dash of tights

i've been getting some questions on my formspring (over there, on the right sidebar) about my tights, so here's a summary of my not-pants knowledge.

for colored tights: welovecolors nylon/lycra microfiber tights and american apparel opaque pantyhose are the best ones i've found. for me, cheaper versions snag super easily and/or aren't a saturated color once they're stretched out. sometimes i will layer a pair of darker tights under a cheap pair to make the color better.

for staying warm: i live in a snow climate and i'm a shiverer, so in the winter i layer. and then i layer some more. and then i put on a scarf. i rely heavily on uniqlo heattech leggings and tees for my base layer. this season i found some sweater tights at target that are like footed leggings (the opposite of footless tights) and are pretty warm. also, i have been known to wear socks over tights.

to wash them: i really should handwash all of them, but that doesn't happen. i run them with the rest of my clothes in a mesh bag and then airdry them on a drying rack.

other questions? leave a comment below or drop me a line at dashdotdotty at gmail dot com.

p.s.
to everyone who responded to my closet cleanout post back in november, i have finally packaged up the stuff and it will be leaving my house this week.

seven things about dotty

[+]
s. over at narrowly tailored tagged me for a seven things deal back on monday. so, here goes:

when i was 21 i packed up my little car and moved to las vegas. it was for a job.

my ex-boyfriends all end up going to law school.

i don't like watching movies more than once with very few exceptions (you've got mail, love actually, 500 days of summer) it only works if knowing the ending makes the movie better.

i heart ikea. i will go there anytime with anyone.

i take everything very seriously.

i am sometimes accused of being a three-year-old. i like straws, mushy foods, mittens, naps, etc.

i name my electronics. my good camera is bruce. my older camera is gilbert.

want in? consider yourself tagged!

seven things about my weekend

seven things i heart (weekend edition):

lacrosse. i played some lacrosse catch yesterday with my studio partner. neither of us have played since high school, but running around and scooping up ground balls felt pretty good. p.s. i'm a super unathletic person, but am oddly good at putt-putt.

rock band and pie.

the-rest-of-life days. i took saturday off from doing school work. i think this is my first day all semester with absolutely no sketching, reading, diagramming, writing, drawing, etc.

sister snacks. i went grocery shopping yesterday and picked up snacks that my sister likes because she'll be here in less than two weeks. yes! i really like snacks. so does my sister. that's why we get along so well.

super positive comments on my thesis book. probs the first time i've gotten an "i love it" comment from a professor.

pomegranates.

feeling ready for the week.

seven presents

i've been clearing out my closets (in an attempt to turn that into a singular noun) and so instead of bagging up all of it, i thought i'd see if any bloggies would be interested in any of it. so here's the deal:

everything is either a size small or extra-small. i'm five foot five, so if that helps you gauge sizes from the pictures.

i will be covering the cost of shipping, so this is only open to the contiguous forty-eight. (sorry, canada)
