Decisions, Decisions....


Before we get to the question of the day, I have to tell you how much I love wearing a blazer with a dress.  They make outfits warm and cute, which is exactly what tights do.  The problem is...I can't decide which color tights I like better with this outfit.  (I know I look more excited about the black ones.)

What do you think?  Grey or Black?

Here is a cutie that can totally rock anything, especially a blazer and some black tights.


Ragan's blog, Touch of Serendipity, has quickly become one of my favorites for so many reasons, but specifically these:  

1.  She did a 30 for 30 wardrobe challenge that rocked my world.  (This was one of my favorite outfits from her challenge.)  

2.  She takes pictures that absolutely draw you in to her world.  How she does that, I don't know, but she does.  (Proof here

3.  She gives not one, but TWO full out tutorials on how to build a thrifty wardrobe.  (You can find those here.)

And what's even better is Ragan is giving away a pair of these fantastic monogrammed earrings, (You can choose from the following colors:  red, green, blue, pink, wood{brown}, black, white, or grey)

Erin said...

Definitely the black tights! But it's a tough choice. Black & grey are my two favorite colors. If you can't decide, you could always buy a pair from American Apparel, they make tights with each leg a different solid color. So neat! http://store.americanapparel.net/product/?productId=rsaphtc

Sam M said...

I never know which color tights to wear. I usually pull both up one leg each and ask my husband. Lately I've been wearing two pairs to keep warm. I love the idea of a blazer with a dress. Now I need to find a great blazer.

Denisa said...

Nice dresy. I prefer black tights.

I say go for the grey...partly because I am loving that shade right now and partly because black is predictable and fashion is risky sometimes. Grey is my vote! :)

You do look great in both and love that polka dot dress!

Caroline said...

You are adorable in BOTH! I think I prefer the black tights though... it just pulls the outfit together so well! :)

Amanda Cobb said...

Hmm, tough- I like both the grey and the black. For what it's worth, the grey seems more playful/casual, and the black more formal, so I guess it depends on where you're wearing it? LOVE the polka dot dress, by the way. :)

Ginny said...

Very cute, Ashley! I think I like the black tights, and I'm totally going to have to check out this blog, she sounds great!

I love both colors. I think the black looks a little fancier and the grey is a little more casual.

Hi, Ashley! Thanks for stopping by on my blog it means so much to me :). About your question, sorry, I'm not familiar with the area yet. We haven't lived here that long. I would suggest to checking sites like hotel.com or priceline, alot of times they have a good deal. I highly recommend to get a metro card if you're going to be here for a while cause it's easy to get around. Hope these help!
I love both colors, by the way! :)

Xo,

Daliene said...

Ok this may sound strange, but I think you look thinner with the grey tights so I vote for the black because you are already petite chic beautiful enough! I couldn't think of a more appropriate way to say it :/ sorry I'm random

Am I the only one that likes the grey?!? You know you could sport any color of tights and look fabulous in that outfit!

lost in travels said...

Wow you got a lot of votes! You should put up the end tally when people are done weighing in. And put me down for the black tights.

Susan Jeffries said...

I like both! You could probably wear the black to a bit more dressy occasion! Susan

leelee said...

Lindsay said...

I love the dress! I vote for the black with it.

Jessica Sweatt said...

Wow, you look so great in both it is such a tough call. I would pair this dress with black tights for church, but totally pull the gray ones out for Girls' Night!
