Tights are NOT Pants

As the new year began, I realized that I needed to start blogging. But, what do I say? What would other people want to read? Then the epiphany happened: this is MY blog, so I can write whatever I want. So here goes my first blog ever...

Tights are not pants! There are no exceptions. I'm not knocking on tights, I actually love being able to wear summer dresses and skirts all year around while keeping my legs warm(ish). But, tights are undergarments. Even if you are 6'2" and 135lbs and gorgeous, tights are still not pants and should not be worn with just a shirt. If you can see your ass, you are not fully dressed. It is trashy and inappropriate.

I was bitching about this epidemic to a male friend, and he was like "its totally hot". This is why straight men should not be in the fashion world. If it was up to them, women would all be running around in their lace panties and bras and nothing else. What I find to be the exciting thing with fashion, is looking sexy while being covered up. It is really easy to get guys' minds in the gutter by stripping down. No brainer. But, when you get that compliment or that look when not showing a ton of scandalous skin wearing a dress, or better yet a jacket, that is respectable sexy success.

I just want people to look good. Hopefully in a few years these girls look back at photos of themselves wearing tights as pants and see where they went wrong. I thought we already learned that after the '80s, but I guess each generation has to figure it out for themselves.
