magazine, Seventeen, and Lucky, and can be found on celebrities such as Nicki Minaj and Rihanna. 

If you want to stomp into the Arizona “spring” semester with a bang, I suggest bookmarking www.welovecolors.com on your computer.  Five stars for flirty, fabulous, fun, and fashionable.
