Two years ago when I started wearing dresses, I decided to purchase tights for fall and winter. One Saturday morning, I headed to Bloomingdale’s in search of tights. When I got to Bloomie’s, they were having a hosiery sale so the selection was minimal. But luckily, I was able to snag a pair of black and brown Hue tights. I remember wearing tights when I was little and they were very uncomfortable. The tights were always falling down. All-in-all, tights were miserable! But there was no way I was going to spend the winter in New York with bare legs.
So one chilly morning, I opened the black tights dreading the struggle I was about to encounter. I slipped my foot in the first leg of the tights, then the other leg. I started pulling them on and they glided up my legs like silk. No struggle…yet. Then before you know it, the tights were on and I was shocked. I couldn’t believe how easily they went on and how comfortable they were. But there was still the walk to work. Would I be walking awkwardly hoping my tights didn’t drop? Nope, I walked to work and spent the rest of the day feeling great. My legs were warm and the tights fit just right.
Later that day, I went online to purchase some more of these amazing tights. We all know how exciting it is to find something we love and we have to buy them in every possible color. Well that’s what I did with these tights. I opened my browser and in the search bar I typed in “Hue Plus 3”. What came after I pressed “Enter” was shocking and made me laugh hysterically. Apparently, in my search for tights at Bloomingdale’s, I had purchased Plus Size tights. Yes, I was wearing the largest size of plus size tights. No wonder why they went on without any struggle and were amazingly comfortable. Unfortunately, the plus size tights only lasted one good use.
Moral of the story: Follow the size guide on the back.
