Alright, too be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure if this is a trend that my mom hates since I no longer see her everyday. That being said, knowing her for almost 20 years, I can almost guarantee that she probably doesn't care for it. When I first saw the trend myself a few months back on instagram, I wasn't entirely sold on it either. But some of my friends based in New York were really rocking it, then I moved to London and a few of my new friends here have worn them as well. I still wasn't sure on it, but then I actually needed to buy them for a school project I was working on (yes, really). Once they were in my hand, I knew that I just had to try the trend too, and what do you know? I kinda loved it. They're surprisingly comfortable and kept my legs warmer than I thought they would. Unfortunately, they already have a hole in the toe after only one and a half wears (the half a wear is from my project), but I'm going to try and keep wearing them until they get too uncomfortable on the toes.
For this look, I really wanted to incorporate my new leather jacket. Is it really leather? Definitely not; I got it from H&M for £20 (I got it for half price - score!). However, I'm in love with it and can't take it off. Because it's nearing winter, I paired the jacket and tights with short-sleeved denim dress with a turtleneck layered underneath for an extra bit of warmth. Finally I decided on my new Chelsea boots, as they're a classic that can be paired with almost anything. I wanted to go rather subtle when styling these fishnets because they can easily go very racy - a look I would like to avoid.
In other news, I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday. Since I'm London, I didn't really celebrate it, but I am having a Friends-giving tonight that I'm really looking forward to. It's been a lot of fun introducing my new English friends to American traditions.
