I am already a thigh high type of person. I never understood why anyone would want to wear full bodied panty hose. I hate anything too tight around my waist. That being said, it is summer time. So when I got a fabulous black lace, back seamed Italian made hosiery in the mail from VienneMilano , I wasn’t too sure how in the world to style them appropriately for public viewing!
Although I thought of some really cute ways for when the weather is cooler (it’s currently close to 100 degrees daily Houston) I was left with no alternative but home use! So, BAM! Here you go.
It’s my husband’s birthday anyway, so I get to multitask with my beautiful lace stockings.
Here’s the thing, a fabulous purple box comes in the mail. I open it, and out pop these great, but seemingly too long stockings with a band that looks as if it’s going to slide down my skinny thigh. (The only skinny part of my body.) However, after reading about the Italian made hosiery and design, I find that they are made to stay up. Way up. With regular thigh highs, they usually are short, and if you have on a trendy dress or skirt, the band would be seen. So they design these to fit higher up the thigh.
Special care is also taken to insure the band is no-slip. After reading, I slipped them on. Wow. Comfortable and snug, but not tight. The band adheres nicely to the skin. This is why I have always preferred thigh highs…they are actually low maintenance and comfortable when fitted correctly!
If you go to the VienneMilano website, you will see that they have tons of color and fabric options that can be worn for fun or work. Actually, for a professional environment, it is so much better to cover your legs anyway for a more groomed and professional look. They even have a friend referral program in which you tell 10 friends, and earn a free pair for yourself at https://www.viennemilano.com/socialrewards.php .
As for this wild pair, I can’t wait to restyle them this fall for outdoor use! In the meantime…Happy Birthday o my sweetheart. :0
