Surely not...

Last night I grabbed a pair of stockings from the local IGA. I needed a pair to wear with my woolen pants which although comfortable and wide legged, have a tendency to be a bit scratchy and I also wanted to wear my new shiny black Melbourne shoes.



Anyway this morning I was getting dressed and started to put on my stockings. At this point I will let you know that I am a big girl with long legs- even when I was underweight for my hight I had trouble with stockings not being long enough- so I bought stockings for the woman with a 'fuller figure'. As I was putting them on I found it a struggle....

There is something dreadfully wrong here ...

I was having difficulty putting them on....

Did I get the right sort? Yep they are fuller figure stockings, same brand I wore whilst on holiday a couple of weeks ago. Have I got suddenly much bigger??? Surely you can't put on weight that quickly???....

More struggling...

Maybe someone decided to play a trick in the shop and swapped them around...
Another check of the box....

CONTROL TOPS!!!! I had inadvertently bought control tops! I hate those things! they suck ( I was going to say they suck you in but I think they suck is right.) and make great muffin tops!
So I decided to cut the top off them, this seemed to work fine, while I was at home but during the day they started to roll over at the top and felt alarmingly like my pants were falling down!!!!

They are now in the bin!!!

I seem to be having a general "dislike of tights" winter this year.... and control tops are my idea of hell.
