Today's outfit was a real challenge because I had to wear a professional outfit for work that included colored tights (because of this week's challenge). Out of all my colored tights, I feel that burgundy is one of the few colors that could look professional if worn right.

I think I managed to make this outfit look work appropriate by keeping most of the outfit neutral and sophisticated. I really love this new beige trench my parents bought me for my birthday!

Do you wear colored tights to work? What colors do you use?

Here are all the ways in which I've worn this patterned skirt:

  5. Burgundy tights are great for business casual outfits. Navy, dark green, dark purple would be other great colored tights for work. :)

  6. I like this! I just bought my first pair of colored (if you don't count gray) tights today. They're plum purple. I can't wait to give them a try.

  7. With colored tights, it depends on how and what you wear with them. In your wonderful outfit, it's a perfect example. It looks very professional. I think that people shy away from colored tights because they're afraid of standing out. I just bought a pair of purple tights the other day and I haven't gotten any stares like I'm a weird alien.....I was very surprised. I love my colored tights, but I guess that's because I love colors!
