how do you make thigh highs stay up while wearing leggings/tights underneath?

As the chill of fall and winter settles in, rocking skirts while staying warm can feel like a fashion dilemma. Enter thigh highs—your stylish solution for layering over fleece-lined tights or leggings. But how do you keep them from sliding down?

what SHOES to pair with this F19

When it comes to pairing shoes with your F19 ensemble, simplicity is key to maintaining that chic vibe. Consider plain, chunky heels for a playful twist—adding lacy socks can elevate the look while keeping it fresh and fun.

Aim for clean lines and avoid excessive straps or embellishments to let your outfit shine. Trust your instincts; you’re not fashion blind, just exploring your options!

Hey everyone! I'm excited to join this group and share my recent adventure in Vietnam, specifically Hoi An, a gem known for its tailor-made clothing and high-quality natural fabrics. I became obsessed with the Morton Mac label and couldn’t resist their stunning dress.
