Nylon Dermatology

I've been hesitant to jump onboard the train to tights-ville. My hesitations are probably the result of the fact that the fashion trend was born out of the previously OVER-popular leggings trend... which I, personally, found terrifying due to my belief that it could usher in a full on 80's fashion revival (ICK.). That, and, I felt Lindsay Lohan was wearing enough leggings for all of America.

But, I must admit, when opaque tights started popping up under the hems of fashionistas everywhere, I decided to give it a shot. And, in these winter months, I've loved being able to throw on a pair of thick black or brown nylons with a short work dress while still feeling weather-prepared.

But, now Im wondering if this fashion is too devil-spawn, because I saw a woman wearing something along the lines of THESE this morning.....

One word instantly popped into my head: leprosy.
