Blue tights?

lindseymon

Hey everyone!
I am interested to see what y'all think about this idea. I really like it but my mom was horrified when I mentioned it    I am having two bridesmaids and three brides-men at my March 24 evening wedding. It will be a pretty quirky event as my FI and I are both haunted house actors and oddballs. The bridesmaids are wearing short black dresses of their choosing with cobalt blue shoes.

My dress is short (above the knee), a cute white lace dress that I found at H&M. The H&M website actually had the dress in photos paired with sheer black tights. I thought it looked neat so I'm thinking I might like to wear cobalt blue tights and shoes. I think it would look modern and would also serve the purpose of covering up a tattoo on my left foot that I don't want my grandfather to see (haha). Are blue tights and shoes too much? I can just do the blue shoes and use cover-up makeup on the tattoo lol but I thought this was kind of different and fun.

Thank you so much in advance!

I don't see anything wrong with it but if you're worried about it being too much maybe get a different color shoe like red, green, black, white, or whatever you like.

I did find one picture online of a girl with blue shoes and blue tights which was barely noticeable, so I think you'll be fine with it if you like the look:

I like the idea of blue tights with a different colour shoe. Maybe something sparkly (if you're into that kind of thing..)

There are tons of different colour options to suit your personality I have actually have a pair and they can go from super classy to drunken girls night by just pairing them differently.

I agree, try it on to see what you think, but if you like it go for it! Sounds like fun

[QUOTE]If you have the dress, why not try it with the tights and see what you think? If you like it, cool. If not, go with the black or just bare.

I have to agree with this.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! I bought a pair of blue heels and matching tights at the same place I got my dress (H&M), tried it all on together and I love how it looks. It's modern and retro at the same time.    Y'all are awesome!!!!
