I saw these stockings the first time I ever came to the EF site and immediately fell in love. They were out of stock for the longest time and was thrilled when I received the alert that they were available again.

I was even more thrilled when the delightful administrators agreed to send them to me for review.

I received them a couple of weeks back, put them on and was temporarily stymied.

Yes, they are adorable - but for the moment I couldn't quite figure out what the most appropriate occasion would be to wear them. They're more "fun" than "sexy".

Cute little schoolgirl outfit? Goth chick?

Those options seemed more likely than pairing them with a silky babydoll.

So, I went out one night with the girls, paired them with some black boots and a cute little skirt and assessed the situation.

I think they would be best with maybe a plaid skirt and a baby tee than what I did with them, but they were OK. I liked them peeking over the top of the boots anyhow. And they do draw attention to the legs, no doubt about that.

What did I like about them?
Again, they are kinda fun and flirty without being blatantly "come f*ck me". They make people look at your legs which is a bonus. And they are warm - so if you're going out in a little skirt in cooler weather, these are a "practical" option to go with.

What didn't I like?
Well, I kinda felt that my legs looked a bit fat. The black stripes stretched a bit to show the white lining, which wasn't so great for the ego.
And I did get a bit itchy by the end of the evening. They perhaps aren't meant to be worn for 6 hours.

Neither of those factors are deal breakers though - I did like them overall, and am excited to plan my next little outfit with them.
