Bright Stars

Bright Stars :: Loftus // DC // No flashHere are those starry tights when they were pristine. I went on a bit of a binge in The Sock Shop last winter and bought several pairs of brightly coloured tights. Interesting tights can be hard to find in Australia for some reason (department stores are so conservative), and one must look for them in boutiques or specialty stores.

Sadly, The Sock Shop closed down not long after I bought these tights, but fortunately I discovered there is a tiny outlet (about a quarter the size of the original store) in Southern Cross station of all places, amongst the newsagents and florists. (Note to self: keep an eye on it in case it disappears too.)

And of course there is always online shopping. I’ve bought great over-the-knee socks and tights from Free People and Asos, but here are some specialty sites: Sock Dreams (recommended by my friend Audrey, thank you), Tightology, Sweet Pins, and the UK’s The Sock Shop. Happy stocking shopping!
