EBEW: Coloured tights

The building N and I work in has no shortage of textured walls and interesting background elements, like this indoor tree. The problem is the lack of privacy. It's a bad place for bloggers. And people seeking to indulge in illicit office romances, come to think of it. As N was taking my pictures, I thought I'd ever so nonchalantly lean against the tree. A whole bunch of leaves came raining down, which caused everyone in the vicinity to turn in our direction. Awkward! I tried to camouflage myself but my Bordeaux-coloured tights and burnt orange cardigan didn't help my cause. If work is less busy next week and the warm(ish) weather holds up, I'm hoping we can get a few outdoor photos.

  1. I have to say, I think it's incredibly brave that you take outfit photos where you work! I try to keep my blog and work as separate as possible, but maybe that's just me :) Personally, I love the combination of orange cardigan and bordeaux tights that got you noticed, they're really lovely.

  2. Ooh I think I may know what building you work in (now I sound like a stalker!) I LOVE the coloured tights, fun dress, cute shoes and patterned scarf- I would definitely wear this outfit! You're a brave gal for taking the photos at work-I have such a mental image of the leaves falling down haha

  4. You are so funny! When you want to be invisible, it never happens, especially in public. Your tree is a cute prop though :)

    I absolutely adore this whole outfit! What a great idea using a sarong as a scarf. Heather

  5. Colored tights are a fabulous way to 'fun' up an outfit! Love the color of yours. Looking for a similar color in a sweater tight (they're the only ones that don't itch me)!

  8. You're very brave to take photos at work! Love those coloured tights & how the scarf has a bit of the same colour in it.

  9. This outfit is PERFECT!!! I wouldn't have thought to put those colors together (burnt orange & purple-ish) but I absolutely LOVE how they look - so much that I will have to try it in my closet!!! Love that the scarf ties it all in and the booties are cute too :) This one's a winner in my book!
