anyway, i just threw on something simple today, and i was struck by how plain i looked. i got really simple over the summer, and i think it’s high time i get a little bit more interesting now that the weather is changing! i’ve decided that what this outfit needs is a pair of tights! and i’m pretty sure this is the influence of the clothes horse. i’ve been really into reading rebecca’s blog lately and that girl is the queen of tights. she’s really gotten me thinking about all of the cool pairs i’m going to pick up for the fall now that the weather is back to chilly in the bay area.
let’s look at my wish list, shall we?
1. little heart tights. since those coveted betsey johnson’s aren’t around anymore, i went on a search and came across a comparable pair thanks to ringo, have a banana! though i suppose i may have been the last person in the world who hadn’t heard of tabio.
2. cream lace tights. i’ve wanted a pair ever since i saw this post on the sartorialist over a year ago. stuck with me.
3. my all-time favorite wolford merino wool tights. they’re expensive, but they’re virtually indestructible. i had my last pair for an entire year and they just barely got the tiniest little hole near the foot.

Oh I think you look adorably sweet in this simple ensemble.
Cliche of cliches 'sometimes less is more'.
And you are wearing a little black dress after all

That dress is so perfect, I was so sad they ran out before I could snag one! But I will def be getting those heart tights, just the right amount of cute.

You look so sweet! I love the flats here.
I am a tights addict and always on the hunt for new colors…hence my pressure to get those yellow ones. :)
P.S. I might just get a tote…won't believe it until it arrives though!
i looove simplicity, but i do think tights would look LOVELY with your dress! it seems so versatile.
I like that dress. The collar is lovely. You have no idea how long my tights wishlist is right now! And I already have a million pairs as it is.
Lovely dress, peter pan collars are so cute. I completely agree with your tights wish list, they sound great. Good luck.
Wow, you look so beautiful in that dress. And those shoes are so adorable!
love that dress erin ! you look so simply chic :D and i want some tights too !
That dress is wonderful. I'm bummed I missed Erin Fetherston's collection at Target… I wanted to get my hands on something!
I love the idea of tights with this. I need to figure out what kinds of tights to invest in. I think hearts tights or polka dotted tights are on my list…
Nope, I just found out about Tabio too! (Via you, obviously…) What a great little site. :-) Loving your blog btw.
i love that dress, pretty pictures!
plain or not, i love the dress and the outfit's simplicity. but adding tights never hurts!
i think we have the same shoes. cute outfit.
Aw, I love this! That dress is so cute, it would look great with mustardyellow tights, don't you think? I never spend much money on tights, I often rip them the first time I put them on!
really lovely dress!
The peter pan collar and the sweet bow on your flats are what make the outfit. It's perfect!

Stunning dress!!!!!!!
you look very sweet.
i completely agree though, cooler weather brings more interest to outfits. you can play with so many more layers.
I apologize for not checking to see where you live but definitely invest in warm tights! When It's cold I'll wear nice chunky tights with boots and really the only part of my leg thats a smidge cold is where my coat and shoes end, that space in between. I've really been wanting colorful tights I just feel like I could never pull them off. And I adore the simplicity of the dress. Sometimes its nice to get back to the simple.
You look so sweet and the shoes are adorable. I love your style.
I really hope Target gets little heart print tights that would make my day. I honestly can't wait to wear tights. I've barely worn my leggings.
That's adorable! Simple, yes but simple can be very elegant as this ensemble certainly is. Sometimes I wish I felt more comfortable in simpler outfits but I always feel the need to add a million accessories.
I love the peter pan collar on that dress!!

You look A D O R A B L E!! Tights, or no tights! I usually fall in love with any dress that has a rounded collar, but the length has got me too. Thanks so much for your continued support on my blog, dearie. <3
