Way too cold for bare legs in my mind! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150675 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:05:48 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1150675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 40 degrees I'd wear something on my legs. Brrr! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150666 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:03:32 +0000 nana87 1150666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to be in CT this weekend too (for a wedding) and was planning on wearing black tights, not because of my pale legs (I embrace my paleness! Yay pale! lol) but because with my growing baby bump, my dress is going to be just a liiiiiittle shorter than it normally is (crossing my fingers that the dress still fits!), so it's a modesty thing. But otherwise, I'd go bare-legged. And close-toed shoed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150636 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:53:38 +0000 MsLipGloss 1150636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: @petunia354: That's why I wear them . . . it's a business dress environment, and, for some of the old(er)-school judges, covered legs (and always close-toed shoes) are very well-received!</p> <p>ETA: I wear tights in the winter months (have them on today!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150631 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:51:46 +0000 petunia354 1150631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: That's true! In a professional setting I would definitely consider pantyhose and tights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150626 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:50:23 +0000 looch 1150626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in CT as well, but I am an old lady and wear pantyhose. I used to go bare, but after pregnancy, some veins on my legs are just too pronounced to for my taste. Plus, I work in an environment where it's customary to have covered legs...so I think the answer is it is personal preference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150622 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:49:34 +0000 MrsKoala 1150622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: Totally agreed. No one here has tanned legs right now. </p> <p>That being said, I wouldn't go bare legged in 40 degree weather. Opaque tights are the way to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150614 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:47:59 +0000 petunia354 1150614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Yes! Like I mentioned, I'm in CT and FWIW, I've never had a spray tan and don't know anyone who has. Since it's cold a good portion of the year here pale legs, not tanned, are the rule! </p> <p>I feel like this thread is going to live forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150584 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:40:16 +0000 Boheme 1150584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: You will look fab! That dress is hot. No tan needed :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150575 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:37:37 +0000 mrsjyw 1150575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bare legs or some sort of black/patterned tights during cold months in MI :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150542 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:27:28 +0000 MsLipGloss 1150542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Yanno, FWIW, I think your lack of tan will be much better received than you might think. I know it's tough to change gears after living somewhere like south FL, but it's much more chic in the north to be pale (to shun the spray tans!). :P Tan or not, Hose or not, Tights or not, you will look fabulous . . . of that there is no doubt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150236 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 08:34:19 +0000 sunset840 1150236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Sally Hansen makes a leg lotion theat is not a self tanner but is "makeup" for your legs if your worried about the pale portion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150179 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 08:13:10 +0000 LuLu Mom 1150179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bare legs, I have to wear pantyhose to work every day...and would never torture myself doing it on the weekends or when I'm not required! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150140 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 07:44:05 +0000 littlek 1150140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I have a dress like that and I wore close toed heels and I think it looked good with the dress. You are going to be one hot momma!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150090 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 06:57:47 +0000 PrincessBaby 1150090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I think I will just skip the hose! I am too lazy for spray tan and hate the smell, plus I am still BFing and don't want it on my chest- which would look weird, lol. So I'll just hope that the dress looks nice enough that no one notices my super pale legs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150075 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 06:21:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1150075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd skip the hose. For some color and "coverage" Walgreens and Nordstrom both have a hose in a bottle product. You will need to apply it after your shower and a few hours before you put your dress on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150074 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 06:20:05 +0000 looch 1150074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What if you did sheer black back seamed stockings? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150056 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 05:38:16 +0000 petunia354 1150056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I've been wearing Uggs every day for the past week!! It's a little warm for them in the afternoon, but I think it's still ok. You certainly won't be the only one wearing them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1150023 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 02:35:45 +0000 erinpye 1150023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: what about some really cute tights like small window fishnets, or black tights with a seam up the back? Nordstrom has all kinds of fun ones. Both are sexy options for a little extra warmth, without feeling like you're wearing old lady hose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose/page/2#post-1149908 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 22:14:54 +0000 luckypenny 1149908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get a spray tan and no stockings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose#post-1149881 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 21:32:09 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1149881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bare legs, no hose, and some St. Tropez tanning mousse. Plus a coat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose#post-1149866 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 21:20:18 +0000 junebugmama 1149866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I live in CT. Here even though it may be cold to non-CTers, it's not really cold enough yet for tights, which is what most "younger" people would wear here. Very few people I know, wear pantyhose, even in the cold months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose#post-1149861 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 21:16:51 +0000 photojane 1149861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I'm on team no-hose. But, also, holy crap... you're going to look hot. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose#post-1149812 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 20:51:37 +0000 Penny Lane 1149812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loooove black tights. in my city, EVERYONE wears them.</p> <p>when i'm brave enough to bare my legs I wear super thin nude tights to smooth my leg and give me a little tan. suuuper thin, like 10 denier so they're barely there. maybe this makes me super uncool, but no one has ever noticed (or at least, said anything!) before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose#post-1149805 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 20:49:43 +0000 brady80 1149805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on New England and I say no to panty hose. Sally Hansen makes a "spray on" panty hose. It's sort of like self tanner but not as shiny if that makes sense. They sell it next to the panty hose at Walgreens/cvs</p> <p>Also, I've rocked my uggs already. It has been pretty warm during the day, especially in the sun but I've put my LO in her fleece boots and uggs all month </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose#post-1149803 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 20:48:47 +0000 regberadaisy 1149803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: thanks! I lump it all in my head! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose#post-1149785 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 20:42:43 +0000 Mrs. J 1149785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I would agree with your def of tights vs panty hose!<br /> @PrincessBaby: I'm from the Chicago area, and I would skip the hose. If you're worried, I might try black tights. Otherwise, I don't think you look that pale! Also, Uggs are totally okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-pantyhose#post-1149769 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 20:35:15 +0000 chrispygal 1149769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in MA and will say that you could get away with open toe and no hose right now as long as you are not outside for extended periods of time. During the day Uggs would definitely be ok. It's starting to get chilly, at night particularly. Since the party is inside I think you'd be fine without hose. </p> <p>P.S. Have fun!! It's a beautiful time of year up here. :) </p>
